Haven't seen a good one since Johnny Quest. <br /><br />Heidi- I'm too middle class and American to read. Fortunately there's an audio version of Michael's book. <br /><br />GSV- do you throw the bottle out the window? No, you don't. Your missing the whole point of this story. <br /><br />M Rowe- i'm so happy you kids were able to make up. And you sold a book. My inner bitch is screaming with joy and looking for for a new Villeroy & Boch pattern...all at the same time.tintinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652066200071703445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-32817368847604576842012-04-14T18:20:08.015-04:002012-04-14T18:20:08.015-04:00How anyone could have resisted siring a brood of H...How anyone could have resisted siring a brood of Heidlets with you is beyond me. Thank you for your kind intentions regarding my brilliant first novel (which Barnes and Noble called the best vampire novel of the year, but anyway....) and FYI I never thought you were a bitch, at least not in a bad way. The ways in which you likely are a huge bitch comprise many of the attributes I find most attractive in my friends. Look at Mr. Tin, for instance: did ever a bigger male bitch trouble daylight? And yet I hang onto the edge of his every word. Lack of that type of bitchiness is too middle-class to be borne, and I just...can't. That's why God made Rotary Clubs and sewing circles.Michael Rowehttp://www.michaelrowe.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-90493348087751201752012-04-14T13:09:15.884-04:002012-04-14T13:09:15.884-04:00Yeah yeah yeah.

I'm sorry she never got past Clinique, though. There are so many far more wonderful kinda soaps out there. <br /><br />I'm going to buy your book, Michael, and give it to my sister who is the ultimate vampire reader (but not Twilight.) According to her, I didn't mean to be a bitch, though I have been one for several weeks now, truth be told. It would be boring and middle class to explain why. If it's any consolation, I never had any children, with any of my husbands.Heidihttp://antibadmoodsprays.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-66549754874760682492012-04-13T17:41:17.610-04:002012-04-13T17:41:17.610-04:00I hadn't realized that appreciating the writin...I hadn't realized that appreciating the writing of this post was an expression of desire to have pee thrown on one. In that case, I retract my compliments and just thank God that I never had sons. Especially ones questionable aim when it comes to peeing in cans in moving cars. At least the khakis were probably 100% cotton.<br /><br />And Heidi, no, vampire novels are not the new middle class. They're the same old middle class they always have been.

I remember my ex-wife getting very upset whenever I used her Clinique face soap in the shower. Have no idea why other than she was a woman... and, didn't like the little hairs I left on the soap. <br /><br />Michael Rowe- I don't think most adult women are looking to have pee thrown on them. I understand there are some who do but they are in the minority. Remember, it's live and let live around here.

Best Spring Break I had was New Orleans, 2004. Before Katrina. I went there for a drill meet. Hundreds of midshipmen running around New Orleans drinking and smoking cigars. Nothing quite so insane as pissing all over my shipmates, but I think we pissed in a few corners of the French Quarter. That was probably illegal now that I think about it...<br /><br />Oh, yeah, and we placed higher than the team from Annapolis.
