Random new direction: My son (almost 7) is addicted to this, watches it over and over.

...and it's growing on me.

Gee thanks guys for basically stating a plot point of the book I just said I was reading...

Wait, when exactly did you say that?

Not wanting to further "ruin" the books for you...I'll let you discover whether that "plot point" is important or not.

I gave up after five minutes of hoping for a scene where I could get an idea of the toad's SCALE so I could start MAKING A FIGURE for someone who apparently doesn't care about such things!

And you are now in the Points Bank.

Not too worried. Just said it more to prevent any other un-spoiler-boxed spoilers from being posted.

Based on the character's importance 3/4th of the way through the first book I wasn't too worried about that little bit of info. It now makes me interested in seeing the repercussions given his oath...

So I guess you could say your little bit of info just reinforced my desire to read read these things.

We've actually hung out and played Clix in person. So yeah, we text.

Oh, yeah. Because it was every "normal"?

Ever since, "Hey, what is your REP Goal?" just about nothing has happened that could be deemed normal.

What threads have YOU been reading?

My ears started to bleed within the first 15 seconds. I think this has a term, Umm Stockholm syndrome.. thats it..

Alright, got it.

RE: "spoilers" - Certain things, such as the event that can only be called the crux of the first novel? Sure, that's something that'd be dick to blow for someone. But certain other things, well...let's put it this way: I don't think that it'd ruin the Superman experience for someone were they to find out that Clark eventually marries Lois.

...wait, did that still HAPPEN?

Do we hold hands to?

Dude, by now, she is probably GONE, baby. REAL gone!

Whacked right out of his skull, man! (35 HUMOR pts)

Whoa, whoa, whoa there buddy. We are taking things slow. There's no need to rush.

Too late. Sorry.

My daughter (about the same age) loves all kinds of crazy internet stuff. Right now she is addicted to playing Sushi Cat.

Awe shucks, I didnt mean no harm..
