Confronted by Richard Marx

Google "Richard Marx Fountain of Health." The guy is absolutely shameless. Seems fairly self-aware, though.

 

Hilarious.

"Mike Damone's a little prick!"

 

It was cheap. It was a story written hoping to get another blow up from Marx, so the guy could write another story.

 

So who gives a shit if he's a wuss? Has that any relevance to whether his story is well written or a good read? At least he was honest enough to depict himself as a wuss.

I'm a bit surprised by the backlash here. I thought this piece was good writing and an entertaining little tale.

 

Me too ...

 

It was entertaining, but didn't need the little flourishes, the snotty one-liners about Richard Marx. They came off really flimsy considering what actually happened in the face-to-face encounter.

Dude should have played it straighter. Story is good enough without his attempts to be funny.

 

I thought it was entertaining and kind of fun.

My only complaint is it assumes that the readers all believe that Richard Marx is the easy listening equivalent of a Podunk Press hack.

To be honest, I cannot get a Richard Marx song to spool up in my head. That may be a good thing.

 

Nice to meet you, Mr. McClelland

 

I thought it was pretty damn funny. If anything, I thought the writer was self-deprecating. Clearly he's a wuss. Clearly Richard Marx is a cartoon character. This was, to me anyway, just the intersection of these very strange paths.

Granted, one of my weaknesses is absolute randomness as humor, but I saw it as funny and that's about where it ended.

 

The attitude dictates that you don't care whether she comes, stays, lays, or prays. I mean whatever happens, your toes are still tappin'. Now when you got that, then you have the attitude.

 

Today's kids would say, "What the hell is a Fotomat?"
