Yeah, so what? He's your friend's dad's friend. Don't ya just love this
sorta thing? Y'know: "He said she said they said we said I said you
said...." and that sorta thing? ;)

Yeah, 's funny. However, I'm too lazy (sleepy, too) to get up when they show
it here.

That's something I don't get. The "Real" adventures? Then what were the
others? The product of some sick, deranged, deprived, crazy mind? Oh, wait,
don't answer that. We already know. ;)

>Maybe someone should point Ted towards an ep of Mighty Morphin Chowder

Hmm. What about "G-Force"? I've seen a few eps. of that, and let me tell
you, they have at least one REALLY BIG explosion every time. And they show
the people getting killed (i.e. one time the girl kicked a goonie onto some
spikes. He slid off, and you could see some green glop left on the spikes.
Ewwwwwww...)

Me too.

You are? Cool! D'you like it so far? I have it, but I haven't started
reading it yet. (On the AR list, some people like that best. So far I've
read all of her books except her Lives of the Mayfair Witches and the Beauty
Trilogy. I'd recomend you read IWTV next. Unless, of course, you want to
finish the series. Then, try Lasher. Gee, ain't this off-topic? ;) )

>"Jim, those are my comic books!"

>"No, I just don't want you to wreck them!"

Y'know, this sorta sounds like the comic book arguement thingy Jake and
Chance, then later, Razor and T-Bone had in "A Bright And Shiny Future."
Remember? "Razor, don't bend the pages!"

Terra Chang
the Reality Jumper
...right now reading The Vampire Lestat graphic novel.
Also known as
C'est Moi!
the white cat
