Best answer from an "author" ever.
I see what you did there....and it's pretty amazing.
Anne--to be fair, it was the best question from a "friend" ever.
Eric--Goodreads is where "authors" make amazing happen.
As a person still learning how to use the English language, I must applaud this wonderful example. And laugh so hard my hubby is beginning to wonder if Goodreads is some kind of dating site.... :p
I always thought that my work should be an exemplar of the English language; I'm glad to see that is the case, Emmanuelle. :)
(It's going to be great when my books are used to teach ESL classes and new English speakers use a combination of archaic proper Victorian English, double entendres, and horrible puns.
How do you get asked the most interesting questions? XD
Clean living, Maria!
That, or being friends with the most ridiculous degenerates Goodreads has to offer...
Does "clean" not mean what I think it means?
I chortled when I read this question. Bravo to Anne for asking what we were all secretly pondering. Your answer has illuminated much....but please don't wear a helmet in public, unless it's a riding helmet with jodhpurs, then that's acceptable and will fit with your archaic proper Victorian English habits.
I would look pretty awesome in jodhpurs.
I love the prodigious vocabulary and linguistic prowess!! When I grow up...
As far as tossing undies though - they are too expensive and I've grown fond of mine therefore I'll hold on to those so no worries should come your way from my camp.
I suppose I can understand that point of view, Sylvia; though you could always use someone ELSE'S undies...though maybe that gets a little weird.
"Why do you want to borrow my underwear?"
"Um, no reason in particular..."
OMG... ROTFL... You're so clever.... I like that!
Following this thread is just the BEST. Sean, you are such a diva.
The quote marks around "author" still sting, Anne. Mainly because I find truth painful.
And THANK YOU, Antoinette, for recognizing true genius.
Butbutbut...you ARE my favorite "author", Sean.
The only 'answered question' from an author on GR that has ever made me cry...
Crack. Me. Up.
Women have an unfortunate tendency to cry when I say anything, it's true...
LMBO!!! Sean you're a mess.... I love it!

*LOL*
I mean... hmmm.
That's gotta be tough.
The quiet criers probably don't disrupt things too much, though I must admit that I would personally find that disconcerting. Those women who are inclined to bawl out loud and long must make things rather uncomfortable in public places...
(view spoiler)
Um... here's hoping there's a cure.
@ Renegade..LMBO!!! I second that motion that Sean fines a cure for all those crying women... *crackin up laughing*
Short of plastic surgery or a personality transplant, methinks this is not an issue that is easily solved...

Yes, you're quite right.
Your current options aren't overly appealing.
Ah well, let them cry if they must. I'm sure you've grown (somewhat) used to it by now...
A bigger problem right now is Continuous Ongoing Concussion Kicks from random people who think my jokes are what you'd call "bad" or "unfunny"
I'm just getting COCKs everywhere these days.
Ha! They've really got me coming and going...
...and once again I'll take the Fifth Amendment for $1,000 please, Alex.
Yeah, but he got most of his loot from tournaments, not day-in, day-out dominance like Holzhauer. Give me daily dominance over fluky tournament wins any day.
I hope that someday my ass can be as awkwardly brilliant.
Zing!
What I really need is the ass part; that thing is less three-dimensional than Fabio.
Noah Hathaway was so the flavor of the month when I was a kid; the ladies loved that guy.
