"this man deserves some goddamned pasta."
Robbins took the cookie and stared at it glumly.
"Oh, good God," Szilard said. "Do I have to order you to eat the damn thing?"
"It might help," Robbins said.
"Fine," Szilard said. "Colonel, I'm giving you a direct order. Eat the fucking cookie."

Not important in the grand scheme of things but it made me laugh. :D
Hey folks, go read Scalzi's stuff. I've read Old Man's War, I finished The Ghost Brigades last night, and I'm about to start The Last Colony. I've already read Zoe's Tale, too; it comes after TLC but I didn't know that when I read it. The sci-fi is awesome, the characters are really interesting, and Scalzi has a helluva sense of humor. I love Perry and Sagan. Just throwin' that out there. Oh, and Hickory and Dickory, too. Love those things.
