Mailvox: the answer is obvious
Vile Faceless Minion #141 alerts us to this amusing entry at Engadget:
After all, who doesn't want to read a book by someone with 2 MILLION MONTHLY PAGEVIEWS!
Self-promotion advice with John Scalzi!The answer, as everyone who has read SJWAL knows, is easy: lie about your blog traffic.
#DearVeronica ,In this tech age, how should a novice novelist make an impression and promote his book to grab attention of a lot of people?

John Scalzi, author of some of my favorite books, is here to help Rajat out!

Self-promotion advice from a bonafide charlatan! Dude should be a Coen brothers character.
I always picture McRapey as the "These boys is not white! These boys is not white! Hell, they ain't even old-timey." guy from O Brother. Yes, the busybody scammer who gets literally ridden out of town on a rail.
Scalzi is the poster child for disturbed Gamma male. His antics are amusing in a gallows humor sort of way.
Yo johnny, don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.
Yeah, two million page views. That's the ticket. It's the pictures of my wife, Morgan Fairchild (whom I've seen naked) that brings in the page views.
Vox, did you want to discuss your declining numbers? JS can at least point to twitter...

Scalzi cracked one million once. He gets half that now.
2 million? Ha, that's nothing. My blog gets 2 zillion page-views. A day!
Is the April bump from Sad/Rabid Puppies?

The new math is hard.

That's nothing you should have seen Obama's numbers from when he laid on his belly in the Chicago Gay Bathhouses.
It would seem from that black and white picture at Engadget that if Scaldlipzi had a thick little mustache just under his nose he might resemble a very ugly mons veneris or a more than somewhat hitlerian archtype ... Auchtang!
If the Fuhrer had a website ...
Just saying ...
Ow! I think I burnt my imagination with that one. Dang! That's gonna leave a mark.
Off topic: Sweden closes borders to refugees. "No mas." The political subvocalisation seems to be that it's a short term temporary thing though.

Scalzi; Destroyer of Tor's bottom (line that is)
OT - Thanks to all the Ilk veterans, even though I'm not 100% sure which side was right anymore...

ach du lieber Himmel! What the hell happened to Veronica Belmont? I used to love watching her and Patrick Norton on Tekzilla, she was a doll, and a lot of fun to boot! Now she has that whole feminist look about her, I had to look up her profile just to make sure it was the same person. Gentlemen, don't let your daughters do this to themselves.
But Vox, how should I make an impression and promote my book to grab attention of a lot of people?
And are you ever going to get around to your Castalia backlog? We've been waiting on those novels here.
What else did he do besides that?
Did Instapundit make that big a difference?
Admittedly he isn't doing all that much better than any mid lister, now that I think of it.
He has gotten a couple of Hollywood things chucked his way but none of those are exactly, The Martian.
BigGaySteve, you're crossing the line again.
BigGaySteve, you're crossing the line again.
How dare you microagression him! Check your privilege you homophobic cis-het!
Is the April bump from Sad/Rabid Puppies?
Yes.
Scalzi makes me think there is a part of the Bible missing. Something about slapping a little bitch like him twice.
He needs the numbers now more than ever since he has that contract.
BigGaySteve, you're crossing the line again.
Sorry I would have made a 6 million joke but I recently realized I might have some Jewish genes.
I realized when I stopped by a McDonalds today to pick up a free big mac veterans day offer.
Bz said: "Sweden closes borders to refugees."
This is not accurate. They are instituting border checkpoints, but will still accept asylum seekers. The change is just that the asylum application now has to be filed at the border. They still let them in.
It seems Scalzi isn't the only one lying this Veteran's Day:

Whoops. Try this image instead:

Thanks for the correction; I overstated the case regarding Sweden, but it's still quite a change from yesterday. Will be interesting to see how it works out.
