  1. It would have been 20-odd years ago…. that also had to do with Dad’s godfather.

    Today, I’m not sure.

    What about you?

  2. The picture of Kim Jong Il on The Daily Show is still my fave — he looked like he’d borrowed Elvis’s white jumpsuit (and hairdo).

  3. boys’ names

    My father’s name was Thor! And he would be great to find in the kitchen just beyond the pearly gates…

    Dad’s name was Thor and my husband’s name is Larry. A few weeks ago, Larry and I were driving and listening to the old-time classic radio station on XM. A show called Broadway is My Beat came on – and I was delighted to hear that the lead actor’s name was Larry Thor!

    Happy July to all – Lyn

  4. This is by far the funniest Kim Jong Il mockery out there. The conversations between him and Bush are especially knee-slappers.

  5. I love that. “Your grandparents are waiting in the kitchen.” Makes me picture a big country house with biscuits and butter and strawberries, and Grandpa and Grandma at the table.

  6. SPEAK

    I don’t really read books that often unless their for school but when i herd my english teacher talk about a book that she had just recently read i thought it sounded good becuase ive gone through the same thing and i couldnt tell anyone about it but this book has taught me many things tell people when somthings bothering you exspecially if it hurt you also listen to your friends take precaution just incase then eventually if you find out they lied then do somthing about it and when somthing bad has happend to you don’t blame it on everyone so give other people chances and trust them even though so people you can’t trust

    love the book can’t wait to read more buy Mrs. Anderson

    glad you wrote the book and i read it hope you do well and can’t wait for new books to see what you can come up with
