For my dustjacket, or obituary

Lifted from reviews of various products on Amazon.com, references changed to boost my own ego.

"Wow, was the reaction that i gave once i (read) diz amazing (website) and all the (posts) are hott...When it comes to dropping the illest (words)? Besides, (Otis), and (Pauly)? (BG) always holds it down. Ight, onto "(GamblingBlues)" by (BG), its raw,dark, haunting,gives you a feeling of beating some one up and the lirycs are straight. I highy recomment diz (website)."

"I really can't even explain it...the amount of work that must go into writing this (blog) is unbelievable. The subtle humor, the way (posts) further into the (future) will make call backs to earlier (posts), the silly quirks of each of the (moods of BG). It's a shame that (supposedly) they're thinking about (changing the blog) after the (next WPBT Vegas trip), and it's ironic that the (blog's) best quality is probably the cause of it. This isn't the kind of (blog) you can just tune into in the middle of (a rant). While (BG), the (blog's author) does his best at getting the new (reader) up to date with what's going on, this (website) is no where NEAR as funny unless you've been (reading) all along and can understand all of the sly, subtle humor relating to events past. Honestly, this (blog) is best to (read at home) where you can (re-read posts) over again, and (scroll back) to (read) the parts you missed because you were laughing so hard the first time.

In short, do yourself a favor and (read) this (blog), and (read his other stuff) if/when it comes out. At the risk of sounding cliche (a lot of people say this, but it's true), this is the best (blog on the web) since (Grubby). On a weekend when you have nothing to do, (read all 500,000 words), all in a row. That's the way this (blog) is best enjoyed."

"You people complaining about this (blog) are looking for a different product. It's like going into the cereal aisle of the supermarket and grabbing a box of Frosted Flakes and yelling "HEY! THESE aren't Crunchberries! How DARE this NOT be a box of my beloved CRUNCHBERRIES!!!" You know how stupid you sound? So you don't happen to care for this specific (blog). SO WHAT? Your every whim has not yet been met by the marketplace. Boo-HOO. How about this: Just don't (read) the freaking thing! Wait until YOUR favorite flavor gets (published). Dopes."

"There's no question about it in my opinion. (BG) has written the best (blog) on poker ever -- and without a doubt the best (advice) on No Limit Hold Em. Without going into exhaustive detail, let me just say that (BG) takes the oft difficult concepts of no limit hold em and poker in general and makes them simple and clear. Not that he suggests that mastering expert play is simple or easy -- but he presents the information that the successful player must have so well that the many, many significant concepts are easily grasped.

This (blog) is, by design, written to teach people how to win no limit texas hold em tournaments. But it accomplishes must more than that. (BG) presents the essence of successful poker play and with it builds the firm foundation of understanding that is so often missing from other poker (blogs).

I am a poker author. I wish I had read this text before I wrote my first poker (blog) or poker article. And I certainly wish I had read this (blog) before my first no limit hold em game. And I will say, once again, I truly believe this to be the best poker (blog) ever written -- and there's (more) yet to come. Bravo (Boy Genius)!"

"I was very scared by this (website). I am afraid of people who change personalities like this. It reminds me too much of the Democratic party here in the USA!

Yo, all kidding aside... This is some of the funniest sh** I've ever seen. For those of you who say that it lacks intelligence, you're obviously not well-versed in dramatic irony. This guy is a gifted comedian, and I would recommend it to anyone with an above average IQ, a relatively open mind and a healthy heart (the laughter might kill you otherwise). I'm also a huge fan of (Bob) - if that tells you anything. Peace out!"

"One of the funniest (blogs) ever is on (the web)! This is the one (blog) i can honestly say there is not a single bad (post). If you've seen this (website) its not hard to understand why they say its based on Nothing. (BG is) always getting into predicaments over the most trivial things! The (archives of this blog have) unforgetable episodes like the one where (BG gives an ex-girlfriend the "Fredo" speech) and the one where (BG answers phones on a telethon). If you love (GamblingBlues) you've probably (read) all of these but (visit) this (website) anyway it has excellent (stories) and has tons of extras!"

"A previous reviewer condemned this (blog) as being derivative, poorly written, and -- most scandalous of all -- unfunny. This (website), however, takes a certain kind of outlook to enjoy. It would be nice if everyone could get the same benefits from the (blog) as everyone else. That's not going to happen, however. One thing we CAN depend on is that the point remains the same. This is the only existentialist (website) apart from (BadBlood On Poker) that even has pretensions of wit. Since it's a known fact that people learn more when they're laughing, it makes it easier to convey the (blog's) inner message of whether we are free as individuals, whether we are capable of making our own decisions apart from our society, and whether that freedom even matters once a decision has been made by [for?] us. Worth reading, but not everyone will be equally entertained."

"(GamblingBlues) is one of the most fascinating (websites) i have ever read in my whole life. It helped me to change my perspective of life, to be more optimistic and to be much more objective than subjective. I can now see the situations of life through the eyes of the other people. I can come down to their way of thinking and can know why they object with me, or disagree with me in many cases, and/or i disagree with them. i came to a conclusion, that perceptions of the people differ in many ways and in order to reach the highest level of understanding people you have to change your perspective and try to see what they see though their own eyes, and not only through my own eye. (GamblingBlues) is truly recommended for every one. While reading this (website) I got the feeling that i am in another world, where I can see through it the truth and reality. (BG) in that (blog) really fascinated me and my thoughts, and he is incomparable to (Al Can't Hang), who is also dealing with many of the themes in (BG's blog), but in a very broad way that can not help you enough to get in to depth and know how people think."

I give myself five stars. According to the above, I kick all sorts of ass.
