Hec, when you're done with Misfortune, let me know what you think of it.
Well, even just starting to read it I think you would love it, Jilli. It's your kind of world.
Just call me the computer whisperer.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I know enough about the Peanuts gang to say I'm a Lucy...but I don't think there's a Pooh-verse analog that fits me.
That book sounds interesting, Hec. I might have to give it a whirl.

Hec, is Wesley Stace also John Wesley Harding?
I have a vague memory of something of the sort.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
sumi, yep. He sings (as John Wesley Harding) in the group that I mentioned (the Love Hall Tryst) on the companion CD.

What is even happening?
I don't know enough Peanuts to really parse this conversation, I'm afraid.
First Pooh, now Peanuts? Sheeesh, poor Gris. Were you raised under a rock?

Yep. [link] The whole group is John Wesley Harding, Kelly Hogan, Nora O'Connor, and Brian Lohmann.

Hey. New board.
Sheeesh, poor Gris. Were you raised under a rock?
I was raised in the 80s. By the time I was looking at comic strips, Peanuts was WELL past its peak. Calvin and Hobbes was my love.
I liked the movie that Charlie Brown was in the spelling bee, though.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Gris, I was raised in the 80s too. And the Peanuts talk made me click around in Wikipedia to refresh my memory, and I was surprised by how much I'd been exposed to the characters. I don't really like the strip much because it's not that funny and it spoiled Citizen Kane for me, but it's so much of a cultural thing.

move out and draw fire
it spoiled Citizen Kane for me
Heh. I remember reading that strip when I was like 4, and totally not getting it. But the spoilage for Citizen Kane is so pervasive I can't blame Peanuts.
(And being raised in the 80s doesn't excuse the lack of Pooh)
