Hmm. I dunno, what does he mean by "this"? Is it an opinion or a fact? And is the person someone explaining the fact or discovering the fact; alternately, explaining the opinion or persuading of an opinion?

(Giulietta is not fond of sweeping generalizations. Even if they are positive ones.)

It's out of context and from a web forum. I think he means "this" to be a piece of writing, or at least that's my general impression. Pterry has a tough time getting some of his kid's books published in the states, because the publisher said something like "this is too smart for American children" and Pterry opined that the problem is the (Johnny Maxwell)books are too smart for American publishers.

Christ, it's cold in here. I should be snuggled and asleep under my duvet.

I need more than a Fraser furnace here. The heating went off for the night nearly seven hours ago, and I can't find the fingerless gloves I have for typing in.

*hit by inspiration*

Oh, fingerless glubs, how I love thee!

I always wanted to be an honorary resident-of-somewhere-else anyway, so yay.

The big question is: do you have pom-poms?

Right at the moment, no. I do have...hmm. A foam finger, a rally towel, a boa and some mardi gras beads. Fortunately for you, a cheesehead is not involved.

What is a cheesehead, or don't I want to know?
