Sommelier Says: “Dan”
In a recent comment thread about anonymous comments, one “Dan” (his quotes) says, of HTMLGIANT:
Every one on this websites is assholes and gives Tao Lin handjobs and is “rich middle class kids” and doesnt now shit about good writing if it punched them.111 you guys also are incestuous and publish only your friends’ writing regardless of merit 11111!!11
Sommelier Says: We suspect either English is not Dan’s first language, or he was on the receiving end of some type of job while composing this comment. Coming off strong with “assholes,” one is reminded of the straight-forward Cabernet; soon he offers supple textures with a descriptive narrative of manual relief, followed by a cultural indictment of an abstract group of people (never mind the “rich middle-class” oxymoron). At first, I thought Dan meant that “a hundred and eleven” of us were incestuous (pretty ample gene pool, what you talking about?) but realized the “111” were simply rushed exclamation points sans the shift key — must be his quivering colon. Dan’s post-laxative rant reeks of prune juice as he makes a mad rush to the toilet. And you thought purple rain was an album.
Oh…this one yanked my funny bone pret-ty hard1111
Props on the PR, Jimmy.

I think Dan’s comment was a parody in the first place.

i like “rich middle class” as a descriptive. What does that even mean? Grow some fucking Marxism, Dan. If you’re going to go the uninformed class-indictment route, at least be clear about who it is we’re hanging with the guts of the last priest, etc.

“Grow some fucking Marxism, Dan.” may be the best thing I’ve ever heard. I’m going to start saying this to people every day

I notice that ‘Dan’, the original commenter’, is not only obsessed with class, but he’s also hung up on incest.
Must be British. Welsh, probably. In fact, I think I saw him getting married to his sister last week.
If anyone wants a lecture on the class system, come to London. I’ll drop you off in the depths of Tower Hamlets and pick you up again (if you get out alive) when you get to St Johns Wood.

“Perhaps you should change the name of the site to Performing Fellatio on Tao Lin”
“upper-middle class white guys with coddled lives talking about meaningless bullshit”
“You are all good at publicity and the circle jerk of self-promotion”

Anti-Welsh sentiment once again rears its ugly head at htmlgiant. Jesus. And with a name like “Vaughan”, too. I think somebody’s a self-hating taffy…

Craig – “once again?” I’ve seen many favourite topics on HTMLGIANT, but I must confess the stream of anti-Welsh sentiment passed me by. I’ll go back and read the archives.
Also. I’m called Vaughan after a dead Welsh biker friend of my father’s. Nothing to do with me.
Also. I like Dylan Thomas. Though I don’t know him personally.
P.S. There’ll be a welcome in the hillside.

Hey, My mother’s family was Welsh, and while we may be drunks we tend to be quite creative and interesting
I knew Dylan Thomas. I got pissed with Dylan Thomas. You, sir, are no Dylan Thomas !

so how come this sommelier says doesn’t get such a great response like the last one?
i mean where is catherine et al with their smug comments?
i guess they don’t know dan well enough to be passive aggressive towards him.
