Oh! I know- tell me what they think of Africa. I think Hunting was big in the thirties… didn’t Teddy Roosevelt kill like THOUSANDS of african beasities on safari?

That would be cool.

Nono.. I ‘member. Just like… I can’t think of anything in PARTICULAR that I want to learn. I love any kind of reference books and will just open to a page and start reading… and well, I can’t think of anything that was around in the thirties that I want to really learn about.

And I hear about that Monster Quest show, Bill- I thought “Wow, they’re really stretching there, aren’t they?”

You know, that reminds me. I should totally look at my Weird US Book and pull out some of the weird ones. I even illsutrated some and those would make for some wackadoo blog entries.

History Channel had Monster Rats on TV. I think it was MonsterQuest. Regardless that is strange. Is it the year of the rat or was that last year?

But remember? I only could carry one volume, Volume 10, PEA-SAN. I had to carry all of Lackey’s books in my bag too so I couldn’t buy the whole set. Tell ya what. You come up with a list things you want to learn about and I will go back to the thrift store and learn ‘em at you.

aww, look at the cyoot little rattie.
I wanna know what it says about EVERYTHING now.
What does the book say about children?
Whatabout Jazz music?
Whatabout TV?

Wait, was TV around in the 30’s?
Nevermind.

I just want you to use your brain to its fullest extent. And how could you without all this knowledge? Seriously, I’m starting a weekly sidebar column. Maybe I will name it after you in the hopes that it will inspire you to fill your mind with erroneous, helpful bullshit.
