Writing stories is more up my alley. I've actually had moderate success with that in the past....some crazy good breaks and some really shitty ones.
Roasting isn't my thing, but I do think some things did get lost in the verbiage on this one...which is fine, it's my "shtick," I guess. And the "H words" at the end...I don't care if anyone liked them or not, I straight up had fun coming up with them. Therefore it wasn't a bad dealio for me...I had fun.

Don't try to compete with Saul Good, he's a master. Just try to post something that everyone will read with one or two decent jokes in it. You might think about asking seclark to help you edit it.
2. Saul Good's roasts can't be touched, but I like the way others are giving it a go.
3. I was away this afternoon working on a rico-length indictment of Phobia for capricious acts of moderation based on personal bias, but when I got back I found that he's already made the case for me. TL;DR=Thanks Phobia.

Meh, I'm not discouraged. Definitely not trying to compete with Saul Good. He's got his own style going on, and it's working...type of stuff that no one, but Saul Good can come up with. It's unique, original and very creative...I've never really read/witnessed anyone with his exact style of generating humor, which is a huge compliment.
