“At one point the sidebar comments were just her chanting ONLY ONE BED! ONLY ONE BED!”

“We have now had sidebar comments for ‘ONLY ONE CAVE! ONLY ONE CAVE!’ and ‘ONLY ONE DRY UNDERSIDE OF THE WAGON!’ I think the slow burn is getting to my editor.”

“At almost exactly the halfway point of the novel, the editor is threatening to drown both characters if they do not get busy.”

Every once in a while, Chinese companies selling direct on Amazon manage to amuse me. Sometimes it’s with their Boggle-dice fly-by-night company names, but usually it’s their “missed it by that much” English…

“The cover will protect your stuffs from rain or dust, you can easily remove it when you don’t wanna use the cover.”

Interestingly, the body copy further down is all much cleaner English, from a company claiming to have been founded in San Jose. So there’s a bit of a disconnect here.

Doctor Good news, Bad news...


The good news is that last week’s trailer was wrong:

not only was Amazon Prime not the villain, but everything bad was caused by the unprincipled actions of a terrorist luddite in a labor dispute over automation taking jobs, or as we call them, “A Typical Leftist”. Corporate management might not be very bright, but they weren’t eeeevil.

The bad news is that that was all of the good news.

Also, no trailer for next week, just a warningpromise that there are only three more episodes (and no Christmas episode).

And, yes, she’s thrusting with the sonic again…
