The BlaBlaMeter

Amusing...

 

Our fellow TL member Mitsubishi, posted this amusing writing tool on another thread. You may want to try it out... for nothing more than your own amusement...

 

I tested a first draft of an article that I was considering posting here and scored a .32 on the scale. My first drafts are always a bit frothy, but the first edit usually resolves much of that. Not to worry...

 

As a curiosity I dug up some political speech transcripts that were posted on the web. Most scored +.30 on the scale (no surprise there).

 

I then dug up some lengthy emails of mine addressed to close friends or family. I scored sub .05 on all of those.

 

Further, I tested some recent TL posts of mine and scored in the range of .09 to .16

 

So, gathering from the test results, I don't "bullshit" friends and family, but I do "bullshit" others somewhat. BTW for what it's worth, this post scored .08

It gets even better from my own personal perspective...

 

About 8 months ago I received an email from a woman that I went to high school with. She was a couple of years older than me (still is actually... go figure), and I must admit to having had "a thing" for her back then. The logistics behind why she decided to look me up are not necessary to understand my amusement...

 

I had to rummage through some archived files to find our correspondence, but I did eventually, and I ran the BlaBlaMeter on what I had written, and then the same for what she had written. Funny... we both scored above .20 (her:.24... me: .28)

 

Ha!!! OMG... I'm fucking human.

And the winner is Mitsubishi with a score of (.42), nice work man... and the crickets played on...

 

The problem with (for) vendors on TL is that the traffic here has slowed to a crawl. I suppose there is a straggler noob that stumbles in once in a while. I think the site is running on autopilot.

 

As an example: I have dropped the motherfucking unabridged f-bomb with some frequency over the past month. I should have been banned weeks ago. No moderators?

 

And another: I haven't had instant email notification since March of this year. Sent two requests to the webmaster seeking resolution to the problem... nothing (my language was cordial).

 

And the crickets played on...

I have distrust of this type of offers
