  1. No place to hang out our washing…

  2. fuzz on the concept says:

    Here I am! / Stuck here like a Hurricane.

  3. Avis says:

    How embarrassing!

    • Typical of the state of NC. That state can’t build anything right. Sheesh!

      • Brewski says:

        A little crack can get you in trouble.

        • arimareiji says:

          Amen. Much more of a design fail for the Plexiglas panels, if that’s not just splitting hairs.

        • Marius says:

          Hee! Two minutes for hooking.

        • ♀ Lurid (testing name suggestions) says:

          I’m usually in trouble by the crack of dawn.

          • Ms B ♥ says:

            You sure do crack me up!

            • Avis says:

              I guess that “wall” wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.

              • Ms B ♥ says:

                At least with that uniform he doesn’t have to worry about plumber’s crack

              • Brewski says:

                At least the glass didn’t crack. Some crack-smoking ill-tempered glass workers make faulty glass.

                • Dragonwriter says:

                  Someone told him he needs to get cracking in his game and he misunderstood.

                  • trumpogurl says:

                    Ok, ok…enough with the wisecracks… :-)

                    • Dragonwriter says:

                      *steps on a crack*
                      *gets a hockey player hung up by the back*

                      • SuzieQ says:

                        By the back? With a tack? I would not, could not, step on a crack!!

                        • Brewski says:

                          That made me crack a smile, SeussyQ.
                          *squeeze*

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          Too bad the hockey player didn’t have some Cracker Jacks…he could have used them to pry the panels apart.

                        • Judy says:

                          Hey, Admiral. Just got on. Didn’t have a great day at work. Nice to see a familiar face on here.

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          Awww. *squeeze* I’m sorry to hear it, sweets.

                        • nightshayde says:

                          Awww. Sorry you had a bad day, Judy. :sad:

                          *squeeze*

                        • Judy says:

                          Thanks, you guys! *squeeze* That helps.
                          *tears well up*

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          Judy! Sorry to hear about your bad day.

                          *squeeze squeeze squeeze!*

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          It sounds like you need this more than me…

                          *ties a helium balloon to Judy’s wrist*

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          Yes, you have real friends here Judy. We promise.

                          *long, tight hug*

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          *ties more helium balloons to Judy’s spirits and heart*

                        • Judy says:

                          Aw, you guys! Now I’m really crying!
                          Thanks so much. That means so much to me.

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          *grabs Judy by the feet so she doesn’t float away*
                          *takes her shoes off*
                          *tickle, tickle*

                        • Judy says:

                          Dragon – haven’t been on much today (the “incident” had nothing to do with my on-line activities, but why provide ammunition?) so I never got to see how your first (and second?) day of classes went. Any hopefuls in the group?

                        • Judy says:

                          *sloppily smooches AA’s cheek*
                          *hands him a Shamwow*
                          Thanks, AA!

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          Hee! It went very well, Judy, thanks. The first class seems like it will be quite fun–the students were responsive and there’s one guy in there I’ve already dubbed “the smartass”. They can be a lot of fun to have around…just so long as they are kept in check.

                          And…um…I’m pretty darned good at that. :mrgreen:

                          The second class was a bit more wide-eyed and anxious. They didn’t talk as much, but I’m hoping they’ll loosen up a but once they get to know me a little. But I actually have a pretty good feeling about both classes. You can usually tell right away when a class is just going to be a dud.

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          Judy, this will be of little consolation, but I haven’t been on the blog much lately, either. Off-blog reality can really intrude sometimes. Allow me to commiserate.

                        • Judy says:

                          I’m encouraged by your “wide-eyed” class. They sound interested and inquisitive. You can have a lot of fun with them.

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          So tell me a little about your *VROOOM VROOOOOOM!!!* weekend! Was it everything you had hoped it would be?? Any good stories??

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          Yeah, we want to hear about the race. Do you have your hearing back yet? ;-)

                        • Judy says:

                          Sorry for the delay – race weekend was incredible. We had great weather and a great trip down and back. The scenery going through WV is spectacular! The races were both great (there’s one Friday night and Saturday night). Yes, I’d say the weekend was everything I hoped it would be. Got to see lots of drivers up close – at least closer than I’d ever seen before. We’ve got season tickets for some great seats with the group we know, and I’m already looking forward to next year.

