I don't drink.
There was actually a show on the Food Network that my uncle was watching... I can't remember the name. One of the things that this particular place in Las Vegas does is scorpion shots. Which is exactly how it sounds (the alcohol of choice is tequila). I saw several being drank and every time, my reaction was a big "HELL NO." The owner of the place said that they were the only ones that he knew of to serve that kind of drink. I didn't look at the article but I'm guessing he's wrong?

It is important to draw wisdom from different places. If you take it from only one place it become rigid and stale. ~Iroh
You can't make an omelette without ruthlessly crushing dozens of eggs beneath your steel boot and then publicly disemboweling the chickens that laid them as a warning to others. ~Tarquin
The skin stretched and tanned, the striped suit sown into the flesh itself, the killer donned a new body, giggling to no one, "Wears Waldo."

Author loses his shit over a bad review on Goodreads.

Re: A page you simply -must- see!
TL;DR
So it seems all the authors comments have been removed on Goodreads itself, but someone luckily archived part of the thread while they were still in it.
The thread has 721 comments right now...
Interestingly, the author rated his own book 5 stars. Alas, the review is gone as well.
Actually, the author is gone too!!! Well, at least his user account. The author page is (of course) still there. He then whines about it on his blog (found a link via Google) but that is also gone.
For a shorter version, see this post on the Pharyngula blog: http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/ ... us-author/

That's actually kind of humorous. When he posted the first part of the book, I couldn't help but agree that it came off as pretentious and everything it was called.

Geez. Why are adults so pigheaded? ~Palom
How do you prove that we exist? Maybe we don't exist... ~Vivi Orunitia

ADD is a double edged sword. Also the handle is a blade.
That one's easy: it's because it sounds disgusting. Society's got nothing to do with that. ~Gotoh

This is more to remind me that it's there than anything else: StupidFox on deviantArt. Looks cute.

Places like this make my heart happy. I can possibly actually belong somewhere.
