This is hilarious, and I want to see the letters that don't get sent to applicants when you're on the undergrad admissions committee. My god, all those personal statements...
how i can gracefully write or decline to write a review for a book a good friend gave me that is entirely unreadable due to excessive over intellectualizing and a cleverly combative style targeting the very people it's intended to reach architects
thought maybe someone out there in academiana might have some insight

Apparently what I was thinking of is known as a spider trap. How odd.

I'm not going to bother clicking the link to your blog Rohn, but I'm pretty sure it sucks.
Welcome.
(And though the question wasn't directed to me, I'd decline the book and cite lack of time...)

The "true blogger community" uses punctuation.

My unmentioned Rohn,
As long as you are funny you'll be okay.

Ah, Rohn is in his cummings phase.
