http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0525465421/ref=p… Wha! "Pooh and the Psychologists" by A.A. Milne. Not heard of that one! Must have! So the "customers also bought" mentions a book by L. Rust Hills--that's the author I mentioned, AG, of "How to Do Things Right: Revelations of a Fussy Man." As for Frederick Crews, believe I read part of the book next to that, which is on Hawthorne's stuff. A fortuitous page in all--thx Pikey.— October 26, 2009 9:17 p.m.

SPAM-arama.
"Hope is a ghost town." If "Bob" uttered this phrase in a dark alley, it would not bode well for Cuddle. In this case, copious and immediate screaming might be appropriate ;) Interlude: SPAM!... I'm gonna eat it forever, light up my plate like a flame...SPAM!...I'm gonna learn how to lie...SPAM! I'm gonna make it to heaven...remember that SPAM is my name. [remember, remember,remember,...SPAM!]— October 26, 2009 9:07 p.m.

"SD, like you never made a minor spelling error in your life. " Vis--huh? Not sure what you're referencing--we must have some kind of static noise in the channel. I am occasionally stereotyped as someone who picks on others' grammar, maybe because of the way I write, but actually do not do this, unless it is an ongoing joke among friends (such as about the semicolon). Reasons: It is boring and trite to point out errors, don't do it unless paid, make errors myself, and finally, prefer to pay attention rather to the substance of your post--as I hope you would mine. Hope that subject is done, and misunderstanding past--rather you call me a US Hater than a grammar picker upon-er ;) As for Rushdie, I mentioned him above and above; the "Salmon" comes from the Seinfeld episode where Kramer thinks Rushdie's first name is the same as the fish. Hence, an episode packed with fishy puns--and an actual appearance from Rushdie while still under the fatwah. The original reference to Rushdie, in convo with refried further above was to his novel's use of multiple voices and characters. We were discussing texts that try to employ different voices, but fail to distinguish them sufficiently to justify them. Midnight's Children is one such Rushdie novel I was thinking of. Read it? Wicked good.— October 26, 2009 8:59 p.m.
Broken Promise
"In the old days if you chose the Euroamerican ways, you went to school and "your savage ways" were beaten out of you. You were made to eat soap if you spoke your Native tongue." How olden were these days, cre0, if you don't mind me asking? I agree with AG--yours is doubtless a fascinating story, and you should have plenty of readers for your forthcoming blog :)— October 26, 2009 2:17 p.m.

These "Tao of [insert cartoon character here]" are so successful, it seems right to do one. The "Tao of the Roadrunner: How to Achieve High Levels of Meditative Enlightenment on the Go" :)— October 26, 2009 1:38 p.m.

AG wayyy overgeneralized: "...scoffed at by academics (which is usually an indication that something is good..." Best, most fascinating books I ever read--many assigned in school. From fiction to on--, literature and lit theory, etc. etc. Everything but self-help is potentially assignable in a course, so WTF? "Reality is not the cup. Reality is the emptiness inside the cup.”" Yeah, pretty socially awkward reply.— October 26, 2009 1:35 p.m.
SPAM-arama.
"In fact, it is a giant Spam container with the lid pulled back about halfway. Not being a big Spam fan I found this to be both humorous and frightening." I would love to see this, if it could pick up and roll itself here. Adam, are you a veggie-tarian? :)— October 26, 2009 1:07 p.m.
San Diego Ad Writer Helps Locate Wanted Murderers
Spammin,' spammin,' spammin' in the name of the Lord... As for changing avatar pic, I have done it several times. You just resubmit by clicking "Edit" on any one of your blog entries, then upload a photo. The unfortunate thing is that if you change the avatar pic for one blog, they all change. Can't have a different pic for each. The thread title, same thing--hit "Edit." Problem is changing the actual name of your blog series. How do you ask to do this, CF? Write a note in one of your blog comments?— October 26, 2009 1:04 p.m.
Bonus Blog: Second Grade Mom
re: #30: The course turned out ok, but not as well as the one in which we read Lord of the Flies and Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest"--another group of the same age range LOVED these. We did all kinds of interpretive exercises, and they were really motivated. You just have to work with the dynamic of the group you get ;)— October 26, 2009 12:45 p.m.
