Deena:

I now have giggling whiplash. It's a medical term.

My current passioante affair with M*A*S*H fandom may be clouding my view of the funniness of this. Still, COMM, wherein the C stands for peppermint tea.

Liese: I just drove 2 and a half hours to get to a decent bookstore and I Didn't. Buy. Anything.

Michele T: Paul Rudnick once said that his dearest hope was to hear someone ask at an information desk for his first novel. "Excuse me, do you have Paul Rudnick's Social Disease? "

Sean K:"Unnecessarily didactic." Unnesshesheshely didit.

Miracleman: I'd say "You've had enough, Sean" but I know that you can't say "Unnecessarily didactic" at the best of times.
