BAD ADVICE

GET IT WHILE IT'S STEAMING

What do you call it when you troll yourself?  I think I'll ask Dear Abby.

I included her response in today's edition, because it was so fucking funny and self defeating.  Her answer is in bold, mine is in italics.

DEAR CRABBY: After breakfast on Saturdays, my husband and I settle in, listen to music and read the newspaper. It's our Saturday morning ritual.

As part of it, when I get to your column, I read it out loud to my husband. We enjoy the letters and your advice. When I finish, my husband almost invariably says, "You know, those letters are made up."

Abby, I think they are real, albeit edited, but genuine. He thinks they're fake. Who's right? -- TRUE BELIEVER IN MICHIGAN

DEAR TRUE BELIEVER: You are. I could never make up anything as interesting as the mail that arrives from my readers day after day.

Dear Believer,
Thanks for writing yourself Abby.  Really believable.  Why would you post a letter like that, aside from trying to make yourself seem more honest?  This seems like the actions of a con artist
.  Fake or not, just publish the letters.  "Answering" this letter doesn't validate you.

    Judas' Advice Column

    This is where I take a Dear Abby column, and add my own brand of advice.  I started by calling it Dear Crabby, but that's taken and JERKASS seems more fun.
    I often take the stance against the letter writer since usually they are complaining about someone who can't defend themselves.
