well, it does, in a roundabout way. More book sales generates more interest for sequels.
I like the ruffles.

Noah is adorable.
They used to show us videos of Shalom Sesame on rainy days at summer camp. I've got some vague memories of the actual shows, but no specifics. I think they were an English-language series that the show had done -- they had some American Sesame Street characters and some characters that were from the Israeli show. I think the Oscar the Grouch type character was named Moshe?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Snakes on a PlaneThat's hysterical.

OK, Dennis Kucinich just made me laugh and laugh.
And that's a sentence I never expected to type.

I got thirty-one states. But I'm quite proud, as DH tested me on them a while ago and I got forty, but it took about six hours.
There were a few I should definitely have gotten though, like New Hampshire. The ones I didn't get other than that were all in the middle bit. The middle bit is hard.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes the Onion so very captures the American zeitgeist, it's like they're following me and taking notes.

His name is Moishe, and instead of a Grouch, he's an Oofnik, which is an awesome translation.
I don't think I ever saw the "Shalom Sesame" stuff, but on our "Sesame Street" we didn't have Big Bird. We had a hedgehog called Kipi (the Hebrew word for "hedgehog" is "kipod"), and he was adorable. A few years ago they re-designed the puppet, replaced the person operating it, and it's just not the same.

OK, I definitely remember that hedgehog character in the Shalom Sesame videos. Though I had no clue at the time what kind of animal he was supposed to be.
