"Although I may not be the hottest dog, I think you'll agree, my buns are better!" Then he moons the camera.

WHAT. WHAT? WHAT?! TOM WATTS DID WHAT OMG I CAN'T EVEN.

I think the book was clearly worth it just for that.

TOM WATTS DID WHAT OMG I CAN'T EVEN.
The word 'unexpected' gets thrown around a lot these days, but holy batshit. I did not see that coming until he started unbuttoning.

I had to reread to check you meant Tom and not Todd...

Right? Todd wore A CROWN OF HOT DOGS ON HIS HEAD, and he was still not the least dignified person in the stadium.

this was brilliant :D how does this arc end, do you know?

I don't presently, but I did spy a copy of the third book in my local op shop the other day. I may have to go and pick it up, although after the, um, bizarre events of this one, I don't know how it's going to compare.

" Report to the naughty corner, Toddles, you boozy bastard."

Your recaps are the actual best!

gleemonster February 1 2013, 01:14:25 UTC

And an Empire Records icon? Let me love you.

hellobrisvegas February 1 2013, 04:31:38 UTC

Well then say no more, mon amour!

Oh, how I've missed your recaps! This was hilarious.

I'm so sad I never read these books. It would have been great to see where Sam and Neil came from.

And...OMG....Tom moons the camera?!?!?! That, right there, has destroyed any residual love I had for him.

This leads to Tom putting on lipstick and a girl's voice and pretending to be Jessica. I don't even know. Todd thinks this is the funniest thing ever.

What??? Just....what??? Did they film that (in the book)? Are the characters really this dumb?!

Although it's nice to see that Todd has found a new guy to flirt with since Winston isn't around. I wonder if anyone ever wrote TW2 fic.

You're really asking two questions here. The answer to the first is that they filmed the interview with JessiTom up close through a tiny window, so you could only see his mouth. This explains(ish) why he had to put on the lipstick.

The second answer is, yes. Of course they're really this dumb.

It would have been great to see where Sam and Neil came from.The Neil parts were interesting, beause I never knew him as anything but Out 'N' Proud Neil. I also didn't realise Jessica tried to tap that, but it doesn't totally surprise me ( ... )

... sorry, what? So Jessica and Tom have... very similar mouths? I... questions are being asked here.

The front cover is a bit off with Jessica having long hair, obviously taken from season 1 of SVH TV show. While the other 2 covers in this triology are from either season 3 or 4.
