I know, Patrick. I wanted to post on that but I was just too wiped out to write everything I wanted to say. (My book is due in a few weeks and I've been working absolutely insane hours. Yesterday night, I felt guilty for only working till 8pm. Somehow, the day before, I pulled a 21-hour day!)
I'm looking forward to your next book, Amy. What amazing hours you pull! It's certain to be a good one.
Would pirates be cowed by the sight of things we take for granted, like cars or telephone poles?

Never shared this before, but I consider this the best internet meme ever. It's just so...me!

Mine is the pissed-off little white kitten saying I HATE EVERYTHING. I have it taped by my desk to make sure everyone is aware. On account of my sunny disposition, which might be misleading.

@Prickly: Mine is the pissed-off little white kitten saying I HATE EVERYTHING.
I don't have one of those, but maybe I should. I've been dwelling on my pet cube-rat kvetch, since it's been happening so often lately: Don't you hate it when the person in the next cube is talking with a visitor, then all of the sudden, their voices drop to a whisper? For some reason, that drives me crazy. I just want to yell, "Hey, if your going to share intimate secrets, GO GET A DAMN ROOM!"
Or maybe I'm just a grouch.

Actually, Daddy, I do hate that. But I have my radio and fan going because I have preternatural Vulcan hearing (according to my husband) and generally I don't WANT to overhear people. But when they lower their voices I just know they must be saying something they don't want me to hear (because it's all about me) and that fills me with extra hate.
Hey, Amy, after 37 years of ruining peoples' lives, guess who finally wised up and admitted they were ruining peoples' lives?

The Ottoman Empire still existed the last time the Chicago Cubs won a World Series. Also, barnacles, it seems, are impressively hung. Hey, I'm just saying...

Just remember when you use a shotgun in home defense Joe Biden recommends it. I bet you can even use it as defense at trial.

I don't have a kitten on my sign, but it says: "There are days I hate being me. Then I smile because I'm not you."
Yeah.
