I am my own three stooges act. Watch me trip over my own two feet and kick a can of paint all over a hardwood floor. Watch me run around my house with a bag on my foot trying to find rags to clean up the paint! Oy vey!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I bought the book, and read the book, sticking in notes about "you met her in RI" "this is the Krav person. No, I do not know her last name" "I was at that!" The book is going to my mother as a birthday gift. She already read the Haunted Ballad books, so we've got a history of stuff written by my invisible friends.
My little contribution to the legitimizing of fandom.
Good book, too.

My mother is stoked that we are in it, and she covets ita's martial arts background.

Oh yes. "Random Acts of Paypal" made me tear up, and books very rarely manage that. It's now finished and resting in my bookcase between Douglas Adams and Suzette Hayden Elgin.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Why are we eating Cheetos with chopsticks?Because your fingers won't get all orangified!
Also, why are we eating Cheetos?This is harder to explain. I wanted orange food?
I am my own three stooges act.Is the paint cleaned up now? Are you okay? Did you catch this on film?
(Yes, I know, people want to bubblewrap me.)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
It's a good book. Excellent stories, well told. It will go on my bookcase next to Fallen Angels (Niven, Pournelle, & Flynn), and Bimbos of the Death Sun (McCrumb).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I know I should Google and find out what a Cheeto is, but my stomach has been very resentful of any food fed it today, so I'm gonna just pretend I know.
I wonder if they're like Cheese Trix. And look! Thought too much about food.
Ow.

Do not Google snacks on a resentful tummy. Cheeto Googling should only be done with a tummy of iron.

It's better to not think of Cheetos as food at all. They're carriers of a neon orange substance that is not actually related to cheese.

Cheetos are an article of faith, one of the mysteries of the universe. One can only understand them by contemplating them, one at a time.
