EXCLAMATION POINT! EXCLAMATION POINT!!

Seriously, this stuff is so nerve-wracking and intense that I had to go to the bathroom twice during the first chapter alone!

Just wait until the next chapter! Laura Lee Hope is off the fucking chain!

Seriously. Even on an island inhabited solely by people you know, it something isn't where you left it, THE SMUGGLERS TOOK IT.

[nobleplatypus]

And you know how to recognize a smuggler, right? It's anyone you don't already know.

Whereas Bert and Nan are casually described as having "dark" hair and eyes. They probably aren't blood Bobbseys at all! This must be what is addressed in the fabled lost tome, The Bobbsey Twins and the Extended Flashback to Mary Bobbsey's Week of Drunken Debauchery in Cancun!!

This is what happens when it's only socially acceptable for the man to go to work.

Bwahaha! I almost had to stop at "her six-year-old twin."

And they go to a crowded diner at lunch where only two booths are empty, and the pair of twelve-year-olds still get a booth to themselves? Just how much space does Freddie need, anyway?

Well, I don't want to spoil you, but in a later book entitled The Bobbsey Twins and the Bobbsey Triplet, it is revealed that Freddie's anomalous girth is a result of a conjoined twin he absorbed while still in the womb.

*shakes fist* Thanks! I guess the only reason to read The Bobbsey Twins and the Bobbsey Triplet for myself now would be to find out how old that Bobbsey Triplet would have been. :P

Well, I don't want to spoil you, but... seventeen.

Guys. The comment threads on this are almost as funny as The Bobbsey Twins themselves. I would say funnier, but that is clearly impossible.

I have a funny flist. ;)
