Now tagless for your comfort.

Never had a DARE class. Had a 17 year old sister in 1977, though. So I learned that pot makes people silly when I was 7.

Gud, I hope you guys find a comfortable, workable solution to the educational issues. It's tough.

Allyson, sorry about the subtitle issues. Still, book=awesome.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

I'm sure there are other exceptional cases I'm not thinking of, but as a point of education philosophy I'm agin it.

We get a lot of students who have health issues that prevent them from physically making it to school on a regular basis.

I was in an anti-drug-and-alcohol program in high school. Mostly I think we were sanctimonious little pricks. But I did manage to stay away from drugs. (The alcohol, not so much, but that wasn't until well into college.) Oh, and also develop a violent Pavlovian response to Bonnie Tyler's "Turn Around."

If you want to come to Nowhere, OH, Allyson, you can hang with Cash and I.

I say we pimp the book at Mid-Ohio Con. I'll wear a sandwich board and Ailleann can hand out flyers.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

There was a DARE t-shirt in my household at some point, but the sum total of what I learned from mandatory drug education is that alcohol can stunt your growth.

Also, that caffeine intensifies the effect of some painkillers, which is what Excedrin actually is.

Yes, I learned everything I know about the drug industry from New Jack City and That Scottish Movie About Ewan's Nudity And Vomit.

hip deep in pie

My dad was a customs officer so all I learned about identifying illegal drugs was from the manuals that he brought home.

When I was 11, my mother called me up to my 17 year old brother's room and asked, "is that smell pot?" I replied, "No, Mom, that's incense. They used that to cover the smell of pot."

It was like a bad ABC After School special.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Happy birthday Leif!

Slippers accounted for over 37 000 injuries, flower pots for 3500, and tissue paper injured over 1500 people.

How does tissue paper injure one?

Seconding the rec for 4-H - that was the only social activity in school that I enjoyed. Not all livestock.

Cash, ha!

My parents were counterculture freaks and I went to hippie school.

Fill in the blanks.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I don't understand why the marketing people seem so allergic to the word "online." It's a perfectly good buzzword!

Cromulent, even.

Allyson, is it basically the same cover, only with lame-o substitute subtitle? As long as they didn't lose the mouse, I think people will grok that it's about fandom rather than cults. And, yes, an Allyson tour would be great. We could even do up buttons of the vampire!mouse like the ones someone did for Nilly Tour 2004.
