Oh! I've been meaning to ask you what it meant for the longest time! I pronounce it in my head as, "Mom to kanger", making it sound like you gave birth to a kangeroo!

I understand that Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire is pretty good.

Woooo! Make sure you time it - see how accurate I was ;).

I'm not leaving 'til late January. After that I can't tell you when I'll be posting because I have two and a half weeks to find a place to live in a new city, sort out moving stuff and do all sorts of random, "shit, I haven't been here for two years... I need insurance?" sorts of things. Oh, and...

Ah, I see. No worries, then.

Who gives a damn about post counts??? I know on some forums you get some kind of oakleaf cluster attached to your name when you reach certain milestones, but is anyone here really concerned about it? Unless Darren has some kind of gold bullion or medium roasted lamb on a spit waiting for me when...

I don't think it was really necessary to pick up on that again, Stewart. It's a month and a half after the original post and sarge already appologised for the misunderstanding. Plus, I think it's really nice to sarge to check back and let us all know that his kids loved the book. So many people...

Of course it was pointless! So's summarising the darn thing! I just thought it'd be nice to put it to bed. Plus, we could have a poll to see whether Forum members think it's better written than The DaVinci Code. We could have a best seller on our hands!! :D

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! :D But we'd only want one copy of the story, not nine.

Given that the original Four Word Story has now ended (thank you Stewart for your initiative... I think the flatulent mongoose wandered off half way through the tale), does any one want to try and summarise that tripe... I mean, quality literature? It shouldn't take too long and you can bung it...

Welcome to TBF Giddieon! :)

It's becoming clear to me that I need to invest in better crackers! What's a fortune telling fish??

Man! What kind of fancy crackers do you get?!

Hard... ;)

Yup! And then throwing them out with the wrapping paper because they're crap! We had a couple of good 'years' in my family. One year all the toys were these gold-coloured charms, which we threaded onto a braclet (I was a kid at the time), and another year they were these glass-looking plastic...

Mmm... Val Kilmer :D .

I have a friend from Maine who tells me that she can't purchase Christmas crackers/bonbons down in the US. Is this true?!? I never realised this was a predominantly British tradition. Can you southerners please confirm this?

It *is* Jamie Foxx who's singing, isn't it? Man, his voice is damn close to Ray's.

Shorttimer? :confused: I picked up 'The Gunslinger' from the library, but just couldn't get into it, unfortunately. I do intend to try it again, though; I've heard such great things about this series. I've also heard the first book is a little hard to get into as it's written differently to...

Cheers, muggle! I found some neat links at wikipedia after I read your description. Interesting stuff. Makes me want to read the Dark Tower series even more now.
