Journal bethanie's Journal: Amazon thinks I NEED this book 13

Journal by bethanie
So I've been listing a whole buttload of books, vinyl LPs, DVDs, etc. on Amazon Marketplace to try to sell them before I leave my mom's house. Hopefully, I'll make her a bit of walking around money, and decrease the unwanted clutter around here.

In any case, as I search for the various titles that I'm interested in listing, I swear to GOD that this book comes up on EVERY. Fucking. Search.

I'm thinking that somebody at Amazon knows something.

    Now, I mostly focus on one on one tutorials.
  • "First Sentence: Take a woman who enjoys skilled c* and put her lover's face between her legs, and you might as well have put a scoop of ice cream on a hot griddle."

    Uh...ice cream on a hot griddle is supposed to be a good thing?

    * Bethanie didn't spell the word out, so I won't either, but I have to quote that stupid sentence somehow.

    • So if I write the word cunnilingus, does that mean everyone else has to, too?

      Would you be more comfortable with a euphemism? How about Barking at the ape? Bikini burger? Bird-washing? Bite the dog-end? Blow some tunes? Boating? Box lunch at the Y? Brush one's teeth? Bush dinner? Canyon yodeling? Carpet munching? Chew the she-fat? Chow box? Chow down on Georgia O'Keefe's inspiration? Clam dive? Clam diving? Clam lapping? Connie Lingus? Cunning linguistics? Dine at the Y? Dinner beneath the bridge? Dip the

      In MLA or APA it is suggested to use brackets [ ] to identify changes you have made to borrowed text. For example...

      "Take a woman who enjoys skilled [c*] and put her lover's face between her legs, and you might as well have put a scoop of ice cream on a hot griddle" (Blue).

      Not trying to be an asshole, I actually thought you might like this tid-bit *smile*.
  • I don't understand Amazon's recommendation system. For the longest time, the AFDB book's [amazon.com] recommendations list said "People who wear clothes were also interested in..." and had items listed like "clean socks" (actual title, I guess they were worried you'd think you were getting some kid's stinky gym remnants).

    And gone is the recommendation that you buy a six-pack of heavy-duty tinfoil with the book.

    They really seem to like recommending books I already have - even books that I bought through them.
