Christopher Moore
Life is loneliness, broken only by the gods taunting us with friendship and the odd bonk

Well they're pissed off and they're hungry. I was kind of busy trying not to get my brains eaten. They seemed pretty adamant about the brain-eating thing. Then they're going to IKEA, I guess
Christopher Moore
