Otter never really tried to read Wallace, in fact.

I find him easier to listen to via audio books. The beauty of his prose and sentences comes through.

edutcher বলেছেন...

Otters have a lot of fun in the water, so it probably doesn't read.

How do you find this stuff?

No...wait, I should ask, how do you find TIME to find this stuff?

Saint Croix বলেছেন...

Actually, this corgi thinks you're doing just fine. Because screw those other guys. "Keep up the great work," says this corgi, "I'm proud of you!"

Dogs are awesome. Get a dog, Althouse!

Penny বলেছেন...

Queen Elizabeth knew just what she was doing... breeding all those Corgis.

Ann Althouse বলেছেন...

How did I find that? Just going to one thing and noting those other links in the margin.

Astro বলেছেন...

That's why I have a Corgi.
No pigeons, there, huh? No doubt plotting in secrecy, while trying to avoid those reactionary zebras.

traditionalguy বলেছেন...

That was so good that I am still laughing and crying.

Maybe some people do get reincarnated into animals. I remembere several of those animals from when they were in human bodies.

I need some more corgis @32 and less cats @ 33 these days.

Penny বলেছেন...

Big lick and a tail wag for tradguy!

Penny বলেছেন...

Not a corgi, but sure was fun pretending.

Feeling better, tg?

Penny বলেছেন...

Deborah said, "Fox paws and lady parts. This is a very poetic thread."

She didn't say it here, but she did say it!

Either one political post up or one political post down, not sure which anymore.

Penny বলেছেন...

Sure hope deborah doesn't mind that I quoted her here instead of there?

Yeah, it's out of context now, but?

She WAS talking about animals, and so were we!

David বলেছেন...

It's a shaggy dog story!

The Corgi made it all better.

Penny বলেছেন...

You betcha!

Penny বলেছেন...

Know who else said that?

"You betcha!"

Ha ha Groucho Marx, for cripes sake.

"You betcha life".

Craig বলেছেন...

My otter wants me to finish Anathem and Reamde.

Patrick বলেছেন...

This Honey Badger doesn't give a shit.

lemondog বলেছেন...

Think they might have been disappointed in us ?

Rusty বলেছেন...

This human thinks the human that thought that shit was cute should be beaten with a 2x4.

Petunia বলেছেন...

Indignant starfish wonders why you got home so late last night.

The rule of Lemnity বলেছেন...

I didn't finish Infinite Jest.

I impulsively bought it after reading about his death here.

and imperceptibly stopped reading it around page 100? cant remember exactly.

Sigivald বলেছেন...

The Otter would be more disappointed to know I've never given a damn about Wallace or any of his books.
