the movie is actually pretty decent

xp Michael, that's how I felt about Ray Bradbury short stories when I was younger, but now I'm afraid to go back and re-read them because I'm afraid I'll think they suck now

they don't, not at all
"The Veldt" is still terrifying

Dan - it's in my Netflix queue, just haven't been in a vampire-y mood since reading that. Loved the first two _Walking Dead_ graphic novels and am lobbying for more of them for Mother's Day.

Oh, man, "The Veldt" is what got me hooked...
I used to go to the library and use the CARD CATALOG to find Bradbury books that weren't on the HSTNGS shelves. I remember using little slips of paper to make requests. Sometimes it even worked!

Man, I love the internets...

Yeah after a bunch of musing I recently realized that in retrospect I pretty much hated the Panera series as well.

well what do you expect when you read a series that's about Caesar salad flavored coffee drinks?

I feel like there's probably some lower GI effects possible here, too, but I'll refrain from elaborating.

I come to bury caeser, not to make pastries and beverages that taste like him

there's an obvious, environmentally conscious solution here that will save you time...

SOYLENT GREEN IS CAESAR!!!
btw everyone here loves me enough to go buy a copy of The Mountain Goats' All Eternals Deck this week, right

You get a royalty? Niiiice, I figured you got a flat fee.
― The Louvin Spoonful (WmC), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 21:27 (thirteen years ago) link
no royalties, I just want to be able to say "I was on an album that debuted in Billboard's Top 200"
― whelping at his sandpapery best (DJP), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 21:28 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, I was making a horribly formed not-even-a-joke. Congrats on being on the record, btw!

I guess I'd better try to find some spending money!
maybe you could sell some of your magic beans that you grow in imaginationville
― broke my o_O face o_O (jjjusten), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 23:03 (thirteen years ago) link
I'll sell you a thousand acres there. I think you'll like it, as long as you stay away from some of the stupider stuff (if you see someone sparkling in the sunlight, RUN!).
― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 30 March 2011 23:07 (thirteen years ago) link
oh no, you have ravers
― whelping at his sandpapery best (DJP), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 23:09 (thirteen years ago) link
haven't figured out how to eradicate them yet
― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 30 March 2011 23:10 (thirteen years ago) link
tried feeding them the magic beans, but that just led to unpleasant intestinal problems for them, which quickly becomes a problem for everyone else
PS John - do NOT eat the magic beans!

you can repel them with liberal doses of Nickelback
side-effects include: having to listen to Nickelback

lol, could be worse
― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 30 March 2011 23:12 (thirteen years ago) link
a neverending loop of "Achy Breaky Heart" will repel *anything*
you can also thin them out by asking to see their resumes
― whelping at his sandpapery best (DJP), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 23:14 (thirteen years ago) link
but the ones who stay will be super-persistent and will regale you with tales of their work experience, so it's best to use this strategy judiciously
― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 30 March 2011 23:18 (thirteen years ago) link
you can make the ones who stay mow your lawn

if your outdoor holdings are more expansive than that, you can grt them to actually separate the wheat from the chaff
