Gee wiz, Mr., what books are you reading? And here can I get them? They sure would do wonders for me on the GRE. So, I had to look that word up online. Gee wiz, Mr., what books are you reading?

The interesting part is that the reason I knew it was sperm whale is that Star Trek Four is set at the "Cetacean Institute" or somesuch, and I'm a big fat dork, who may someday learn to love Ben Stiller and thereby be eligible for marriage into Annette's family. (In passing, Annette: THANK YOU) Though it's possible it was Moby-Dick, instead... right? Perhaps I have been inspired to post a blog entry about my own favorite party game, which is named after two different sex acts, and doesn't necessarily have anything to do with either of them.

Although, a traditional warmed apple pie with ice cream is acceptable. These can be trumped by strawberry cheesecake if necessary. And Robin, why would you even need "Cetacean"? Seriously! How many two word expressions can be made from "Man-juice" (Which I commend your husband for not yelling "spooge!") I'm at 3. Sperm Whale Sperm Donor Cement Mixer And your choice of descriptive words would have been??? No, I’m coconut cream as well. Although, a traditional warmed apple pie with ice cream is acceptable.

I keep meaning to read The Time Traveler's Wife. Glad to hear you bring it up. Since I'm going to try Diana's thing of reading a book a week next year, maybe I'll finally get to it.

I think in part that the idea of different wiring for the genders is part of this book. There are books I finish that I say yeah I get this. This book I read and it was very sad, well written, somewhere in the back of my brain I'm still gnawing on it. By the way this is not sci-fi in the usual sense. I think that your husband solution was perfect for Sperm Whale. Just finished a book titled “The time traveler’s wife” by Audrey Niffenegger.
