White Trash Diva

I come from a long line of poor white trash. My dad's family grew up in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri, living in beat-up trailers on farms full of rocks back in the holler. I can't hear Ozark Mountain Jubilee without wanting to take a road trip home on Route 66, through those twisty red roads covered with flint and oak leaves, embellished with black-eyed susans and orange dust.

So trust me when I say that I have a high level of tolerance for rednecks. In many ways, as a girl who grew up shoveling manure and riding in rodeos, I am one, still, and it doesn't lay very far underneath my corporate persona (such as it is). Anyone who knows me in real life (Calamity, for instance), can affirm this. I'm not that ladylike, and I'd just as soon be leaping off a platform at the local spring with the teenage boys as sitting here in my office in a dress. Or, being shot at, that's always good, too.

So, I didn't expect today's blogger to get on my last damn nerve, but she did. First off, let me say that ANYONE who refers to herself as a princess, queen, or diva should have been killed at birth. Nothing good ever comes of these kinds of women, and I almost always hate them without exception. And, when you tell me in your ugly, blurry header that "all I know how to do is bitch," I want to rassle you down and rip your titties and tiara off.

That's never a good start, is it? You know an ass reaming is fixing to follow, just like Arkansas boys follow a herd of sheep, mooning after a hot date.

Item 1: The redneck corporate persona wears thin for me, darlin. I call bullshit. You're just trying too damn hard. It's too shallow, there isn't enough depth to your posts. I don't buy that the person you put on your blog is the real you. I don't get why a grown woman would feel a need to prove how much she drinks and smokes and swears, and how that person is the REAL her. Is it so you can show you haven't sold your soul to the company man? Mostly, I think you're lost, searching for an identity, and glomming on to whatever comes easiest. You aren't willing to put it out there and post anything of substance and meaning, so you rely on the tired old "you might be a redneck" bullshit. Dammit. Can I get a fucking amen on how sick I am of that particular persona?

Item 2: I hate your template. Your header image is ugly, I can't read the font, and I loathe your tagline. I hate how many goddamn graphics you have on your blog. I hate it that you have your post labels directly under your post titles, which is fucking confusing as hell. Move that shit down to the bottom of your post, like any sane person. I hate your cluttered sidebar. Clean that shit up. Follow the advice here. Look at some of our well-reviewed blogs. You can find them here.

Item 3: Unless you're posting pictures of a ram's ginormous testicals, lay the fuck off. I'm setting a strict limit of 1 picture per post for you. You aren't a 12-year-old on myspace. I'm assuming you've had a computer for a while now. Grow up.

Item 4: I hate your content. I hate the fact that you don't put your writing into actual paragraphs.

Don't ever say this about your kids again:
Another bad habit is that I love to torment the children. They are really turds and since they don’t do what they are supposed to, I feel it my duty to make them as miserable as possible.

Not to sound like a tight ass, but your children aren't turds. If they are, the blame lays squarely on your doorstep. Being a parent is a privilege. People who down-talk their families piss me off. It's low class.

Also, don't reference your darling grandpa immediately following a paragraph about pole dancing.

Stop fucking bragging about being a drunk bitch. That went out of style when you were 21. At our age (near 40), it makes you look retarded.

Listen, I'm the girl who once made out with my cousin after a funeral (his dad's). I get redneck. Do you get how despicable your content is when I'm calling you low class?

In short, in a half hour of reading, I could not find a single goddamn post of yours that didn't piss me off in some way. I wouldn't read your blog again if you paid me to serve as CFO. In short, your blog makes me want to find new and different places to punch a bitch. I've done uterus, ovaries, and kidneys to death, so maybe I'll start with your appendix and then swing a bag of quarters at your thighs.

Grow up, sweetie. Your blog lacks any goddamn semblance of class, depth, talent, or any other thing that would interest me.

I rate you:



You're not even a good train wreck.

  2. P.S. Her blog post for today starts off "I just got the news that my happy ass has been reviewed by Ask & Ye Shall Receive. And they didn’t rip me apart. Cool, huh?"


    ...

    ReplyDelete
  3. Obviously she is retarded if she doesn't think she got ripped apart.

    Amen!

    ReplyDelete
  4. That was a beautiful, on the money, ass reaming!
    Oh, and AMEN!

    ReplyDelete
  5. you end up sitting on your ass in communal showers thinking about vomiting because of the smell of your peach shampoo.

    I pretty much left those days behind after puking once because peach snaps was coming out of my pores while running hungover in college.

    ReplyDelete
  6. How exactly does one go about ripping titties off? It's not an easy thing to do, they tend to slip out of your grasp and scream and call the police.

    ReplyDelete
  7. I love that she thinks the blurb about upcoming reviews was her review.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Woozie:

    It works best with the C-D cups. You just need to get a firm grip, and yank. It's especially easy with the old bitches like today's reviewee, because they are hanging kinda low and loose, and they just pop right off with a slight sucking sound.

