Very good. I forgot about that one.

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.

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. 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?

If you pick a dandelion you wet the bed.
