I also identified Tony Blair as Donny Osmond, glad it wasn't just me. Only one I got wrong. I got 85% on the stranger test.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That is very awesome news, Allyson. Really, there's no way that means anything but they like you, they really really like you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Doesn't it mean Barnes & Nobles is gay?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Bwah!
DUDE. It means you are MADE OF AWESOME.
I was going to post this exact thing! Except I was thinking about italics.
I am so excited about your book. Will you still love us if it goes completely huge?

Table placement at B&N or any of the chains is very very good and pretty much ensures better sales.
Yes, this! Wonderful news, Allyson. Congrats!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Great news, Allyson. That means sales and that means money and that means you'll get another opportunity to write another book. All good things.
And finally, words cannot express how much this [link] and this [link] slayed me. (Matilda and Matilda and Emmett for the unidentified-link shy among us.)
Emmett has been resolutely unwavering in his big brother doting. Matilda thinks he is the funniest one of all.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Will you still love us if it goes completely huge?
I think the chances of the book beng completely huge are about the same as hot moroccan guy being into me.
SHUT UP ITA.
