Yay, preservation!
Are there any copies of Sarah Palin's bio around you can practice on?
Wesley: We were fighting on opposite sides, but it was the same war. Fred: but you hated her…didn't you? Wesley: It's not always about holding hands.

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."

Can you carve a dartboard out of a book?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
it's thin ... won't require much carving

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Brief discussion tonight with Matilda included literary allusion.
Emmett: You're getting very big.
Matilda: I'm a big girl. I'm very tall. And I'm strong. Feel my muscles.
Me: You do have strong muscles.
Matilda: I'm very strong. I could fight The Trunchbull.
Me: You could. What would you do if you fought the Trunchbull?
Matilda: I'd cut her head off.
JZ: Don't you think it's enough to throw you lunch at her?
Me: No, she's got the right idea.
Matilda: I'd cut her head off.

Herding cats for fun
I think I can carve a target right into Sarah Palin's heart, via her book. Which is commonly available on the thrift market for a low, low price that won't go into her pocket. That actually sounds... fun. Destructive fun! Maybe this will be the perfect opportunity to experiment and find out what happens when I take a belt sander to a book. Then, of course, I will want to find out what happens when I throw her book into a raging BBQ inferno...
Anybody who would like to give an old book a good home where it will be safe from destructive book crafting, please LMK.
