I beg to differ. Little C’s is much much better in my neighborhood. (sheesh.. I sound pathetic, but..... not a lot of carry out options in my area)

He’s playing Rod Stewart?

:o I SEE IT

I could fill an entire book with my grandmothers expressions(mostly anger).

If their records play out, the Jags will go 16-0 and the Pats will go 0-16.

I was working in a prison library when this book came out, and it was pretty popular for the month we had it on the shelf. Then we found out about what was in it, and it was off the shelf quickly.

By that measure, I should look like the elephant man.

Would you believe me if I told you the context of the scene makes it even worse? Because it does.

Censorship is a concept I find fundamentally abhorrent, but I swear on the OED I would make an exception for Firefly. That book is garbage. I wouldn’t even throw it across the room; the wall doesn’t deserve it.

Can’t help but feel like the whole courtroom scene in Firefly is Anthony’s way of confessing and clumsily attempting to justify his own repugnant pedophilic desires.

Thanks for reminding me. Reading that book was a bit of a shock, to say the least.

Ah jesus, not Piers Fucking Anthony. This guy, man. I grew up devouring Xanth, went back to re-read a few, and realized what a horrific, vile, twisted pervert this fellow was. his writing is entire books of gross creepy, beyond even that stupid IT sex scene.

*HURK*

A lot of poor people (who are usually black or brown) live in areas called food deserts, where most stores are convenience stores or little markets with few healthy options. When you can get a burger and fries for $3 but a salad is $7, it’s obvious they’ll go for the burger meal. Crap is cheap and healthy food not so…

I fucking hate Piers Anthony. I read so much of him when I was very young and didn’t know any better. Then all of a sudden around 17 I was like, hey, wait a minute, this guy is a piece of shit.

Virtual Mode is... holy crap, that’s all I can say. First, the 14 year old is gang raped, then she falls in love with some magical dude in his 30's. But it’s all OK, because her parents agree that he can totally marry her, so they travel to a state (Texas, maybe?) where he can legally marry her. And then they have…

Or Bio of a Space Tyrant. I mean, watching one’s beautiful, barely teenage sister get gang raped over and over to save the rest of the refugees from death is a pretty normal part of development, right? And finding it sexually arousing is totally a-ok too.

Or “Xanth” and the “Incarnations of Immortality”. The whole older male mary-sue character with a very, very, very, very, younger “woman” always freaked me out more and more i started to connect the dots, socially speaking.

I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats.

I scream, you scream, we all scream due to the existential loneliness of the human condition in this nihilistic age.
