Fun With Words and Book Titles

[gnomi]

A couple of Shabbatot ago, over a meal, I mentioned (and I cannot remember how it came up) The Man Who Melted Jack Dan, a fun game of book titles and author names. There is a large list of qualifying entries here.

And one of the people I was talking to came up with a newly published qualifying entry: I Remember the Future Michael A. Burstein.

"Shabbatot" is way up there on my "favorite words" list. Just so's you know.

"Shabbats" just looks funny to me. So the Hebrew ending wins. :-)

The future Michael A. Burstein was totally awesome with his laser eye and riding velociraptor.

riding velociraptor

Did he acquire it through One Velociraptor Per Child (http://velociraptorz.org/)?

DUDE! My life's passion and most irrational fear brought together for the first time!

this reminds me of the game we played when i worked at the bookstore, combining titles of books to make fusion literature. this was when magic johnson's (auto)bio was out, along with 'women who run with wolves.' we found 'women who run with magic johnson' entirely funnier than was entirely called for.
