We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Or "kill" them? WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?

You joke, and yet people in my town get confused on this point. Not only at that intersection, though.

BURN HER!! BURN THE WITCH!!!

Only if she's lighter (which I originally typed as "liter"--hee!) than a duck. If she is, then it's a fair cop.

I was watching a History International show on King Arthur on Saturday night, and they did a very portentious sounding introduction to his castle, ending with an intonation of "Camelot." I immediately said, "It's only a model."

Because books.

Tep, if you want his head to explode we could send him the manuscript I'm editing. In an overheard conversation, someone just "charmed" in. It's a winner, let me tell you.

Yes indeed. It's a memoir about ... how much this guy thinks we should all believe in God, and REJECT SATAN.

Envy me. Go on.

Truly, the life of an editor is glamorus.

Tell him it's a test for the writers, Teppy. It's carefully designed to see whether they have sufficient attention to detail.

The one time I helped a friend out on a rush editing job she had, it was for a really interesting book--a translation of a book on the history of the bossa nova. I learned all about the guy who wrote "Girl from Ipanema".

Well, the first step would probably be knocking off the charms and other spell-casting.
