LITERARY AGENT SUES THE INTERNET FOR BEING MEAN TO HER. NEWS AT 11.
It all started with a list - a list of questionable literary agencies and agents. Unfortunately, someone named Barbara Bauer was on this list. This made her very, very, very, very unhappy. (So unhappy, in fact, she demanded A BILLION DOLLARS from several bloggers for her pain and suffering.) Why, oh why won't they fork over the dough? And why are they laughing? What's a poor, maligned literary agent to do? SUE WIKIPEDIA AND THE BLOGOSPHERE!, that's what. Hmmph. That'll show 'em!


Oops...DISMISSED! Wikipedia, you bastard!

(SRS BZNS ETA: I've received some additional info about the court cases that are still pending, which can be found here)

I actually think she's got a few screws loose. In the upstairs workings. You know, a taco short of a combination plate? Both oars not in the water? A few eggs away from a henhouse?

Elevator doesn't go all the way to the top story? A few sandwiches short of a picnic? A member of the "differently realitied" community?

Hmmm, I'm not quite getting what you're sayin' here...

Do you mean she's mad as a monkey on a trike? An olive short of a pizza? If you stand close enough to her, you can hear the ocean?

Couple beers short of a six-pack, an OVA short of a series, not playing with a full deck...

She fell out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down?
So dense that light bends around her?
Has a one-way ticket on the Disoriented Express?

The twinkle in her eyes is actually the sun shining through her ears? She suffers from Clue Deficit Disorder? Smart as an ashtray on a motorcycle?

There's a song, actually...

The lights are on but nobody's home
my elevator doesn't go to the top
I'm not playing with a full deck
I've lost my marbles

and

I'm a few bricks short of a load,
but a full load always hurt my back.
I flew over the cuckoo's nest and
I'm never ever coming back because
I am crazy just like you
I am crazy just like you.
I am crazy.
- Crazy by The Barenaked Ladies

Bah, Queen did it just as good:

I'm one card short of a full deck
I'm not quite the shilling
One wave short of a shipwreck
I'm not at my usual top billing
I'm coming down with a fever
I'm really out to sea
This kettle is boiling over
I think I'm a banana tree
Oh dear, I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened, happened
It finally happened uh huh
It finally happened I'm slightly mad - oh dear!

A few thousand words short of a novel?

A few details short of a query letter?

One book short of a trilogy?

She's pretty clearly got a couple of 'roos loose in the top paddock, I agree.
