WTF? That <i>has</i> to be some kind of cultural reference that's lost to us now, but I'll be damned if I can figure it out. <br /><br /><i>a magic healing potion that is sorely underutilized. </i><br /><br />Amen! <br /><br /><i>So, we have no idea what led her down this dark path. It's like if Urkel disappeared from Family Matters for two years and then came back as a cyborg ninja...but, aside from some vague allusions, we never find out how or why. </i><br /><br />Seriously. Put aside whatever weird moral he was trying to impart. The handling of Susan was just bad writing, period. It'd be like if Hermione just disappeared from the Harry Potter books and then a few books later someone offhandedly was like, "remember Hermione? Yeah, she's totally into boys now." <br /><br /><i>Or, as I call it, a vegenudesbeist.</i><br /><br />Is that like an analrapist? ;)Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-51248191203334608862010-12-10T19:26:57.475-06:002010-12-10T19:26:57.475-06:00Ha!

On a computer no less!</i> <br /><br /><br />This was <b>really</b> well done. Now go have a lie down before your iron-starved body gives out.

Neil Gaiman wrote a short story called, i think, The Trouble With Susan, which addresses many of the same Susan problems you brought up.<br /><br />Also i heard a rumor the other day thet C.S. Lewis was actually an athiest before he met Tolkein. I've never heard this before and am way too lazy to do any actual research (ie, teh googles) but if it's true, i think that makes the stories even weirder. <br />I've never read past the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, though, so i'm not a fair judgeSarah Ahiershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02795455714801965956noreply@blogger.com
