They’re actual size, but they seem much bigger to me.

Which road? The Toddler Highway?

Depends on which one you’ve listened to.

Yep, I was there too. They were great.

They Might Be Giants

But will they teach us more about what the sun is? I’m curious.

Man I love TMBG, they played at Gen Con this year and are playing again next year. It was a great show and I am definitely going next year.

Please, don’t let’s start down this road.

Saw them live over the summer. They’re regular sized people.

I like it a lot. I’ve haven’t read it in a while though, I’ll have to do a re-read.

I finished The Orphan Master’s Son, which was excellent from start to finish. I especially loved the accuracy of its depiction of life in North Korea, even down to the horrific minor details (e.g, a concentration camp inmate’s shoes being made out of tires, the Pubyok breaking their hands to make them stronger, etc.)…

Great list... “There’s A Zombie in the Basement” by Stan Yan is a recent addition to great spooky literature for kids... the cartoonist wrote it to help his son get over being afraid of monsters! http://stanyan.me/books/theres-a-zombie-in-the-basement/ 

I’d also highly recommend the Room on the Broom cartoon. The animation perfectly captures the book’s art, it actually thoughtfully fills in a few motivational points (impressive for something based on a board book), it’s 30 minutes long, and it’s on Netflix (in the US, at least).

I think they ran the series some early morning a week into October, with zero fanfare. At this point, I’m convinced Cartoon Network constructs its schedule by throwing i ching that’s been customized with 20 hexagrams that all say Teen Titans GO!

Jim Ross’s book, “Slobberknocker.” Just started it.

What’s heartening to me is that it seems to be taking root as a classic in the sense of “beloved annual tradition,” like It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown has become. Rightfully so.

Then you did yourself a severe disservice.

I just picked up that ebook, then discovered that my local library actually has the hardcover. I checked it out, just so I’d be the first to do so. In reality, I’m still working my way through Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits, so I probably won’t get to JDATE3 for a while.

Just read this to my 4 year old last night before bed. We’ve had it for a few years and he seems to enjoy it even more now that he can delight in torturing Grover by turning the pages himself.
