"Better than Cosmo! Others just recite facts, but I like your posts best because of the in-depth analysis."
"Great work! Your stuff is a sight for sore eyes in this wash of dumbed down crap for the masses I see all the time on the internet."
"Greg is a dapper gent, intelligent, and easy to hang with. He made me feel right at home in his film noir-esque lair. We talked at great length about books, influences (we both write), and on a broad range of topics that might cause one to raise an eye brow while pondering. He was great fun to roam the city with. I'm looking forward to another round of pursuing art exhibits and deep dialog over late night coffees the next time we cross paths."
"Greg! Thank you so much! I will not forget this! Your help will make it easier for me to secure a job when I get back home from Switzerland!"
"Dude I hate to write you about this again but those nutrition tips you sent me were a fucking godsend. Anyway, I do appreciate ya... you're a good egg."
"Dear Mr. Greg: You are creative and amusing... two things I find irresistible. If I didn't live so far away, I'd go after you myself! Thanks for all the laughs."
"Hey thanks for all the stuff on girls and relationships. I was up reading last night for like 3 hours. We had an earthquake not too long ago here in California, but man, some of the stuff you wrote shook me more than the quake!"
"I have to say, you provided several hours of entertainment for me just now. It is a great thing to know there are other people with similarly twisted senses of humor and intelligence. Thank you very much Greg Thompson, and good luck with the woman of your dreams. Should you ever feel the need to entertain me again, please feel free to do so, I'll take it any way I can get it."Humor

Because then I’d have dozens and dozens to share with you here on my site. Instead, I only have this small collection from 4 different people. It starts off with a taste of [...]
21 of My Favorite Spam E-mail Subject Lines
Sunday, December 21st, 2008I get around 400 e-mail messages per day. Out of that 400, about 310 of them are spam. And since spam filters aren’t perfect, I do spend a little time each day making sure none of my REAL messages end up among all the garbage… wouldn’t want that inheritance check notification from granny flushed down [...]
Jeff Paul Teleseminar Call Gone Horribly Wrong
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008Have you ever been on one of those teleseminars where they pitch you something? I have. A shitload of ‘em. And I love it. Why? Because recording successful teleconferences by well-known pseudo-celebrity marketers is a great way to discover new appeals, offers, and selling strategies that’d otherwise fly under the radar, completely unnoticed. As a [...]
An Open Letter To Starbucks
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008Dear Starbucks, Hey, is there anywhere to get a decent cup of coffee around here? Oh, come on. Don’t look so sad. When we’re in the mood for a twenty-four-ounce cup of pumpkin-pie-flavored Cool Whip, a Feist CD covered in mocha fingerprints, a possibly exaggerated memoir by a former child soldier, and some customer “service” [...]
A Tribute To Dumb Stock Photography
