This is how I would blurb Gus:
"This first novel is compelling enough to make the reader want to break into the author's home and drink all his booze."
My love for me now / Ain't hard to explain / The Hero of Canton / The man they call...ME.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
More Gus blurbs, Ginger in GWW:
"Inspired by a near-fatal monkey attack and the phrase 'There are no black people in Wisconsin,' Gus has created a novel that's warm, tender, true and full of explosions. He believes the process has made him taller."

Prophetic? in Bitches, Raq:
I dreamed that I was trying to stop a wedding in a Balkan village using some combination of sparrows, turtles, wolves, and badgers (which stood for air, water, fire, and earth), and I was fighting two ancient crones who could shoot sewing needles from their fingertips.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

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
Kalshane: There is something on the poster about watching out for the managment float in the building tomorrow.
I'm frightened.
tommyrot: Maybe "watching out for" means to hide around the corner armed with a baseball bat?

All is well that ends in pizza.
Commable story from Aurelia:
my SiL shared this story with me: At the bowling alley last night, M (my 6yr old nephew) turns to D (my brother) and says, "What's a tortoise?" The bowling alley being a loud place, D leans over and says, "Tortuous???" M, not hearing D, says, "Yeah." Well, this was the law firm bowling league, so there was a chance that M had heard that word and didn't know what it meant, so D proceeded to explain what tortuous meant, and of course the first chapter of tort law (that's my bro!). M stops D half way through, puts up his hand and says, "No, no, no...you're describing tortuous, I'm asking you 'What's a tortoise?'." D, a little stunned, says, "It's kinda like a turtle." M said, "Oh, ok," and skipped away.

msbelle sets it up for tommyrot in Natter:
msbelle - It has come to my attention that several of the Oscar movies are on my cable on demand movie thingy. Now playing: The Constant Gardner.
The plan is to watch at least half of it tonight and finish it off in the morning.
tommyrot - The Constant (Except for the Overnight Pause) Gardner.

Classic sarameg in Natter:
I think I stole part of msbelle's good mood. I'm not in a good mood, really, I just woke up with a lower level of all encompassing resentment this morning.
