Someone spiked your chocolates, you've been sleeping for the past two years. The Kindle mk. 3, Cybook Advanced, Ultra Jetbook II and the Sony Reader PRS-950 are currently the top eBook devices. Fictionwise still has the eBookwise out but with a built in xD converter now. And pshrynk won the first Hugo award for original eBook literature.

And, trying to put hose on a dragon .... well you'd just get all sorts of snags in them. Scales, you know. Knee-high socks, however, would be just the ticket to keep a dragon's lower legs all nice and warm in those cold Middle Earth winters.

Man, that Soma I took last night still has me woozy.

Hose also used to refer to thick stocking type things (1400s I think?).

I'm now picturing a dragon in fishnets...

I'm thinking that there might be a mutiny if we hijacked one more thread with a Vera and Harv story.

so start a new thread, sheesh ! (seriously, that's what's holding you up ?) (and also, mutiny from whom ?? i'd expect widespread rejoicing, personally). or alternately, you could continue the orignal harv and vera thread. that is sort of why it's there you know.

I thought it was there to name e-book devices.

Go out and buy a pair of suspenders, if anyone sells them anymore.
My pants keep falling down, and yes I have heard of a belt.

work work work work work.....

We spend weeks setting this up, and all they want to do is study.

Now I have the theme music from "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" stuck in my head.

Not that I'm complaining.

The story of Harv and Vera's little egg sounds good to me... does he grow up to want to wear fishnet stockings, though? This puts a whole new spin of oppression into the story....

Really! Anyway, the "E-readers naming" thread is officially, unofficially, and, like, otherwise for all times The Vera Thread, at least, until it is hijacked for other purposes (or no purspose at all).