                        • Judy says:

                          Woops! Didn’t answer your question, AA. It’s a half-mile track so, if you didn’t have noise-blocking headphones, you would have trouble. Andy and I have a set of scanner headphones with mikes that connect together, so that when we want to talk, we can just hit a button and talk to each other. It’s pretty cool, akshually.

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          Hee! Cool, Judy. When I’m on the racetrack with an instructor we use a mic/earpiece setup that slips inside the helmet. Even in street cars the noise is too loud to talk to a person in the passenger seat. There’s no button to push to talk, though, for obvious reasons. I’ve never been to a NASCAR race, but I can appreciate how loud it must be in the stands.

                        • Judy says:

                          Totally, AA!
                          Well, must head off to beddy-bye. I really appreciate the encouragement and friendship I have received this evening – it means a lot to me. Perhaps I can check in sometime tomorrow – if not in the daytime, then definitely in the evening!
                          *sleepy squeezes to my failpeeps!*

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          *tucks Judy in*
                          *gives her a goodnight hug*

                          Dragon and I are checking the blog most nights. Sometimes the evening is the only time I get to comment, like today. Even a little bit of your company at night would be appreciated.

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          Absotootly! I’m glad you stopped by, Judy.

                          *gives Judy a blankie and teddy bear, sings a lullaby and turns on the night light*

      • The John Galt says:

        That actually looks like Colorado’s arena. Those are Carolina’s road jerseys in any case.

      • Matt says:

        The game was in Colorado. Typical bad comment.

      • Jeff P says:

        It was in the pepsi center, so it’s coloridians? who can’t build the boards right.

        One of the funniest things I have ever seen watching a game.

      • bizzle says:

        errr… it’s in Colorado

        Comment fail?

    Help me! I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!

  5. bluejade says:

    He was just caught up in the excitment.

  6. kris says:

    is he still there at the beginning of the next play?

  7. zooomz says:

    He IS the next play…..

  8. IncrediblyWittyClown says:

    13th post.

  9. It really took the ref. no effort to free him…. why couldn’t he free himself?

  10. notanengineer says:

    the company which made the trikot will be embarrased…. X-D

  11. *off topic warning*
    Has anyone here ever read ‘Biting the Sun’ by Tanith Lee? It is my favorite book of all time, I’ve read it five or six times over the years and am reading it again now. I’d love to chat with anyone else who may have as well.

    • Avis says:

      I LOVE that book!
      It amuses me that you never find out the protagonists name.
      “Be wary of the sun traveler…”

    • Brewski says:

      I’ve heard of “Biting the wax tadpole”, does that count?
      (clickie)

      • Avis says:

        I think the name of that clickie scares me too much!
        “Biting the Sun” was published in 1976 and still seems to work today. If you didn’t know the publication date, you’d think it was very recent. It’s pretty cool.

        • Brewski says:

          Open question to all you peeps: If you had to name one book, what is your all-time favorite?
          I’d probably say “The Lathe of Heaven” by Ursula K. LeGuin. Beautifully written, riveting, intriguing and very thought-provoking work. It’s about a man who finds that his dreams comes true. Literally.
          A must-read for those that have never seen it.
          I’ll have to look for Biting the Sun.

          • Avis says:

            I don’t think I could pick just one.
            But I keep meaning to read “The Lathe of Heaven”, maybe that should be the next book I get.

          • Blue2thFairy - Never shown publicly says:

            Guardians of the West by David Eddings.

          • Ms B ♥ says:

            Hmmm, that is an excellent question. Like Avis, it’s hard to narrow it down. There are many books that I pick up and re-read countless times, and they just get better, like most of Jane Austen’s books. But I think I’m going with The Princess Bride. Way better than the movie, and the movie’s awesome!

            • ♀ Can't think of a name to test right now says:

              Ooh, I love that book! When he describes the pages and pages of description of hats that the “original” had in it, and then the princess with all the hats turns out to be bald!
              *snorkroffle*

            • czuhc says:

              Pride and Prejudice! Thank you for bringing that back to memory!

          • Starfish says:

            The Stranger by Albert Camus. I was a teenager when I first read it and I have never been the same since. Also, the Cure made a great song about it and I was the only one of my friends that knew what the song was about.

          • Dragonwriter says:

            Ursula K. LeGuin is awesome…good choice!

            This question is so hard, because I have favo(u)rites in so many different genres and throughout so many different phases of my life. When I was a child, it would definitely be “The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles”.

