Yelp

Do you like Yelp?  I LOVE Yelp.  And I use it for everything.

Sure, I’ve used it to check out restaurants.  But I’ve also used it to vet everything from movie theaters to funeral homes.

I really rely on the Yelpers’ unbiased comments, telling photographs and good directions.

I would be lost without it.

Literally.

But sometimes I think that it would be cool if we could check people out on it.  You know, like for dating?

Wouldn’t it save a lot of time, energy and heartbreak if we could read candid and accurate reviews of what people are really like so we could make up on minds in advance whether to date them- or marry them?

Well, in that spirit of transparency, I have decided to write a Yelp review of myself.

Here’s what you’d find if you Yelp “Ellen Ross.”

I have to be honest here. I can’t write a rave. I’ve known Ellen since she was fourteen and she did NOT get better with age. She’s bossy, demanding and although she has a certain allure, the price tag is definitely not worth it. Very forgettable. Skip this.

I have to give her one star because she was great with the dogs. Not that great with me, though. She hated beautiful Baltimore and complained all the time that she couldn’t get a good burger, pizza or hot dog. Pass this one by.

While I can’t go nuts here, I can’t complain. I always had a pretty good time with Ellen. Lousy skier, though.

Come on! She was old enough to be my mother. I was on meth at the time. Way past her expiration date. Do yourself a favor. Find a hot young chick.

  1. This is brilliant and hilarious!
    I give you a 5 star review for friendship, loyalty, and love. Constantly entertaining, witty,
    and a world-class brainiac!
    Truly a one-of-a-kind!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

      The proprietor thanks you for your generous review. This entitles you to limitless free visits and one dirty martini on the house.

    I don’t understand all the negative reviews here. I’ve been coming here for almost 2 years now and have had nothing but good times. I do agree with previous reviewers regarding her being sometimes bossy and demanding, and always complaining about being unable to find a good pizza but I do think her positive attributes far outweigh the negatives. She is definitely good with dogs.
    I would highly recommend giving her a try if you can afford the $$$$, don’t mind being mentally challenged nor having to see crossword puzzles continuosly. I think she’s like a fine wine, getting better with age, but I also understand reservations are near impossible to land in the foreseeable future

      The proprietor thanks you for this (surprisingly) postive review. As a “thank you” you will be receiving chocolate chip cookies 🍪 for a year and a complimentary case of Old Style. Cheers! 🍻

    In honor of Thanksgiving, I give her a 3 turkey rating.

    She is a good looking but somewhat pathetic character. Don’t rely on her for dating advice. Apparently can pick a ripe cantaloupe better than a life partner. Still looking for Mr. Right. Jury is still out on TBF.

    With her alcoholic drinking proclivities she is better suited for living in Utah. On the positive side, the restaurant tab is cheaper.

    Writes a very entertaining blog, but oy vey, only if you can understand French, Italian and other foreign words and phrases. Capisci? Tu comprendes? Comprehend-vous?

    Has cute grandkids, but they are doomed to be part of her blog for as long as she writes.

    Would have given her 🦃🦃🦃🦃 but vetting funeral homes through Yelp…really?

    • Ellen Ross says:

      The proprietor thanks for this 🦃🦃🦃review. Very informative and accurate. And as as “Thank You” you get a shrimp de jonghe on the house and an Ojibwa clap clap clap clap.

  4. David Brode says:

    One of the lingering threats of technology is the eventual demise of great writing like yours. Really, which I-Phone edition could turn Yelp into an hysterical tableau?

    • Ellen Ross says:

      The proprietor thanks you for the use of the word “hysterical” and you will receive two complimentary tickets to “Guys and Dolls” and a bottle of Dom Perignon.
