A great book that the kids might really dig is Theodosia and the Serpents of Chaos [link]

Now, admittedly, I'm biased because a dear friend of mine wrote it, but-- Abby read it last year in fourth grade and absolutely LOVED it. I didn't tell her until afterward that I knew the author-- it just happened to be a book she picked up and really enjoyed.

I can fall asleep on my back if I masturbate. I'm sure the sleep study people would love that.

Raq, that's awesome! Kinda gives one hope for the future of our kind.

Anybody would be honored to be mistaken for Raq's gay wife.

Well, maybe not a guy.

One of our guys, sure.
