Wasn't it just brilliant? Pure genius I say...

What other bits made you really laugh loud?
(there must have been more for me, but can't remember and i already packed my books for the move...)

Loved the footnoterphone spam...totally cracked me up. I loved the crossed wires with the Russian ladies though...

Oh yeah, that was soooo cool, even though i never really got crossed wires and i have received spam...

Never got all the way through Anna Karenina - knew how it started and how it ended - footnote spam filled in the middle! Now I don't have to read it and get really depressed!

Once saw a TV listing for the film Anna Karenina in the Independent as follows:

"Channel 4, 1.15pm film - Anna Karenina.
Vivien Leigh goes trainspotting."

Howled laughing and still raises a smile to think of it!

Much of it would have made me laugh out loud if I had an out loud, I did a lot of sniggering though <g>

I loved the spam and crossed wires - I now don't have to read Anna Karenina :) I did start reading my mother's copy, but ended up looking for some lighter reading (I found Les Miserables...)



I drink to drown my sorrows. Unfortunately they've learnt how to swim.

I like the freeze-dried Plot Devices. Could do with a few of those myself. The current book's a bit stuck at the moment.

I loved the bits where Jasper poked fun at himself. The holesmith's mention of daffodils blooming in summer, for example, and the use of the word Nakijima to test the mispeling virus.

And I love the bit about conserving 'u's by dropping them from words ending in 'our' in a localized area--particularly since I live in the area in question.

grand, wasn't it Magda?? I loved all those bits. My poor hubby suffered from lack of sleep while I read, that's for sure! I kept waking him up with my laughing.

I only disturbed my parrot, Jester who was trying to sleep. He looked particularly perplexed when I felt a sudden need to assure him that I actually preferred parrots to carrots.

For me, the best bit (though admittedly it was hard to choose) had to be the rage management session in Wuthering Heights. I think that's got to be the funniest passage I've read in a very long time!

Yes especially the last bit of it...

If the English language made any sense, a catastrophe would be an apostrophe with fur.

I had an out loud to laugh, definitely.

Drove people insane with my laughing.

And all my friends are mad because -I- ordered a copy from the UK, and they're all waiting for the US release. Maybe if they're nice I'll let them read mine.

LOVED the RAge Councelling. Haven't read anything better in a long time

I think the Greek hero at the Norland Park offices was one of the best moments.
And the footnoterphone spam... (I get the real ones all the time)

"I've already forgotten. What was it I wasn't supposed to do?"
"Sorry. I wasn't listening."

*snickers*

Shadow the Sheepdog. I was shaking with laughter and had tears rolling down my face. I'm starting to giggle just thinking about it.

*Suddenly, a shot rang out!*

Metaphors be with you!

I laughed for a very long time when I realized what some of the jokes were hinting at. Particularly the u's. I suspect the numbers are rising again, because they've been slipping back into my writing.

I have to admit that I didn't understand who the Greek warrior was. Anyone care to enlighten me? Also, what exactly is Das Kapital about?

Having just read read Much Ado, Beatrice and Benedict partiularly appealed to me.

I also enjoyed describing the crossed lines to my Mom. "There are two russian women gossiping...it's about someone named Anna."
