A tussel, a tasket, a green and yellow basket ...

Or was that a pistol, a faucet, and a green and yellow casket?

You're right, Truthie! Subbie misspelled the WFTD. Now that's a new one.

The WFTD is

TUSSLE

I wrote it down two different ways. Where's Braindamage?

I have an excuse, though. It's been 110 degrees plus for the last eight days. We've had three days that have been the highest in recorded history. The sun has fried and tussled my brain.

Throw a little archeology into the mix with sex, and there could be a lot of tussling going on.

A++++ for you, NnB!

Wouldn't it be more accurate to describe them as Neutral, since the Bad guys are witches and warlocks too ?

I mean, realistically most of the fantasy type literature deals with magic users on some level be it Tolkien, or David Eddings etc....

Hey, I misspelled the WFTD. What does that make me? Malverbophilic?

i suppose we can quibble over how to characterize them.i haven't read them myself, i am going by what i read that Cardinal Ratzinger said about it. i agree in principle that there is way too much in the way of blurring the distinctions between right and wrong and good and evil. that's what i took him as getting at.

I loved that book. Insomnia. One of his better ones, IMHO.

"ugh" is all I get from you, Cook? That's it? I misspelled the word, for goodness sake. And I get an "ugh"?

My point is...the blurring doesnt really happen if both protagonist, and antagonist are the same type of character. in this case Magic Users.

Good remains good, and evil, evil.

I went thru a Stephen King phase in college-early adulthood. Then he just started to disturb me too much. I never read Insomnia, Misery, etc. I literally had to move to a populated part of the house from my bedroom to finish "Pet Sematary". I later wound up with a cat that looked like that after she was hit by a car and lived.

It is good that you enlighten people about Harry Potter because these are subtle seductions which act unnoticed and by this deeply distort Christianity in the soul before it can grow properly," wrote the Pope

I had never heard about the Russel building. Very interesting. Monorails and everything. Sheesh.

A++++ for you, Truthie!
