Seriously. I’m a YA librarian and I can’t keep the book (or audiobook) on the shelf. It’s not YA (every library I know of shelves it in Adult, fwiw) but my teens loved it. They didn’t grow up in the 80's but they view it with the same nostalgia as Wade does. (Now, the 90's are cool again so you get to feel really old…

Agreed on all point. RP1 was a super fast “beach” read that was enjoyable in the moment. And Cline’s second book “Armada” was pure crap because he clearly doesn’t know any other tricks and it had gotten old after one book.

Adults who write thousands of words long think pieces about why young adult novels actually really suck are the fucking worst.

The angst this book produces in those that hate it is so baffling to me. As a child of the 80's I found it to be a fun, silly romp that allowed my mind to spin up memories of days gone by. Now the chic thing to do is tear it down like its Dostoyevsky.

You...didn’t see them go burn down a bunch of tents? You didn’t catch the obvious beating of that point into you when Davos knew that exactly 20 men did the burning and horse killing?

Exactly. Looking at the ingredients list is like a who’s who of what not to put on your skin. Especially Oxybenzone:

Did anyone say piped-in engine noises yet?

Well, since Tesla paid back its loan early, we the taxpayer aren’t technically paying for Tesla anymore. Now if you want to argue about which industry is getting subsidies, look no further than the oil industry.

OK, cool, so let’s stop subsidizing the fossil fuel companies too. Oh no! Our gas prices are $9/gal now!

Can I be a pedant? People, for the love of mike, it is “TOED the line.” As in, lined up in formation with your toes on the line along with everyone else. Why would it be “towed the line?” Where are you towing it to?

I’m the guy in the video and we are indeed a gay couple with kids. Thanks for the note and good catch :)

I think the number of people holding their nose and voting for Hillary will far outnumber those supporting her ecstatically.

A friend interviewed a girl out of high school and it went well and her resume looked fine until he got to her email address: rumpshakr1990@gmail.com. He slid the resume across the table and told her get a grown-up email resubmit her resume. Other co-workers would have just no hired her based on that.

I think you are an ass. If simple details cannot be followed at 18+ y/o, to me you are sub-human. My 6-year old literally can write a similar letter. Since laziness is obviously exhibited by this student, public humiliation is the only way to motivate this mouth-breather to learn something. Even something as simple as…

The learning curve is the best part! You’re supposed to fuck up a lot. That’s why you bought extra sinkers, bobbers, and hooks. :)

Obligatory

I see this kid has learned nothing from the Red Viper.
