9. "I'm afraid of ____", said the dragon, eyeing me for lunch.
"I've got _____ in my pocket. Want to see?" I said, as the dragon backed away.

-Badly paraphrasing "Anansi Boys".

39. I can hardly wait!
A video? How exciting. I guess I am just going to eagerly anticipate what you have decided to glorify, if not yourself.

36. actually I think something must have happened with C+A's blank post

Thats my hypothesis anyway.
