Given, of course, that it was most likely in a thread I seldom frequent, or far upstream in a thread where I've skipped, so I'd be unlikely to stumble across it on my own, and that it wasn't a private AIM or email conversation.

No, it was on the boards somewhere.

It involved Polter-Cow but I cannot remember which thread.

where and in relation to what did Hec utter--well, type-- your tagline?

David, can you remember? I can't. It was definitely on this board, and I'm pretty sure it was in a thread I don't regularly frequent (which doesn't really narrow it down any, because I only read here and Bitches with any regularity).

Making a Skippy McSkipperson cameo appearance to recommend a wonderful book I just finished: The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. It was a wonderful read, and so unbelievably complex yet utterly readable. Bittersweet and beautiful and oddly funny. Quirky.

It's one of the most original and interesting books I've read in a very long time. You can find info and reviews about it here on Amazon.

Oh, another friend of mine just recced that to me, Kristin! I am intrigued and shall check it out.

I'm having far too much fun reading McSweeney's when I should be working: If Bukowski wrote children's books....

Heh. A list just for billytea.

I'm sure she'll be honored.

It's got "Rufous" and "'Coot" all in the same name!