    Cal: Seriously. I was in the midst of writing it when I clicked back to the blog to find a graphic, and saw that. I about died laughing.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Wait, that's probably peach schnapps, huh, not "snaps."

    ^everyone laugh at the retarded girl above.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Honestly, I've had a right coughing fit from the laughter.

    Phlegm all over the fucking place.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I absolutely hated her blog. What a loser. What an absolute waste of pixels.

    ReplyDelete
  12. You are the one exception to the queen rule, darlin. And, I mean that down to my little pink toenails. The mutha has spoken, and thus we know, this blogga be a waste o'skin & nail polish.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I love you betsey booms.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I feel sorry for the kids.

    ReplyDelete
  15. You know, I'm glad that I'm not the only person in the blogoshere who gets that there is just some shit you don't do...Sometimes, I feel like I'm putting myself out on a limb in these posts, and it affirms my sense of trust in the human race to hear people like Key and others vouching for the same perspective about kids.

    My kids are so precious to me. I can't imagine feeling otherwise, even with teenagers.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I love you too, Tattooed Mama.

    Turd. Wow, there's a word she doesn't direct at herself often enough.

    I see women like her every Sunday.

    On a little show called Cops.

    ReplyDelete
  17. To hear that a parent is intentionally making her kids miserable makes me sick to my stomach. It's bad enough when it's unintentional, but intentional? Unforgivable. You could seriously fuck them up for life.

    And if it was said as a joke? It was in poor taste and wasn't done very well.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I LOVED her act, back when I first saw it on the Jerry Springer show, in '97.

    ReplyDelete
  19. She makes me feel very very good about myself. And reminds me to get glasses. I honestly could NOT make out that header at all.

    ReplyDelete
  20. PS: LB, I think I might be ready to lay down on your alter. Wanna do me?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Back off, if anyone doing the do around here....

    ReplyDelete
  22. Mr. Lady of Blogher fame wants to do me? Sweet. I feel rather arrogant & en vogue right now.

    Or is that en vague?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Funny stuff. Poor thing, still doesn't know she got a bad review, looks like. Who knows? Maybe where she comes from "turd" is cute? Maybe it's like me calling my baby "monkey"?

    I mean, she has comments so obviously she has people reading her blog, so some people find it, you know, readable...? I'm trying to find the good stuff, but really, she comes out as the older woman in a wet T-shirt contest, that you wish would move a bit to the side, you know? The one that wishes Girls Gone Wild existed twenty years ago.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Mr Lady of stood on a stage and kind of made an idiot of herself and not it's on youtube for eternity fame humbly requests that you do her.

    XBox can have the other end. We've already covered that.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Do I have a 3 days buyers remorse clause or anything? Because I just now re-read that and threw up a little.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I spoke too soon.

    Do you get paid to be a bitch or does it just make you feel good to be above everyone else?

    ReplyDelete
  27. God, could you imagine if we got paid? Delicious.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Trust me, kitten, if anyone here got paid to be nasty, this is a place you would certainly not submit your blog to. Look at the free nastiness already here. Your blog sucks. You can think whatever you want, but writing it makes it a different ball game.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Um ... Catscratch? I'm sure there were plenty of times when my parents didn't care for my bodacious ass ... they would NEVER, however, have bad-mouthed me in a public forum. Period.

    Time to put on those big girl panties and accept that your blog got the review it deserved. You may have some really amazing things to say ... but that's not evident from what's on your blog. You need to get out of your own way and let the real stuff hit the page if you want to get a better response.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I guess there's no explanation. I love my kids. Sorry I offended anyone here.

    You don't know me, my friends or family and it was all in fun.

    I really thought that came across.

    ReplyDelete
  31. It came across, but it was in poor taste.

    And if you offend people HERE...I mean, that's bad. Have you seen some of the shit Key vomits on these comments?

    (It's goddamn poetry.)

    ReplyDelete
  32. Thanks, Rassles, I think I'm tearing up. Kidding, I just got maced by a librarian.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Her jokes about her kids seem to be pretty obviously in fun to me. In much the same way I think we can assume Rodney Dangerfield didn't really want anyone to "take his wife." It's a staple in humor to write or say things like that.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Wow, she's really taken it hard.

    I just wonder if people READ the reviews here before they submit.

    I almost feel badly for her.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Were you a personal friend of Mr. Dangerfield? No. Did you know his wife? It's funny when it's delivered properly, but with this staple, the point is that somewhere, down deep, we all believe he wants someone to take his wife. And I don't feel bad for her at all. There again, I don't feel bad for many people to tell you the truth. When I was little, I felt bad for Tom Landry.

    ReplyDelete
  36. When I said I felt badly for her, I should have said that I feel badly that she is obviously really bothered by something she asked for.

    And then subsequently took really poorly.

