Be advised all you smug doubters, I've been asked to join a selective
group of associate editors for an established cook book publisher,
reviewing their most recent publications and advising them on important
matters regarding recipes, layout, etc. I did not solicit this honor;
they obviously heard about me from other sources.

Moreover, if I review and like a particular cook book, they want my
editorial comments and a check for $29.95 for handling purposes AND I
can keep the cook book.

Neither of my parents thought I'd ever amount to anything; it's too bad
they're not both alive to enjoy this prestigeous honor. And in the
light of my recent success I'd appreciate fewer pejorative comments to
my postings in this newsgroup.

Thank you.

P.S. If you'd like my expert opinion on any of your recipes, I'll be
happy to oblige. Just let me know where to send the comments and the
check.

Wow, that's an impressive honor. Can we still refer to you as Stark or
is it Lord/Lady Stark now? When's the official ceremony? Are there
medals and a tiara involved?

You lucky (OB food) duck!

Seems like a plan to me! No? We can get in on this action.

Cantcha read, she said $29.95... in fact all she's gotta do is send the
check, not bother with her fercocktah opinions.

I'm so proud to know you! Can I have your autograph? I'll only

Yup, this is definitely a knee-slapper. This, uh, "associate editor"
position sounds more like some scam publisher's Cookbook of the Month
club. C'mon, he's got to return the cookbooks (along with his
highly-valued opinions, of course) or he'll be charged $30? Yeah,
*that's* the way editors work.
