Ed Yourdon's New Book

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unk's Troll-free Private Saloon : One Thread

Looks like Ed's got a new book. Someone over at Amazon gave him a not-so-favorable review. Can't imagine why. The folks over at the Olson Nuthouse are in a tizzy about it though. Save poor Ed!!! LOL.

It's probably more readable the Michael Moore's autobiography "Stupid White Man".

I figured his next book would be something like this:

"Edible Features of the New Mexico Landscape"

Chasin' the idiot at the book signing...

Once again, the frightened old ladies and weak-minded morons at FatOlsonLand have come to the aid of their Supreme Master…..Ed ‘Y2K YoYo’ Yourdon. Notice that one of the ‘reviewers’ of Yourdon’s new book at the Amazon site is none other than Steve Heller.

Looks like Amazon has chosen to take the low road and cull out any negative comments on Ed’s fish wrap offering. Yesterday, there appeared a review that accurately portrayed Yourdon as the shameless fear monger that he is.

I say go to Amazon and complain about the sanitizing of these reviews so the general public gets both sides of the story.

Does any one know what the premise of the book is? 9-11 and IT, it presents a case for disaster recovery but that doesn't take a whole book to say. Just curious.

Too funny! Olson complains the negative review comes from a troll?! That does my morning chuckle.

TROLL!!! Here’s a real troll.

Yourdon pimps for Heller, Heller pimps for Yourdon.

"It's probably more readable the Michael Moore's autobiography "Stupid White Man"."

Moore's book is selling like hotcakes and topping all the charts. If it is too hard for you to read the problem is most likely with you, not the book. Are you repugs having trouble with this book because it exposes the truth? Thought so.

Good day everyone.

I am sending this global email as a notice that I am taking the preliminary steps to setup an "ads page", where members can advertise their businesses on the board.

If you have any interest, email or PM me. Here is what I have in mind:

I will setup a separate HTML page, on which will be placed modest sized ad graphics and hotlinks. Some text would also me okay, just not a page-full.

Nothing illegal or pornographic will be allowed.

I will initiate a "contract" with you. I think a fair price would be $100 a year.

There would be an easily observable link or small graphic on the main page, which when clicked on would take them to the ads page.

No banners or popups would be accepted.

If you are interested, please let me know. If there is sufficient interest, we'll get things going.

NOTE: TB2K is a NON-PROFIT board, and all funds would be used solely for connection/bandwidth charges, and equipment upgrades.

Thanks,

Dennis

Well, well, what have we here?

Unfettered from the registration and censorship restrictions at his own FatOlsonLand, the Blubberous Buffoon hisself waddles over here to solicit advertising at the ‘House of Doom’.

Mondays always seem to offer up a surprise or two but rarely with so much intrinsic humor.

However, upon reflection this could prove to be a marketing bonanza for those offering creative products and services tailored to the FatOlsonLand audience. Some possibilities:

REAL-TIME CHEMTRAIL ALERTS- A fee based subscription service that sends an audio alert whenever a new ‘sighting’ takes place. Members must be wearing their official tin foil receptor beanie in order to receive these notifications. Details on each incident would be available in a special pass worded area at….where else….FatOlsonLand.

FEAR ON DEMAND- A special service for the hand-wringing doomers that find themselves actually enjoying their lives and the prospects for a positive future. One need only purchase a special code designator and whenever the need arises, a completely new and unfounded disaster rumor will be sent to the member, via fax, e-mail, or telepathic transmission. Just think, it would no longer be necessary to sort through the usual tripe posted at FatOlsonLand.

1-900-PRAY4ME- Now, when you need some quick outside help with the man above, you no longer need to grovel at FatOlsonLand for prayer assistance. For the paltry sum of $9.99 per minute, Professional Prayer Consultants will deliver your message directly to the throne room. No need to concern yourself with the outside chance that the voluntary ‘prayer helpers’ at FatOlsonLand are in fact without credentials with the authority on high. So, the next time you need help landing that night shift job at Circle K, just dial-up the pious folks at 1-900-PRAY4ME. (Avoid calling during the peak ‘love connection’ hours of 8am to midnight).

Yes, it looks like Dennis is on to something here……or maybe just ON something.

Come on folks……place your ad while space is available.

Troll-boy,

Psssst babycakes, have I gotta secret for you! Michael Moore is in it for the money. He makes money off of true-believers like you who pay for his entertainment products. Suckah!

He is a phoney. He portays himself as a progressive but runs his dumb-show outta non-accessible venues like this.

How insensitive!

..........

"Free", LOL

Dennis, you could be your own ‘first advertising customer’…………

BABY OF-THE-MONTH CLUB- Qualified members will be sent new offerings at the beginning of each month. All babies are certified to be ‘available’ at the request of the birth mother (12-15 years old), who can no longer afford to support the little tykes without income or assistance from the father, who is often the mother’s father as well.