    Good lord. Someone buy the barfly a drink.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Easy, Tits. I can call you Tits, right? I just got all fired up about someone thinking there was anything funny about her kid comments. If she was funny, which she isn't, we would know not to take her commentary seriously. But she isn't, therefore, I fully believe she intends to make her children miserable. Besides, I can't drink for another 54 fucking days.

    ReplyDelete
  38. It's not so much the 'review' that hurt.

    It's the way you people are like blood thirsty buzzards on a feed frenzy that really hurts.

    I saw the review you did for Slick. I think he's hilarious. I thought the review was cute in a sadistic kind of way.

    I didn't realize how blatently mean people can be when sitting behind a screen with a keyboard. I thought it was a 'tongue in cheek' kind of thing, not an attack of wild dogs.

    Anyway, thanks for the review. I wish you, your crew and your fans who watch the attack from the peanut gallery the best.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Key, I feel bad for Landry too. He got fired before he could ever see Aikman's beautiful ass running that field.

    So sad.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Key - Barfly referenced the reviewee... And no, you can't call me tits. That's reserved for DPH.

    I must now go circle roadkill.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Um, well, I guess we agree in some odd way, Rassles. BB: noted.
    Blood thirsty? Guilty as charged. Behind a screen? I don't see where that is relevant seeing as how your blog is done from behind a screen.

    ReplyDelete
  42. There you go Random, you have spirit. You know who else sucks? Collective Soul.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Catscratch, i've gotten my ass handed on a platter here as well, and the best thing you can do is take it for what it is - a wake up call! Getting friends to do some PR won't change anything either...

    Ok, now i'm gonna go back into that hole I crawled outta before Gene comes back at me with his magic wand!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Well well well Joesph.

    The new look is already much much better. I must have a read of what you've been up to....

    ReplyDelete
  45. Ah shit, must you Gene? Give it another two weeks if you will.. i didn't realize how much there was to work on until I got started!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Fair enough Joesph, I have to take my KKK smocks to the dry cleaners anyway, but I'll be back...

    ReplyDelete
  47. My apologies for the KKK overtones Gene.. apparently WTD here isn't the only person here with overtly defensive friends (which is what triggered my comment!)

    ReplyDelete
  48. Gene, you're doing it wrong. Buy the vinyl ones, just don't stand too close to the cross or things could get sticky.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I didn't ask anybody to do anything for me.

    I linked back to this site, as I assume that's what I'm supposed to do even if the review makes me look like a classless, heartless whore.

    Who am I not to link back?

    ReplyDelete
  50. Not a problem Joesph, was taken with the same level of seriousness as intelligence with which it was uttered.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Do you get paid to be a bitch or does it just make you feel good to be above everyone else?

    While the salary is generous (I am occasionally allowed to lick keywork's ass), it's the benefits that really hooked me on the job.

    Did you even spent 2 seconds reading this site before you submitted your blog here? Clearly, you did not.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Earlier today, she had a graphic in her sidebar that read, "Little girls cry, big girls say Fuck You."

    I wondered at the time what her reaction would be when I saw that.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Betsey Booms, you know I like calling you Tits McGee. Not just tits. You're so much more to me than just tits (not really).

    ReplyDelete
  54. She didn't cry, though, so that's good. She got pissed and defensive, and punched back.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Aside from everything else, I just have to say that I found this part of the review so completely endearing:

    "I'm the girl who once made out with my cousin after a funeral (his dad's)"

    Only a girl with a really big heart would do such a thing. Kudos to you, Love Bites:)

    ReplyDelete
  56. You didn't ask? Au contraire, madam.

    Love bites, before you sound even more condescending than usual - a Herculean feat, to be sure - you might want to read all the comments first. She wasn't saying she didn't ask for the review. She was responding to this comment of Joe's:

    Getting friends to do some PR won't change anything either...

    If you're going to be more unkind than you already are, you at least might want to be patronizing about the right thing.

    Right, sweetie?

    ReplyDelete
  57. Melissa, point taken. You're correct.

    ReplyDelete
  58. One of the many things that suck about Wordpress themes is that many of them put all the tags up top, right under the title. Without knowing how to change the codes (CSS?), Wordpress bloggers are forced to choose that over something more annoying, say like 4 column themes.

    ReplyDelete
  59. P.S. See Review, Item 2. This wasn't entirely random.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Don´t mind me, I´m just laughing my ass off at the quote of the week now.

    I think when you submit here you have to kind of expect to get your ass handed to you, right? Not knowing that you might, is probably what makes your blog worthless to begin with - lack of forethought.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Part of the fun of Ask is the verbal smackdown you get in the comments. Oh, you get a review, sure. But you also get the peanut gallery serving you shit up hot and tasty. Group effort and all that.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Trashball. Heh.

    A new word in my lexicon.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Hi, Neat post. Theгe's an issue along with your site in internet explorer, would check this? IE still is the market chief and a huge portion of people will omit your excellent writing due to this problem.
