Footfall by Niven & Pournelle, in which an alien race of miniature elephants, nicknamed snouts, attempts to take over the Earth.

Very good. I forgot about that one.

Welcome to the Cellar.

Good call.

Welcome to the cellar. Your sense of wry humor, as evidenced by spelling your member name as clear text, is a good indication that you will fit in well here. Not to mention your taste in books.

I hope when I am an old lady my chin hairs don't grow that long.

That's it! The last Niven book before he sold us all out, (the SOB). It also had the absolute worst sell-out cover ever. Instant giveaway of a the whole story of a 600 page novel, one glance at the cover. After reading it I tore the cover off and then loaned it out.

And I 2 welcome you this hall of psychotics Emoticon.

So it looks like they don't like butter. Ummm, does anyone still hold the dandelion under someone's chin to see if the chin-owner likes butter?

Good question, sweetwater. :thumb: Although technically you're supposed to use a buttercup, I've seen it done with a dandelion quite often.
I also wonder if kids do that any more, or are they too busy with electronic gadgetry?

My kids do.

If you pick a dandelion you wet the bed.

spudcon 06-07-2008 08:06 PM

So that's why that happens!
