My copy of "I inherited a mixed animal from uncle living in woods" just arrived from Amazon

I’m starting to read it tonight!

For the few who don’t know, it was begun 21+ years ago at DU one dark and stormy night by A-Schwarzenegger and became a cult classic here.

Now I know the author’s name is Richard Martin, and the only thing that could make this better is if the book was autographed.

Unforgettable. Whattapost!

I remember some of those posters fondly.

Who could ever forget the screen name Big McLargehuge? It humbles a person.

It's good to show the world what a truly great post is!

Thanks, Hekate!

I will have to order a copy. I read that thread live as it went down and it was glorious.

I bought a copy when it was mentioned here a few weeks ago.
Even put a review up on Goodreads.

There are few things that make me laugh out loud- this is one of them.

I have told people about the creature whose ears are like soft tortillas and sounds like someone shaking a can of plums.
