You could still work on your Tourette's Boy children's series. I mean, come on--we have Walter the Farting Dog. At the end of the first book, his flatulence saves his family and ultimately himself. It's the flatulence that makes him so special and helps him solve crimes. Plus, there's a nifty plush toy now that makes all the kids giggle. Really--you squeeze his stomach and he does what he does best. Think of the marketing capabilities! I mean, yeah, some parents won't be thrilled with a talking Tourette's Boy doll that shouts stuff like "Cuntmonkey!" when you pull its cord, but they're just prudes.
...Crap. No, I didn't compare you to a dog. I compared your *idea* to a dog.
Also, whenever I see your signature "B 06," I think it says "Bob." You could name Tourette's Boy Bob if you didn't want to name him Ben.
And I like the dogfart idea, but if I'm trying to make kids feel better, I think I'd need them to have the protagonist FIND a way to use his Tourette's, not have it use him, right?
Well, the whole thing about Walter was that his gaseousness was going to have him removed from the family. Walter tried so hard to suppress it, but in the end (cough) he just had to be himself. Luckily for him, there was a burglar in the house at the time, and his stink bomb helped catch the crook.
You *are* clever. I thought it was just a funky B, like with a lightning bolt sort of thing. Nifty.

Also, my signature is a combo of B and S.
I'm clever, I am. So clever that nobody can tell.
Shit.

I was about to ask Ben if "Bob" was the name of the crack in his brain.
