of course!   it's more fun that way.

it's also more fun watching the Twilight Zone when it doesn't mimic the real world

Ah. It does that sometimes.

[trystan]

it did it more than i would have liked for a few years there..... (2017-2021)

[Lagie]

Well, hopefully the ones you watch today don't!

[trystan]

oh we're out reality being the twilight zone (or headlines from the Onion)  

[Lagie]

The head of the Anglican Central Education Authority used an article from The Onion as her reasoning for making me remove Harry Potter from my school library.  Bahamians do not understand satire (or puns).

[trystan]

uhm.... ugh.

i love satire and puns.

what article? *is curious*

[Lagie]

It was one about how children were practicing magic after reading the books and learning the spells.

well the article was amusing. but wow if someone believed that was real

[Long_Before_Sunrise]

I remember that. I also once saw a book in a thrift store on how extraterrestrial alien visitors were fallen angels. I should have bought it. I went back later to look for it, but the stacks had swallowed it.

Someone did. So the books came off the shelf, sadly.

You're sure it wasn't taken by the aliens as a cover-up?

 

Good morning, CPA!

People who don't believe in magic who believe in purely fictional magic.

It's like that middle school Christian set of novels about teens turning into dragons. Apparently that was ok, except the bible doesn't have a good opinion of dragons.

They should have got the author while they were still writing the draft in that case.

[trystan]

people are.... interesting, to say the least.

this is why some people say that learning things and reading is "bad for you"... or why people say books are weapons

'Are there weapons in a bookstore?'

'It's a store full of books, which are objects that can be thrown as well as read,' Monty replied blandly.

The Crowgard cocked his head. 'I had no idea you humans lived with so much danger.'

My face hurts. I'm tired of having TMJ. Someone bring me a new skull.

 

Maybe I'll just duct tape packets of Hothands to my entire head.

I hope she's okay.

@Classycal, are you okay?

 

Next drops coming up...

This dog is sure fortunate I'm home to do this for him. 

My shop is doing very well in my absence.

[Jamari]

There's been no activity on her scroll. I haven't seen her around in a long time. Yes, I hope she's ok too.

[Long_Before_Sunrise]

I'm making all sorts of little mistakes.

Someone needs to take my phone away and put me to bed.

*looks around for volunteers*

You're staying up, too  huh?

[trystan]

maybe someone will claim my z'Aeria Gloris?
