Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I know from experience, it's really hard to do deadpan and have people get it, unless you're talking to people who know you really well.

TAR: WHY on earth would people who can't swim/are afraid of water do the diving/swimming thing?!? Also I hate Lake.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Jeez, Allyson -- doesn't your publisher have a marketing department? Isn't all that what they get paid to do?

Consuela, if the books I read on how to get published are not shitting me -not so much.

These days publishers pretty much make writers do most of the promotion - at least for most first time authors. They strongly suggest that if you get as far as being able asked for a book proposal to submit a marketing plan with it. This is one of the reasons agents are so wonderful - aside from letting the publisher know the work has been prescreened they do a lot of the stuff editors used to do. If Allyson is being asked to submit suggestions for getting on Oprah from her publisher I would consider it a very good sign. Even if it is a routine form all authors get asked to fill out, it is a good sign that Allyson's publisher, or branch of a publishing mega-corp, is high enough on the food chain for Oprah questions to be on a routine form.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh, see, I love the continuing legs. Because they totally fuck with the team's headspaces, and that makes the race interesting.

I do wish that people would READ THE DAMN CLUE before volunteering for Roadblocks, though. The hint says "Take the plunge" and you are STANDING NEXT TO A SWIMMING POOL. Think, people, think!

AND I was all excited that the teams were getting all moved around order-wise, but the jackholes were still first?!?

Ah, but that's the beauty of an extra-long leg! Anything could happen! Lake's car could explode for no reason!

Please let that happen.
