Lindsey Brigman: [the pseudopod mimics Lindsey] It's trying to communicate. [the pseudopod changes to Bud's face] Lisa "One Night" Standing: It's Bud! Lindsey Brigman: [laughing delightedly] It's wonderful! Virgil: [grinning] It's me!
Jesse James: Look at my red hands and my mean face... and I wonder 'bout that man that's gone so wrong.
Willard: [voice-over] No wonder Kurtz put a weed up Command's ass. The war was being run by a bunch of four star clowns who were gonna end up giving the whole circus away.

I was so tired once 'Abba' was over and just wanted to be calm and with my children. I married, was in 'Abba,' had my children, divorced, all in ten years. I wonder how I managed it, but I was young.
I am becoming increasingly difficult to please as a reader, but I adore being surprised by a really wonderful book, written by someone I've never heard of before.
