I’m OK, really. Bever felt netter.

Beats snow anyday.

Bah, humbug. Probably the younger siblings of those who wait in line for weeks to see Star Wars epIII (I think that’s right, lets see. Sixth movie produced, but the third of the first of the three trilogies.) Once again, nothing to do with spoilers but your explanation as to your distress gives the opportunity to digress. Somewhat.

Mayhaps it is similar to TiVo-ing a sporting event, then catching the final score before viewing. Hard to get emotionally involved in the play-by-play when you know the outcome.

KJwon may have a weather defense also. My noodle has gotten quite baked over the last weekend in KY and NW Ohio. I would imagine they had even more extereme weather in the Southeast. The poor lad’s probably suffering from sunstroke, go easy on him.

Now who hasn’t been taking their medication?

I’m gonna have to send you back to high school English. That was a simile (a comparison of two unlike things using “like” or “as”).

Step back and take a breath.

For a series ostensibly geared towards children and young adults, Harry Potter has an extremely large audience of twenty- and thirty-somethings. While I didn’t get in on the ground floor with the series, I did become interested in Harry Potter sometime before the third book was released. They’re all very well-written and the degree to which J.K. Rowling has plotted out the course of Harry’s life is — to me, at least — nothing short of astounding. From one book to the next, the series is like an intricate, precisely-designed machine. As the story progresses, things just seem to click into place. Minor characters, events and relationships in early books return in later installments, and what once appeared insignificant is shown to be not only important, but absolutely integral to Harry’s tale.

In the case of Harry Potter, spoiling the story is like drilling the mechanism out of a lock. Instead of each pin falling into precisely the proper position as the key is inserted, the springs and pins are mauled and mangled by the brute force of the bit. In the end, the door may be open, but the lock is ruined and the key useless.

They do host a large number of top shelf comics. Pat Godwin is a fave, and Greg Hahn, Drew Hastings, Tim Wilson(among others) all translate well onto radio.

So… back to the original post. Was it the spoiler in general that touched a nerve, or because it involved young Mr Potter? It is interesting because it reveals a bit of, shall we say, Finnish temper? Mighty uncharacteristic of your typical posts.

In fact, MFC and I were watching our wedding video last night, and you were one of the highlights, showing already at that age (16 years ago) the knack you have with words and humor. It also showed adaptability, especially when it was explained what you were to do with the garter you’d caught.

OMG, we’ve been married half of your life. Doesn’t seem that long.

P.S.
People who actually do know more are renowned for keeping their gob shut. It is the ones who know little that love to project their ignorance.

I’ve never actually listened to The Bob & Tom Show, either, though I understand that one or more of my siblings enjoy it.

“The voices in my head
Said to stop my medication
The voices in my head
Said to jump the wall and run and buy a gun
You know they’re always right
So I won’t put up a fight
With the voices in my head”

Poor Laura’s heart was in need of adjusting? Fascinating.

I have not seen Secret Window, but considered it several times. Perhaps later this year, unless some weenie spoils it.
