He has a publisher...?

"Publisher" in the sense of "Some guy who accepted the manuscript for publication because Sweet's face seemed honest and reliable". Er, make that "Some guy who accepted the manuscript for publication because Sweet has a face".

...it's not exactly a vanity press, but I get the vibe that not everything is 100% right in their end.
 
Okay, I'm glad you guys said something, because that whole bit about letting his dog roam stood out to me too, but I'm not a pet person and didn't want to offend anyone. Having said that, what intelligent adult lets their dog do that? I don't recall where I read it, but didn't Sweet once say that the reason offered by one of the two guys beating him up that one time was that the Sweet family dog had chased him? Sheesh!

Oh, and the whole "we think he was returning home from visiting a girlfriend he had across the way" thing - uh, I hope he was neutered, Jon, or else your family was contributing to the overpopulation of stray animals in the neighborhood. Not that Jon would care, of course. This was a guy who when on record saying he watches his cat crap in his neighbors' yard. There's a reason nobody likes him.

It's pretty clear, unless other evidence is presented, that neither Jon, nor anyone in the Sweet household, deserve the privilege of owning pets.

Oh, and finally, to @NobleGreyHorse 's point:

Yeah, agreed. Minimal resemblance at best.

"So I literally put him out on the curb for the trash collectors to pick up, like a sack of garbage."

I don't think he even believes in neutering considering he got mad at the idea that a dog park (in Georgia) enforced a rule where your dog has to be neutered and blamed progressives for that.

Because rich Republicans are totally okay with trailer trash garbage like Sweet's dogs running around loose fucking their purebred poodles.

More similarities between CWC and Sweet "fartknockery":

- Both Sweet and CWC seem to have serious prosopagnosia issues.
- Both Sweet and CWC don't take care of pets well.

But Chris is still better because I know for a fact Chris would not die of starvation without his mom. At least so long as he had money. Jonny on the other hand... I don't see him lasting the week in that case.

I placed him in an old Styrofoam cooler and wheeled the grim improvised coffin out back, setting it amongst the overgrown brush, thorns, and yard waste. The trashman later picked him up, cooler and all, and spirited him away. A good thing; I just wouldn't have had the heart to place my friend on the trash pile and burn him like so much offal.

Nice going, Jon. You nasty, brutal fucker. Your apparently beloved companion is killed (through your own negligence, mind you) and what do you do? Toss the body into the rubbish to be sent for landfill. You couldn't even bury the poor dog yourself or arrange to have it cremated and then perhaps buried the remains with some dignity. People who care for their pets do this sort of thing, Jon. They don't toss their pet's body amongst "the overgrown brush, thorns, and yard waste" to rot away until the trashman comes to see to their responsibility. No, they do the right thing. Honestly, the idiocy is very strong with you, so very strong: "I just wouldn't have had the heart to place my friend on the trash pile", but you did just that anyway. What a douche!

I have no sympathy for him losing his dog. Letting your dog roam free is irresponsible. My dog is kept in the backyard where she's safe, and if she's outside of there, she's on a leash that I'm firmly holding. She's 10, and I expect her to make it to 15.

I have to say that I am of the same position. Where I am from such a position is even backed up by Council law. It is illegal to have pets roam free and (as I suspect is the case with Sweetums) unregistered.

That's what really kills me about this entry - he doesn't even realize how utterly witless he sounds by describing the garbage men picking up his dog's discarded carcass and then, in the next breath, moaning about how he just wouldn't have been able to stand burning the body on his family's trash heap. Every time I think Jon can't make himself look more stupid, backwards, and heartless, he astounds me by digging that hole a little deeper.

...speaking of which, what do you want to bet that he didn't bother to bury the dog because that would have involved manual labor he couldn't be arsed to do?
 
I can't deal with the not burying the dog thing, because fucking cave people buried their pets and Sweetums hasn't reached even that level of civilization.

Holy fucking shitcakes.

So a lot of that stuff is public domain stuff that that guy is just copypasting and getting printed by Lulu for $9 and then selling for $18.

But did anyone else notice that 100% of the authors are dudes? I mean, that is fucking crazyballs. You couldn't assemble a random list of 50 books in the most disproportionately male field---say, mining engineering---and have 0 female writers represented. This guy has an all-dude fiction list, which has to have taken actual work to assemble.

Speaking of the law I am not sure about what things are like where Sweet lives but where I am from if you can't afford cremation you are supposed to contact the landfill for them to come pick it up. Just dumping a dead animal will get you a few hundred bucks worth of a fine if you are found out.

I don't know if anything Sweet posted on the internet has ever made him look better.

[something about no one telling someone something]
 
To be fair, that dog probably did have more girlfriends than Sweet.

Never really investigated what this outfit is about, but yeah, this is clearly a reputable printing house.

"So let me get this straight. You take these manuscripts from the authors, and then hand them off to Lulu..."
"Well - look. I already told you: I deal with the goddamn authors so the typesetters and printers don't have to. I have people skills; I am good at dealing with authors. Can't you understand that?"
(Dad's army jacket is Sweet's equivalent of the red Swingline, probably)

Yep, just another part of the general deranged feel of that operation. And then there's the random incoherency of the whole page. "Ok, as a customer, how do I order books? What are the genres and general styles of books this publisher does? What are the submission guidelines, or do they deal with agents, and if so, how exactly?" ...*15 minutes of clicking*... "...dude, I don't get it."

And it also vaguely pisses me off that they are apparently the rights holder to the Lodestar disk magazine. Rational people would go "hey, it's software conservancy time, the guy should totally call Jason Scott and get this shit on archive.org and reap all the nerd karma he can get". ...lolnope, selling CD-ROMs off of dodgy web sites is apparently a thing nowadays, and not at all what people tried to do unsuccessfully 15 years ago.
(...wait, someone already uploaded most of this to the Arnold archive back in 1997 or so, so I can imagine how this guy's business is going. har. EDIT: What if it's the other way? What if the disk images the guy is selling actually come from Arnold? Detective project time)

And the less we say about the venerated head of the operation doing a creepy "Bob" Dobbs impression, the better.

[/offtopic muttering about tangentially related weirdos]
 
I remember Sweet saying he has a bunch of cats too.

I heard of this one family that had a zoo of all kinds of pets. There was a lingering stench in the house after they moved out -- even though the house was maintained well.

Imagine the stench in the Lair Of The Mold Kingdom.
