And I shook his hand! Man, he rarely lets a person get a word in edgewise. Should've gotten him to autograph my boobs.
 
Does he have a thing for boobs or do you have a thing for ink on your boobs?

He's a man. And since I tend to do ridiculously inappropriate things, I figured getting my boobs signed on a school playground was just the thing.
 
Wait till my pants are down and then do tell us all about it.

Well, this one time when I was in a parking garage at the University Square, the elevator made this weird noise, which made me think someone was hurt somewhere on the level I was parked on. So I go look, and nothing. I finally figured out it was the elevator making an elephant noise (that's the level I was parked on: elephant). I get into the crowded elevator and I'm talking to my other half and I told him is sounded like a retarded person was moaning. Low and behold.... a man with Down Syndrome was standing behind me. So, there's that.

For future reference, should we ever run into each other at a Grateful Dead concert, I have excellent penmanship.
 
He's Mormon, therefore he wouldn't partake of singing said boobage.

It saddens me that you toss about the 'retarded' so casually.
 
I liked his Seventh Son series as a teen, but outgrew it. Last I heard he was a scumbag rw nut job.

He's a great author, but his political leanings leave me feeling a little growdy at times, true. However, if I based who I talked to on their political/religious theories, I'd have no friends.

Fair enough. Unlike you I draw the line at having strident homophobes doodle on my tits. Different strokes for different folks, I guess!

Ender's Game was a coming-of-age classic, I'll give him that. Interesting side note: I'd never heard of the book, but Jimmy Carter was on a Sunday talk show promoting one of his books and mentioned that he enjoyed reading this, and called it a classic. Good enough for me!

The sequel, Speaker for the Dead, was preachy garbage.

Xenocide was even worse. Gave up on him after that book because he patronized his audience with his trite Deus Ex Machina ending.