            But now…? I’d probably say Alphabet of Thorn, by Patricia McKillip. She encapsulates my love of language so beautifully in that novel.

            • Brewski says:

              That’s one reason I named “Lathe of Heaven”. It’s a great read for a kid, but you can reread it as an adult and appreciate it on a whole new level. It’s a fun read, but it also really makes you think.
              I’ve never read Patricia McKillip. But I don’t do a lot of reading, to be honest… it’s hard to make the time!
              oh, and…
              *squeeze!!* :D

              • Dragonwriter says:

                Really…? I thought you read a lot! Well, you should definitely check out Patricia McKillip…she’s been my favo(u)rite author since I was just a young dragon. She’s the only writer I know who can make prose sound like poetry.

                (NOT potry!)

                *squeeeeeeeze!*

                • Brewski says:

                  I read a few books, I’m just not a bookworm who reads a book every other day. More like once a month, maybe. I’d like to read more… one easy sacrifice would be fewer movies and more books.

                  • Marius says:

                    *Gathers all of his books around him*
                    Never! I refuse to choose!

                    • The Moomin says:

                      Throw the book at him!

                    • well, I agree! I love my books they are a prized posession for me. they are my little worlds my friends, they know me as well as i know them. for our first Christmas together my boyfrind gave me an antiques dictionary…..sad, but the dictionary is really one of my favorite books

                      • come to think of it, it is the only piece of non-fiction that I like!

                        • Marius says:

                          I’m lucky I found a spouse who love books as much as I do. Every wall in our house has shelves and we still have a ton in the attic and stacked around on tables. We had a war with one of the kitties who loved to scratch at them. Only books were harmed in this war, although I was tempted to de-claw the beast.

                        • that’s awesome, Marius. My boyfriend and I are the same way….. shhh, he’s a writer!!!!! well, forget the shh. He said to me that line from ‘Wonder Boys’: “She was a junkie for the printed word. Lucky for me, I manufactured her drug of choice”

                        • Marius says:

                          Hee! That’s great! I love the days we can sit in our comfy reading chairs and read and read and read . . .

                        • ♀ It's me, I swear says:

                          For some reason my kids think seeing me sitting with a book is their cue to demand my undivided attention. On the other hand, they get mad when I interrupt them when they’re reading. Especially for something as petty as suppertime. :roll:

                        • ♀ It's me, I swear says:

                          *smacks post*
                          Formatting fail!

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          *hugs books*

                          My house looks like a library…I love it!

                        • ZombieApocalypse says:

                          You people are killing me, I can remember far more stories than titles.

                          Non-fiction? That’s easier at least. I think I was in jr. high when I read a book detailing the moments leading up to the event at Three Mile Island (I think it was “creatively” titled “Three Mile Island”). It simply amazed me how a bunch of seemingly little things could add up to something so – big.

                        • Marius says:

                          I live in fear of the Kindle.
                          *Gathers books closer*

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          I have one. It’s much easier on my hands than heavy paper books are…but there’s nothing that can compare to turning pages and smelling the paper, the ink, the binding…

                        • Marius says:

                          Nothing like taking out an old and well worn friend. Seeing every mark you’ve made in it and knowing it has left its marks in you as well.

                          Kindle has a negative connotation for me and my books.

                        • Elsa_Mama says:

                          I love love love my Kindle – it was a lifesaver when my son was in the hospital. I didn’t have top haul poiunds of books and never had to worry about finishing all my books and having nothing to read.

                          My 13 year old daughter was an in differnt reader until I got her a Kindle — now she reads far more.

                        • coyote says:

                          Bibliophile as well. Also a hoarder of the printed word. Old reference books a specialty. The Victorians loved massive books that no one would ever read. Favorite authors of fiction: Patrick O’Brien, Emily Brightwell, Ngaio Marsh and of course Agatha Christie.

                          Electronic “books” in any form are anathema. They aren’t a finished product. Will anyone be able to pick one up in 500 years and read it? Nope.

                        • coyote says:

                          Forgot Philip MacDonald. Shame on me.

                        • Marius says:

                          Hello fellow hoarder.

                        • coyote says:

                          If I ever have to move it is going to be a back breaker. On the plus side of book …er… collecting; if your walls are all book shelf, you never need to paint them.

                        • Marius says:

                          Dusting is a downside.

