We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good  

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

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

I didn't realize there were children's books about marijuana.

Is it about marijuana or hemp? Hemp I could ALMOST see.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Check Strega's link, Frank. It's about marijuana. Though it supposedly talks about the effects, dangers, and benefits of this simple plant.

Damn. I miss the days when there was one fish and two fish and red fish and blue fish.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I miss the days when there was one fish and two fish and red fish and blue fish.

I know. It's very sad that they've been removed from the market.

If I only had a brain...

It turned out the blue fish were practicing autoerotic asphyxiation.

And the red fish were Commies, which is what liberals want to make everybody.

The two fish? Gay, gay, gay.

Just reading the reviews of the Liberals Under the Bed book. This made me go "WTF?":

12 of 18 people found the following review helpful:

Teach your children to hate now!!!!, August 22, 2005
Reviewer: GWB "George Bush" (Washington DC) - See all my reviews This book will surely teach your children to hate everyone that doesn't agree with them. Any parent who buys this book for their child will probably raise a BTK killer!

OK, funny as hell that someone signed in as George Bush, but why is this review getting marked as "helpful?" Clearly Amazon needs another voting category, something like COMM.

And that reviewer definitely needs to go review "My Pet Goat."

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

From the comments:

There is no "hatred" anywhere in the book, as suggested in other reviews, nor is there any attempt to proselytize our kids into any political party.

Uh... but it uses "liberals" as a dirty word. I can tell -- it's in the title.

The trouble with liberals under your bed is that they spend all night having non-procreative sex.

Sometimes not even in the missionary position!
