He uses the cyber date-rape drug. On himself. Then he brutally attacks his penis. And likes it.

Adding too much information can ruin a joke. Next, more overkill:

It's a repeat of the "long/short" timing, from the first two lines. Too much of a good thing.

Just that first sentence wouldn't have been serious, snooty, or mushmouthed enough.

Less is more. The first sentence was powerful. The additional text only diluted it, leaving it spread thin, and ineffective.

It's nice to see some literary criticism taking place here in the Cellar. Long overdue, I say.

I think if she had separated those three comments only adding in between other people's posts it would have really worked.
An "LJ Streaming Narrative".
A new and innovative writing style. Whaddaya think? I might adopt it.

I'm getting to that Flint. I am demostrating. The new and innovative writing style is the "LJ Streaming Narrative."

Now say I brought up possible contents of LJ's underwear drawer as an example. (this is fiction folks and not intended as a jab)
Again.

Lj scowls and folds up the binoculars, and goes to the back bedroom and opens the drawer.