                        • coyote says:

                          Once worked with someone who was the exact opposite of us Marius. I worked the graveyard shift in security. I would sit in alone in a building and read all night. Loved that job. Every couple of hours this guy would come along to see if I was still breathing. He was shocked that I actually owned a book. He didn’t own any and was dumbfounded that anyone would.

                          Then he saw the title. The Day the Universe Changed. He gave me a squinty eyed look and said, “Er you one of them big bangers?” I kid you not. I told him that I had never had any complaints. Went right past him.

                        • coyote says:

                          Dust just adds character.

                        • Marius says:

                          *Snickers*
                          More for us! One of my many drifter jobs was night security. I loved the chance to sit and read all night. That was the job I made it through War and Peace without flipping past any of the rambling parts in the final quarter of the novel.

                        • Marius says:

                          I have a little too much character.

                        • coyote says:

                          I didn’t say not to dust yourself, just your books.

                        • Marius says:

                          I don’t think I could dust off any of the character I’ve accumulated.

                          This thread reminds me of the saying, “Books reproduce like rabbits, bookshelves reproduce like elephants.” My house is proof.

                          There’s no way I could pick one book. Some that I re-read frequently include The Stainless Steel Rat by Harry Harrison, The Hitchhikers Guide series, Dune, Tara K. Harper’s Wolfwalker series. Oh, and I love The Tao of Pooh.

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          “The Moonstone”! One of the first mysteries and the inspiration for Sayers and Christie. I loves me some Wilkie Collins!

                          Let’s not forget G.K. Chesterton.

                          In a completely different direction there is P.G Wodehouse. I collect old comedy writings too. I’ll bet that you are all surprised no end that I like old jokes.

            • Brewski says:

              PS: since I don’t get through many books, I’m going to jot down notes here so I have some ideas. That’s partly why I asked! I’m tired of reading mediocre books, just because it happened to be the one on the shelf in the airport bookstore.

          • The Moomin says:

            “The Thief of Always” by Clive Barker. I’ve read it at least once a year for the past fifteen years.

            • ‘Night Watch’ by Terry Pratchett, although all his books are brilliant.

              • Admiral Apparent says:

                I’ve read a few of Pratchett’s Discworld books and enjoyed them. They were recommended by a friend who has read every single one of them. I didn’t think they were that good! The books were funny, but Pratchett is not as thought provoking while being funny as say, Douglas Adams (not many authors are).

            • Avis says:

              Oohh, Moomin! That is a good one!
              Ever read “Coldheart Canyon”?

              • The Moomin says:

                I’ve read all of his books :) I have an OCD thing of collecting everything by the authors I like. (Me and a mate raced to get the complete works of James Blaylock).
                Apart from the far too weird sex scenes I really enjoyed “Coldheart Canyon”, the vet scene with the dog was kinda moving.

                • Avis says:

                  The scenes that took place in that basement room creeped me way out. But, I like it when a book can do that.

                  • The Moomin says:

                    Have you ever read any Ramsey Campbell? He’s the author that inspired Barker. “The Doll That Ate It’s Mother” by Campbell creeped me out.

                    • Avis says:

                      No, can’t say that I’ve heard of that one. I’ll have to go find it! If it inspired Barker, it’s got to be creepy!

                      • Dragonwriter says:

                        I’ve met him…VERY cool guy.

                        And I LOVE Blaylock!! Moomins have very good taste in reading!

                        Have you read any of Connie Willis’ books? She’s another fav of mine.

                        • Avis says:

                          I read “Passages”. I have “To Say Nothing About the Dog” somewhere in my collection, but I’ve never finished it. Don’t know why.
                          I did by the way loooooove “Passages”!

                        • Judy says:

                          Back in my youth, I’d ride my bike every day to the library to check out a new book or two. Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew are the only ones I can remember.
                          The only books I have collected by any particular author would be Stephen King. He has two books that I have read over and over. The Stand, and The Talisman. I have read the Dark Tower series, but it’s been so long, I don’t remember much about them. Of course, back when I read them, there were only three in the series. Now there’s what, seven?

                        • Shadow says:

                          Yup and no more, unfortunately. :cry:

                          I heard they were thinking about making a Dark Tower movie, though.

                          Damn it, it had better be good...
                        • Shadow, it will be, it will be. Judy, I loved ‘The Stand’. I couln’t put it down!

                        • oh, Shadow did you read the ending of book 7? The ending ending? I want to talk to you about it if you did. If not, don’t read it.

