No, really. These were 7 years ago, so don't blame us for your failures you fat faggot.
Some selections...
"I actually like the joke, and it made me smile a little. Not laugh, mind you, but smile. But... You're kinda coming off like a douchebag in the comments section."
"I never really want to crap on someone, but the joke needs work. You come off as petulant and very unsympathetic"
"This is the worst joke I've ever seen posted here" (Rick's reply: "I know, right? What's wrong with these hundreds of people?" to negative 23 karma)
"I have never seen an OP get heckled and bomb so hard in the comments. Wow"
"So lame. Nothing witty or interesting to see here"
"Get a job and stop telling shit jokes then" (Rick's reply: "Wow, thanks. That never occurred to me. This advice will really turn my life around. You should be a life coach. Maybe pursue a career in motivational speaking or writing self-help books" to negative 12 karma)
"I remember when I first discovered sarcasm, too."
But my favorite is Rick responding to one of the few ballwashers:
"
Hey look, someone who gets it. I've been on the reverse of this joke too. I was an aspiring writer for years before getting my first book deal. Now my debut novel is coming out in November. That comes with all sorts of new problems and responsibilities, working with editors and agents, self-promotion, fretting over covers, getting blurbs, reviews, interviews, all sorts of things I didn't see coming when all I was worried about was getting published.
But guess what, they're all good problems to have. And if me from last year heard me today bitching about them, he'd probably punch me in the mouth. Same goes for the guy who let his whole day be ruined because he can't see the lake from his penthouse anymore. His "problems" put him in pretty elite company as far as levels of comfort and security go. That's the point of the joke."
See, we're really just helping him out with all of these problems he had. Don't worry, you don't have all that stuff to worry about on spec you failure. We did you a favor!
