Okay, this has absolutely nothing to do with gaming or mapping, but I still want to shout it out.

My book, "The Everything Parent's Guide to Childhood Illnesses", is now available for pre-ordering at Amazon.

Is it available in stores.. Like B&N? I dont think I'd buy it since.. I hate children.. but I'd grab a frappa-lappa-chino-reno from 'bux and flip the pages at least.

Yeah, I asked the publisher to change the picture, but they refused. :furious:

It will be by the end of this month.

At least that's what the publisher tells me.

Good work doc. I can see that your child will be treated very carefully and wont be sick very often.

On another matter doc, I just caught the flu, been home for nearly a week, and I can tell you it's the most annoying cold I've ever had, I can hardly even breath, my nose is completely sealed, I nearly chock cause of the lacquer and cough every moment. And to crown it all I have a headache. Well thats life, I hope your kid wont suffer alot from deseases.

But it's no where near as fun as making a map.

I can heal, and I can maim (in a deathmatch, that is).

If it weren't boorishly inappropriate, I'd drag the fun of our Snarkpit conversation in here.
You just did.

Yeah, I noticed that as well, Ant. No pointless bickering, or egomaniacal ranting... All good things must come to an end though, I suppose.

Sandy vagina....my balls are eroding!!

Anyway, congratulations on getting your book out there in the world Satchmo. I wish my doctor had half of your skills, sadly he just diagnoses everything I get as a "mild case of blah". I don't like him...

Damn forheadkid on the cover... That's a slize of ugly right there! She looks like she could use a good old punch in the face.

Otherwise, nice job! I'll buy a copy when I get kids.

So why bring the history here, you moron? No-one cares about your public soapbox crap in which you spout utter drivel in order to promote yourself as someone who "knows all that we don't".

No-one cares. Stop stirring controversy for the heck of it. Like I said, TWHL was perfectly peaceful for a good week while you were away. Coincedence? I think not. If you've got something against satchmo, deal with it without attempting to flout your ego all over the place. If you've some beef with satchmo from an experience with the Snarkpit, then keep it at the bloody Snarkpit.

No-one likes your self-obsessed, idiotic, attempted prophetic statements and platitudes.