                        • Shadow says:

                          The ending ending? With the time loop and stuff? Yeah.

                        • ♀ It's me, I swear says:

                          *scoff*
                          That was no ending. There was no conclusion, just him going back to the beginning. I was very disappointed.

                        • alas, so was I…..I actually stopped where he begs you to stop and didn’t read it. I read about three or four other books, then my boyfriend who had read it comes up to me and tells me it’s been bugging him that I haven’t read it. (italic ‘he’ and ‘i’) So I read it. damn it all to hell, straight to hell!

                        • Shadow says:

                          Except he had the Horn of Eld remember? So it gave you hope that he would make it this time. Technically, it’s not a conclusion, but it is hope for a conclusion. Personally, I thought it was very clever.

                        • Arthur Eld says:

                          Better late than never… here are my two cents:

                          Loved the ending of the Dark Tower series.

                          Would need an anthology of many books for the deserted island. Non fiction – Haffner: “Defying Hitler: A Memoir”, “Der Teufelspakt”, “The Meaning of Hitler”, “Churchill”. Gibbon: “The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire”. Helmut Schmidt: All he has ever written.

                          Fiction – Remarque: “All Quiet on the Western Front”, Ende: “The Neverending Story”, Stoker: “Dracula”, King “The Dark Tower” and, because I loved it in my childhood, Neil: “The Last Man Alive”.

                          If I was forced to pick just one book it surely would be The Lord of the Rings. I’m re-reading that at least once a year for the past 20 years and I expect to continue doing that.

                        • coyote says:

                          A.E. have you read the Silmarillion, or any of his other works?

                        • Arthur Eld says:

                          Sure! I don’t think I have missed any of his books related to LOTR.

                        • coyote says:

                          I was just googling what a first edition Silmarillion was going for and came across one that I hadn’t heard of. Morgoth’s Ring. Going for three grand! It says that it is the tenth Middle Earth book.

                        • Arthur Eld says:

                          Apparently there’s one book I don’t know! I’ll google like hell! :-)

                        • coyote says:

                          Feels good knowing that you haven’t read all of a favorite authors work. Something to look forward to. I think that I’ll pass on the $3,000 copy though.

          • 5 eagles C.C.C. says:

            I know that on one will read my favorite books but here goes.
            1)Wisdom of the Elders by Knudlston and David Suzuki
            2)Cree poems by Margaret Sam-Cromarty
            3)Three Day War by Joesph Boyden.

            • Brewski says:

              Hi 5eagle. Nice. What is “Three Day War” about?

              • I would hazard a guess at a three day war.

                • ZombieApocalypse says:

                  NEVER judge a book by it’s title.

                  My favorite? Wow, there’s been so many over the years. At this point in my life, I’d have to pick the first Hitchhikers Guide (recently re-re-re-read this one, I’m currently lost somewhere in the middle of Life, the Universe and Everything) because I need to lighten up in my life a little.

                  • Shadow says:

                      :shock: No. Way. That’s a shame it never made it to the public :(

                      • Dragonwriter says:

                        It did. It’s called “The Salmon of Doubt” and it was finished by other writers using his notes.

                        • Chief Gallows says:

                          *Makes note*
                          And I was just thinking I need a new book. :)

                        • MD says:

                          That’s not entirely accurate. Salmon of Doubt (book) contains the beginnings of the third Dirk Gently story, which was to be called ‘Salmon Of Doubt’ (stay with me). SoD (book) also contains many interviews, articles and unpublished snippets retrieved from his HD. DNA said (as recorded in one of the interviews in the book) that he wanted to write a sixth HHGTG, as MH was so bleak, but the ideas worked better as a DG book. It was never completed. There is a sixth HHG book on the wasy, by Eoin Colfer, “And Another Thing”. Due in about a month.

              • 5 eagles C.C.C. says:

                So far it is about a war vetern coming to his reserve. And remebering the ways of the hunter and most importantly his grandfather, and brother who have passed I think. Not finished yet as you know I am learning to read for the first time.LOL.

