Dear askbrowning,

Do you just make up all these questions or are real people actually writing to you?

Sincerely,

askbrowning

Well askbrowning, I am actually just "making them up" as you call it. But I'm not fooled by your spin words "making it up." Wasn't E.T. just "made up?" But that didn't stop me from crying real tears every time that cute little alien muttered the words, "E.T. go home." And "green means go, red means stop" is really just some made up idea? But the organization of our traffic depends on it! And what has come to be known as "Global Warming" is really just "made up," but it gives Al Gore a job and keeps the auto industry alive by guilting people into buying overpriced hybrids.

My point is that just because something is "made up," that doesn't mean that it doesn't have real value. Like when that one guy made up that whole book (A Million Little Pieces) and then told Oprah that it was all true. Sure Oprah had him back on the show to yell at him, but that's missing the point. He got to be on Oprah's show TWICE and he made some serious coin off that book... just because he "made something up." So let that be a lesson to you, when we made things up everyone wins. Except Oprah... she gets pissed.

Sincerely,

askbrowning
