Acknowledgments

hot_pastrami · 08-31-2009, 02:01 AM

Hey all,

I still do hang around the ol' Cellar from time to time, though I seldom add my verbiage to the discussions these days. I find that I spend so much time writing that it's become more of a chore than a recreational activity. So I lurk.

I just wanted to let you guys know that my much-too-long-in-coming book is finally published, and the Cellar was among a small handful of sites I specifically mentioned in the acknowledgments. To see it for yourself, simply go here and search for "Acknowledgments." See? I still (heart) the Cellar! *cough*

Anyway, I hope that everyone is doing just splendidly!

XOXOXO

wait, wait ... YOU'RE the guy behind damninteresting.com! Holy crap, I LOVE that site! I had no idea.

This makes me like 3 steps removed from awesome.

I am indeed the founder of the aforementioned site... much to my alternating chagrin and delight (gah, I think I channeled Suess there for a moment). Damn Interesting is big fun and quite rewarding, but it is also a very demanding pursuit which comes with negligible monetary reward. So it goes, I suppose.

Thanks for the compliments, though! Yay for compliments!

Thanks HP! Bought with one-click.

Nice to see you're alive and well. Good luck with everything! Don't be such a stranger.

Doesn't let me view acknowledgements. Tells me I must have a valid account with a prior purchase to do so

Way to go though mate.

You had me at "banana sex workers".

Congrats man!

Very cool, HP!!

I've clicked "I'd Like to Buy this on Kindle" and added a physical copy to my cart.

Interestingly, I was just thinking of you ... there was some Nissan ad on TV recently that drops a car from a height in front of a large sign advertising "Hot Pastrami" and briefly wondered if LJ was trying to send secret messages. So I laid off the caffeine for the rest of the night and I stopped having thoughts like that.

Thanks everybody! You guys are the best. Way better than those other guys on other sites that are only OK.

DanaC · 09-02-2009, 06:36 PM

You go to other sites? *shocked and betrayed*

lumberjim · 09-02-2009, 07:44 PM

how can I get an autographed copy?

ZenGum · 09-02-2009, 08:16 PM

Buy one, and sign it. Duh.

I could send you one, I'd just need an address. And a big, wet, sloppy hug.

hey HP you don't know me but.... what the hell are you doing near SLC? Is there a mormon thing going on there? or is there not and that's how come you have time and willing to do the damninteresting thing. Or ignore me if I'm being too personal and offensive...

i just assumed you were either in PA or CA ...and now i noticed you're not -very far from it
