The book is really funny! The only thing I didn't like was the end - it got very weird (the "Buttercup's Baby" chapter, with a c-section?!?!) I like where they ended the movie, and that's where I ended the book when I read it to the kids. It's well worth getting the book - I love the descriptions of Buttercup as not quite the sharpest tool in the shed!

(apologies to my fellow rpg-ers for over-using that expression, but it's so funny!)

rohirrim TR · 10-26-2005, 04:35 PM

hello there Lotesse, i haven't seen you in a long time, either i've been gone or you have, any way good to see you.

hello everyone else whom i may not have seen in a while either

Lotesse · 10-26-2005, 04:39 PM

Ciao, horse-boy! Good 2 see you, too! Want a smoked salmon sushi and some green tea? I'm only here for nine more minutes

so I'll leave the edamame and sushi out and all you all can help yourselves. It's a gorgeous day out by the pool this afternoon, too - wish I had time to jump in the pool.

Embladyne · 10-26-2005, 05:15 PM

Lotesse,
All of the food you mentioned is welcome. Mmmm...

Rian,
I saw that the book had part of a sequal called "Buttercup's Baby," and I was kinda curious about it. I should see if the public llibrary in this town has a copy of the book.

***RÃan*** · 10-26-2005, 05:57 PM

it was VERY odd, and IMO TOTALLY out of character with the rest of the book

So as I said, I just decided to end it where I liked ending it.

Too bad, because it is really a fabulous book until the very end... I mean, totally weird stuff - a faceless guy, Fezzik falling off a cliff

- what was the guy on?!

Snowdog · 10-26-2005, 06:27 PM

I'll have some green tea, but you can keep the sushi.

Good to see you back Lotesse!

**Nurvingiel** · 10-26-2005, 06:29 PM

Rohirrim TR and Lotesse, you guys have just missed each other a zillion times. Your time zones and posting schedules must not overlap.

RÃ*an, I want to read the original book (just the good parts

); are you suggesting I avoid a rather dubious sequel?

The last sane person · 10-26-2005, 06:29 PM

but she whooshed away, alas....I never seem to catch her when she is on anymore. *sips the tea and munches the sushi*

**Nurvingiel** · 10-26-2005, 06:50 PM

You mean RÃ*an [bThe Last Sane Person[/b]?

You should make "Obnovat", in your signature, a link to a picture of him. Just get it hosted at Photobucket or suchlike.

The last sane person · 10-26-2005, 07:37 PM

No, I am on with Rian most of the times, it's Lotesse I am talking about. Yeah, I wanna put a link on the obnavat, *rummages for his picture*

No, it's not really a sequel ...

The whole book is set up very strangely - there's a fictional writer, a fictional country, etc. - it's interspersed with OOC comments by this writer, and fake facts about the fictional country, which are just hilarious! In the version I picked up, it says it's the 25th anniversary version, and that the last few chapters have now been added, but the way it's written, I have no idea if this is just another false fact or not! Anyway, it's just the last couple of chapters, which are kind of presented separately from the whole rest of the book, that are weird. So it's one book - but with a couple of very strange last couple of chapters. It's well worth getting.

Poor Lotesse - she must feel like one of the Wandering Companies - hey, do you see Gildor around, Lotesse?
I hope you can move in soon

Lotesse · 10-26-2005, 09:12 PM

Funny you mention him - yeah, just spotted him about half an hour ago. He was sitting in a tree, braiding his hair and singing in Elvish which of course I do not understand. I don't think he noticed me. He seemed pretty deep in thought.

It took me TWO FREAKIN' HOURS - no, actually more than that - to get online tonight, and of course Murphy's Law dictates that when you finally get to log on, all of your mates will have already logged off. Unbe-freakin'-lieveable.

When I have to wait forever like this, I like to immerse myself in the poetry section, and copy down all these different classic poems to send to my best friend in prison. I inundate her with poetry. She could publish a "Collected Works of the Greatest English & American Poems" book at this point. Since I like to write her as much as possible, every day if I can, but rarely have anything new to tell her, I flood her with good poetry. She likes it; she loves poetry.

Lotesse · 10-26-2005, 09:20 PM

Ciao again, rohirrim!! A reverie, huh? That's what my character Vivvie is in right now, over in Middle-Earth lying in the grass, staring at the stars, in a reverie...

trolls' bane · 10-26-2005, 11:24 PM

Hello, Lotesse. We don't meet again.

ElemmÃrÃ« · 10-26-2005, 11:50 PM

Ai IlÃºvatar! My neighbour just got some of Vinyar Tengwar!

*is excited*

...albeit sick. Very, very, annoyingly sick.

trolls' bane · 10-27-2005, 12:00 AM

You're sick! How do you corrupt your neighbors so?

trolls' bane · 10-27-2005, 12:04 AM

Spooky! Everyone online right now has an Instant MEssenger of some type. Lot's of AOHell.