          • ♀ Can't think of a name to test right now says:

            There are too many that I really enjoy for me to pick just one as a favorite. Right now I’m reading the Midnight Louie Mysteries by Carole Nelson Douglas, though. (series of books with a cat named Midnight Louie as one of the main characters)

          • czuhc says:

            Difficult question.
            LOTR is hors categorie, of course.
            Random selection:
            The Magic Mountain (Mann)
            The Trial (Kafka)
            Tales of the Dying Earth (Vance)
            The Brothers Lionheart (Lindgren)

            Just finished and loved “Coraline” and “The Graveyard Book” by Gaiman and “The Way the Crow Flies” by Anne Marie McDonald (fantastic!).

          • nightshayde says:

            I don’t think I can narrow it down to one book. I thoroughly enjoyed the older Stephen King books (a bunch of them, though IT and The Talisman were two of my favorites). Dean Koontz is another of my favorite authors & I’ve read a lot of his stuff. I read The Chronicles of Narnia for the first time in junior high many many moons ago (really should read those again) & can’t wait for my daughter to be old enough to read them. Same with the Harry Potter books. I’ll keep her out of the Anne Rice Vampire & Witch books for quite a while — but the Witch stories are pretty high on my list.

            My favorite more obscure books are two trilogies by William Horwood written about moles in Great Britain (think “Watership Down,” but about moles instead of rabbits). The first trilogy is known as The Duncton Chronicles, and is comprised of Duncton Wood, Duncton Quest, and Duncton Found. Set years later, the second trilogy is The Book of Silence, and consists of Duncton Tales, Duncton Rising, and Duncton Stone. They actually fit in nicely with Anne Rice’s witch books because they deal a lot with the standing stones which are found all over Britain. They’re big, long books — the kind you can’t put down once you start reading. I laughed… I cried (more than once)… simply enchanting.

            • Mystraven says:

              (should someone who has the option to move comments find this, it should be at the end of the discusion on books)

              I’m somewhat supprised at the lack of Eragon books on this list. I figured Dragonwriter would have left one by this point. I just hope this ends up in the right spot, because my computer is… odd. It’s something of a Frankenstiened computer, with at least five brand names involved in it’s construction.

                  I have and really enjoyed them. It’s fun, to me, to see how he has progressed as a writer since his first book was written at age 15. I think it’s worth it to read them all just to see that.

                  • lol, Dark Tower is much the same. Correct me if I’m wrong, but he was 19 when he wrote ‘The Gunslinger’ and 41 when the series completed in 2004

                    • nightshayde says:

                      I tried. I really did. I think I forced myself to get through the first book & started the second one. Then I realized it was silly to “force”myself to read something I didn’t enjoy. For some reason, those books really didn’t resonate with me. :sad:

                      • nightshayde says:

                        Er … I was referring to The Dark Tower/Gunslinger … not Eragon.

                      • ♀ It's me, I swear says:

                        That was the same for me when I forced myself to read Whitley Streiber’s book about being kidnapped by aliens. (“Communion” I think.) Totally different kind of book, but I really enjoyed Carl Sagan’s “Contact.” The movie sucks by comparison. It’s no wonder they waited until he was dead to make it.

                  • ♀ It's me, I swear says:

                    I’ve read the first two, but haven’t read the third one yet. I’d need to refresh myself on the first two, and I can’t find my copy of “Eragon.” I think somebody borrowed it without telling me. :roll: I don’t usually loan out my books, CDs, or movies for this very reason.
                    *sigh*

                  • Dragonwriter says:

                    Erm…I thought the Eragon books were derivative, simplistic, and not that well written.

                    *chagrined look*

                    Now, if you want a fantastic book about dragons, read Barbara Hambly’s “Dragonsbane”. FanTAStic book!

                    Nightshayde, I also adore the Harry Potter books, and reread them quite often! Harry Potter makes me happy.

                    • ♀ It's me, I swear says:

                      For dragon books, I also like Anne McCaffrey’s Pern series and Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman’s series. I don’t know if I’ve read “Dragonsbane.” I’ll have to check it out.

                      • Chanidividus says:

                        Ooh, if you like fantasy, and haven’t read the “Sword of Truth” books by Terry Goodkind, I highly recommend them! They’re truly addictive. Almost all of my friends have read the entire thirteen book series at least twice.

                        • ¡Great Scott! Chief Engineer says:

                          Loved the series! i thought Soul of the Fire and Pillars of Creation were a little weak, but when he’s on his form Goodkind’s writing is powerful.

                        • Avis says:

                          If you guys will pardon the phrase “birds of a feather, flock together”. We seem to be a group of like minded people, but it’s still sorta amusing that we all seem to like the same books.