DJ Placement Services of Hudson, WI reserves the right to establish the qualification parameters for the NEW families. This will include, but not be restricted to, the following:

· A medical certification that the potential adoptee has been diagnosed as Paranoid Schizophrenic.

· Third-party documented proof that new family is the joke of the neighborhood and shunned by normal folks for outlandish doomer positions on every political, social, and technological issue to date.

· Must own a minimum of 46 operational firearms and 20,000 rounds of ammo for each. Bonus points will be awarded to those with recorded incidents of accidentally shooting mailmen or pizza delivery boys that appeared on their porch.

· You must provide a notarized inventory of the actual preps at your residence. 3700 boxes of stale Hamburger Helper, 2000 Lbs. of rat infested rice, and 900 gallons of rancid stored water are minimum requirements.

· A Caterpillar 3412 500kW Generator Set, installed in the back yard, is a basic requirement. Title of ownership must be submitted with your BOTMC application.

· At least one of the primary adults must be currently out on parole.

Join NOW as supplies are limited.

"Psssst babycakes, have I gotta secret for you! Michael Moore is in it for the money."

Not sure who you were talking to, but I'll answer that...

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH!!!

Have you ever seen somebody sell a book who wasn't in it for money?

Sheeesh, you Repugs are dense!

I suppose when one of your fellow scumbags sells a book he tells you it's not for the money. Bwaaahahahaaa! Sucker!!

-- (Rolo@is.retarded), April 08, 2002.


LOL!!

Hey "nut case", it looks like you're losing your crusade to destroy Olson. He's going to do whatever he wants regardless of how much childish babble you spew. Unfortunately for the ignorant conservatives like you, it's a free country, so he can even post on this forum.

Looks like it's time for you to find another place to throw your tantrums. You might have a hard time finding somewhere where everyone is as stupid as you, but please, don't let that stop you! Idiot.

BWAAAAHAHAAAAHAAAHAHAAA!!! Nut case is "pissing in the wind"!

Whis is that a big "secret" to anyone except a dumbass like you??

That's the thing about FatOlsonLand, they believe in free speech, as long as it relates to them. They would be outraged at not being able to post here. The fact that members of this board are not even able to SEE their board (let alone post) doesn't seem hypocritical to them at all.

All the more reason to continue to make fun of their paranoia...

Hey wait a minute, Unk! Did you actually give the secret handshake to Dennis?

-- Maria (anon@ymous.com), April 09, 2002.

No, it's just someone who reposted a message Dennis apparently sent to TimeBomb members. Note that the post refers to itself as a "global email."

-- (what@i.think), April 09, 2002.

Oh, this is getting real good! The post that started this thread has a link to Amazon’s review page for Ed Yourdon’s new book. Seems that a negative review stirred up the insects at the Time Bomb forum and Dennis Olson asked his flock to send nice reviews for Ed.

With me so far?

Click on the Amazon link and look at the circus surrounding this situation. It is so obvious that members of Olson’s group are posting glowing reviews while at the same time refuting the original bad comments as coming from a troll.

Still with me?

Today, you will note that there are 3 or 4 additional reviews that slam the book and it’s author. This should really stir up the nest over at doomer central.

Might be worth checking in at Amazon for a daily update. Or not.

*sigh*

The best part is that the original review they are referring to was removed, no doubt at the request of the loonys at TimeBomb, which now makes those refutations and "troll" comments look silly. Perhaps that's why the regulations for posting reviews specifically state that you should not refer to other reviews. Maybe they figure that the rules don't apply to them, kinda like a "troll." LOL.

-- (ha@ha.ha), April 09, 2002.


Well Maria, looks like you’ve caught the eye of our village idiot. He’ll calm down when the Prozac kicks in.

Getting back to the Yourdon book reviews for a minute. If you were Ed, ya think maybe you would be asking the retards at FatOlsonLand to ‘stop already with your help’?

By the time those morons are done, Amazon will slash the price down to S&H.

-- Free (head@case.analysis), April 09, 2002.


Okay I admit, I am the troll who posted those reviews bashing Ed's book. I like to do childish things because I'm an immature retard, besides I wouldn't know how to write a serious review even if I could read. LOL! I like fucking with Olson even if it screws it up for other customers!

What, are you dense??!

I posted the shitty reviews of Ed's book over at Amazon just to get Olson and the doomers all bent out of shape. LOL! Looks like it worked!

What part of "I'm a stupid troll" don't you understand?

Sorry, I'm not really Free (head@case.analysis). I'm just a troll stealing his identity. I thought it would be funny. I guess it's not.

-- Free (head@case.analysis), April 09, 2002.

We already KNOW you're a troll "Nut Case", that has been obvious since you first posted on this forum. The real question is why you are obsessed with Dennis Olson to the point that you are engaging in sociopathic behavior. Perhaps you should visit Nemesis, he specializes in therapy for people with mental disorders.
