the supernicety

About what “stuff” do you write?

Well, that kind of depends… the supernicety contains posts from authors with a variety of backgrounds and interests. Originally we two originals set up the blog with the tagline “music. law. technology.” because those three things were kind of our focus. But it turns out that we’re into politics, and cars, and reading books and a million other things about which we have written, and then we started inviting other authors and things got even more diverse. Of course, we’ve gone through periods of high and low activity and varying levels of seriousness and quality but at the end of the day, it’s reflective of us, and that’s what we wanted it for in the first place.

Hopefully there’s some stuff worth reading here. We think so, or we wouldn’t've put it online.

Well, what it is, is simple. It’s a place for us to post lyrics we like from songs we probably like (even if we’re ashamed to admit it). It used to pull a quote at random from a large list we compiled, but we can’t do that anymore due to being hosted on wordpress.com now. It makes us kind of sad, but we’ll try to update it often. As for the name, like a lot of stuff, it’s just a phrase that came up while we were chatting online and we thought sounded pretty funny. You can read into it if you like, but not too literally… the lyrics will usually not be either bullshit or emo.

Yeah, yeah, no imagination, I guess. Anyway, it’s movie quotes. Probably mostly movies of the humorously bad kind, because they’re entertaining without requiring thought and at least one of us really enjoys that a lot of the time.

Well first, thanks for the constructive criticism, jerk face. Second, yeah, sure… they run off of twitter, so you can just follow @newbullshitemo and/or @newBShollywood and you’ll get ‘em when we post ‘em.

Well, let’s face it, the world ain’t perfect. Lots of people are pretty terrible and a good percentage of the rest are not especially bright. In truth, we’re all a lot happier than some of our diatribes might imply… it’s just that writing about how awesome shit is seems like wanking. Plus if we’re out being happy and doing awesome stuff, we’re probably not in front of the computer. Anger is motivating…. happiness makes you want to just sit around and enjoy it.

Um, ok. Sorry.

Not really. We’re adults. You may or may not be (if you’re not, ask your mom to buy NetNanny or something) but it’s kind of immaterial… we try not to be gratuitous, but we’ll use whatever language conveys what we wish.

For a variety of reasons we’re not especially keen to make that obvious. We’re not really trying to hide, but prefer to minimize our Google profile where we can. Chances are you can find out without a ton of effort. Of course, if you have a legitimate reason to talk with one of us, we’ll certainly respond to emails sent to admin AT thesupernicety.com (assuming they don’t get flagged as spam or something).

We basically agree but, again, the world’s an imperfect place. If you write to us we’ll probably write back and then we won’t be anonymous (to you) any more. Deal?

Hey, thanks… that’s really quite nice of you to say!

Quite possibly. Send an email to admin AT thesupernicety.com and we’ll write back directly. It’d be a heck of a lot of help if you include the url of the article (or if it’s a lot of them, a couple of key ones) that you’re especially impressed by. Any post with an author of “supernicety” might have been written by any of the half dozen or so people that have posted here, so we’d like to make sure you get in touch with the right person or people.

And, gosh, thanks again for the props.
