Disembodied hands on Santorum daughter creepy.

That's not what I pictured Margaret as looking like.

I MEAN TUOMAS TINTIN THEORIES

Tuomas had a history of heart trouble. In 1992, he was hospitalized for three days following an irregular heartbeat, and in 1999, his situation deteriorated rapidly. After undergoing dental surgery in that year, he lost 50 pounds, was in great pain and seemed unable to recover from the stress. On October 12, 1999, Tuomas died at age 63 in Bel-Air. I whistled for a cab and when it came near, the license plate said 'Fresh' and there was dice in the mirror! If anything I could say that this cab was weir', but yo home, man, forget it, I'm off to Bel Air!!

That's not what I pictured Margaret as looking like.

did you see her as more tuomasesque?

A Kid's Review
I-reading all of Judy Blume's books-was rather disappointed with Then Again, Maybe I Wont. Maybe it's because I am a girl and it's coming from a boy's point of veiw...I really am not sure...but it other than that it was good. Some parts were unrealistic. Why would a fifth(going in to sixth) grader(the narrator and main charecter) watch a girl get undressed from his window??? Once again, maybe I don't understand the thrill...it just seems like something an older boy[maybe eighth grader) would do......anyways NOT recommended to anyone under the age of 12-the book talks about some mature things...

Delicate sentimentality, June 2, 2001
By Casey Ahn - See all my reviews
Judy Blume's wonderful book should not be missed by any child about to enter the turbulent years of adolescence. When I first read this book as a fifth-grader, it mean little to me beyond the facially charming stories. As I travelled down the sometimes-painful corridors of pubescence, it became a constant companion that helped me through the ever-increasing trials. I, too, had an "older sister" that was the subject of my ocular ministrations. This book is real, in a way that I truly needed at that critical time. I hope everyone derives as much benefit from it as I have. Even now, I think back on those few crucial passages with visible delight. Many's the time . . .

The one detail I remember from that book is that the dad got rich from inventing those adapters that turn two-pronged outlets into grounded three-prong outlets.

i remember my 3rd grade class was discussing authors we liked w/our teacher and someone mentioned judy bloom and our teacher was all well i think the superfudge books are great but the rest are a little too adult for you kids. so naturally i was like oh i gotta check these out.

i'm very proud of never having read a word of judy blume

I was more of a Beverly Cleary fan myself.

ffs ban gabbneb

judy blume is raw as fuck

am i nuts, or is there supposed to be a fat girl in this book?

TUOMAS and the PAINFULL CORRIDORS OF PUBESENCE

judy blume was awesome. as was beverly cleary. i also remember loving these JD Fitzgerald books about turn of the century Mormon kids who, um, fought crimes, sometimes, as I remember:

i know this isn't what you are talking about but it'd be funnier if it was.

haha they found blood diamonds in the mattress and got rich

blubber A+

JD Fitzgerald books = the Great Brain and those books are great - altho the kids were not mormons themselves, they are Irish Catholics.

and they didn't really fight crimes so much as rip off the other, stupider kids.

oh god they were the 1st family in the neighborhood to get a toilet - it is all coming back

oh yeah! they charged people money to see a toilet flush

beverly cleary was aight

whether or not he exists, he lives in our hearts

this was good

Blume occupies a bit of a unique spot I think.

where's the love for I Am the Cheese, the Chocolate War, A Hero Ain't Nothin But a Sandwich, Go Ask Alice, the Cybil War

no Superfudge no credibility

yeah i loved that one as a kid

when i started asking my parents to buy me other judy blume books, they noticed that a lot of them were about girls and had an OMG OUR SON IS GAY, TIME FOR A SERIOUS TALK moment.

Maybe if you had been younger than nineteen when you asked, Kenan.

This was a good 'un, especially for the broken-home kids.

THE BOXCAR CHILDREN KICKED ASS. THEY SOLVED IMPORTANT CRIMES. FUCK YOU FOR ASSOCIATING THEM WITH JOYRIDING RATS ON MOTORCYCLES.

Man-At-Arms, The Sorceress and Orko.

Hahaha!

There's more than one way to pull a Tuomas!

(out of the hat!) [the Mael Bros glam-funk mix]

Orko is an asshole

look i've been trying to be nicer on here but god

Tuomas is a feeling

Tuomas que nada

Tuomas used to be real, then became a fake and is now thoroughly real again.

Plot twist: Tuomas has been the only ILXor all this time.

christuopher nuolan

The one rule is that you're not supposed to reveal that to your alternate selves, Tuomas.

— Tuomas

xp

That face when you remember you never saved tuomasisrealagain.jpg

Tuomas Mondae

nothing is true, everything is permitted

Question posed itt is such a perfectly Tuomas-ian appeal to outside authority that I'm surprised he didn't start the thread himself.

(luv u Tuomas)

Since we are all Tuomas here, I think it's safe to say that he's into guitars after all.

Are we doubting Tuomas?

Well played.