                        • Chanidividus says:

                          Faith of the Fallen is just awesome. It’s so expressive, and actually makes me want to be a better person, which is impressive for fantasy! I think the books are a little gimmick-y (there’s always some special trick or reason for things that make everything work out… I mean, c’mon, how many life-changing revelations can one person have??), but they’re still my favourite. Temple makes me cry every time. Sundered love makes me so distraught.

                    • Chanidividus says:

                      I was really reluctant to read the Harry Potter books, having found the first one to be kind of lame, but my hubby convinced me to watch the movies this past Friday and Saturday (we marathoned the series and saw the new one on Sunday night), so I started the books. I’m now halfway through “The Order of the Pheonix”, and they’re great!

                    • ¡Great Scott! Chief Engineer says:

                      Yay! *squeeze*
                      I love Hambly’s writing! Those who Hunt the Night, and Traveling with the Dead were excellent as well.

                    • C.C. Halifax says:

                      Some other books I really liked were Call of the Wild and White Fang, and I’ve also enjoyed some stuff by James Patterson.

                      But I think Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Eragon are my favorite three series(s).

                    • Admiral Apparent says:

                      It became vogue to dismiss the Harry Potter books as poorly written “popular” fiction. We’ve had this discussion before…just because writing is accessible doesn’t make it “bad”. I love Rowling’s writing and the pace of the novels suit the page turning rate. I’ve read the Potter books more than once. Abstruseness for its own sake is tiresome.

                      • Dragonwriter says:

                        Agreed!! Now, that being said, another of my favorite writers is China Mieville. He’s ridiculously smart and my GAWD does have have some original and amazing ideas. His writing is complex and he doesn’t dumb anything down for his audience. “Perdito Street Station” is still one of my all-time favorites.

                      • coyote says:

                        I once heard a similar dismissal of Monet’s art. Since it is so easy to like it must be bad. By that reasoning anything that you feel is crap must be wonderful. Rather an insulting stance, if you ask me.

            • *gets shivvvvers* I saw ‘Watership Down’ when I was eight. I screamed when they started taking about the fields being covered in blood and made my mom turn it off! I still can’t watch it. That one part in ‘Donnie Darko’ where it’s on the TV I can’t even watch….of course, I can’t look at Frank either lol

              • Avis says:

                My mother swears up and down that “Watership Down” was the first movie they ever took me to. I do remember the scene when the rival rabbit (leader?) comes barreling after the main character, but I still think Star Wars was the first.

              • nightshayde says:

                I wouldn’t call either Watership Down or the Duncton books suitable for children (I saw Watership Down when I was fairly young but never read it). The Duncton books have some disturbing !magery and deal with some rather complex subjects (a lot is about different religions within Moledom, some of which parallels Christianity).

                • Avis says:

                  Well, I was three when Star Wars came out. And supposedly I saw “Watership Down” before that. Of course, the former really isn’t suitable for three year olds.

    This has happened to me way too many times…

    (Can’t talk much today. Epicly busy. Just want to let you know I didn’t die.

    Because I’m sure you’re so worried about what happened to me.)

    Just so you know… Are they looking? No? Good! There’s something else you should know about the DSi. It’s actually a spy robot! Little spy robots that Nintendo is using to scout ahead before they take over the world! They are spying on you. Determining who is fit for the new world order and preparing to eliminate those who are not. Their influence is everywhere–their fingers are in everything. If the DSi becomes popular… then the world is doomed–get down! …Okay, they’re gone.

    Why are you looking at me like that? We at Nintendo… I mean–I’m not crazy! I don’t actually work for Nintendo. I’m… an inside man. This is the truth! And it doesn’t stop at reconnaissance, you know! Once it gets the… special firmware update… we’re dead, man. We’re dead. Trust me, you do not want to know what I know. It’s too much to handle… I can’t take much more of this… gotta breathe… gotta breathe… just keep breating… Now… I’ve entrusted this secret to you…

    ***Update***
    Have established a home base at a hotel, well for now. Engineer fears he may have to take the whole roof down as well… :(

    • Shadow says:

      Oh, that sucks. :(

      It’s late, so there’s damn near nobody around, but here’s a squeeze from me at least, for the time being, yeah? *supermegabehappysqueeze*

      P.S. I don’t know if you’re familiar with the American show ‘Inside Edition’, but they mentioned the tornado last night. :| So you’re not being ignored. We’re thinking about you.
