    I'm sorry Ed but I'll take Gaiman over Pratchett

    I'll take my gods American over Small
    I do love them both greatly, but American Gods is my favorite book of all time

    You are dead to me!

    Let's fight

    Adams > Gaiman > Pratchett

    Adams is too silly
    I do enjoy all three in various ways, I just feel that Gaiman has the highest quality
    but yknow

    I think I'll take Pratchett over Gaiman, not because I think he's necessarily a better writer. I just get so many moments of bizarre...understanding from Pratchett's books.

    I unfriended people who started using the word "slacktivist" in a non-ironic way.

    Of course nobody thought having cartoons as their main pic was going to stop child abuse. Way to be a colossal dick about it though.

    Oh when you said Adams you mean the Guide to the Galaxy Guy? He's good but no where near as good as Neil Gaiman or Terry Pratchett. His later Guide books just started feeling really bizzare and kind of depressing.

    Twitter is best when you use public lists on a topic you are interested in. Then it turns into a gigantic message board on that topic, which more posts per minute than an average board of that topic.

    Shanks are for stabbing in the gut, sides, or back. In the face I'd use a flat head screwdriver or a straightened bed coil with a point.

    Okay, shank me in the stomach then.

    Man, you guys are so fucking technical about stabbing techniques.

    It's pretty ridiculous, if you ask me.

    However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.
