What kind of peanut butter do you like.Well, I'm not all that big a fan of peanut butter, but when I do occasionally get a taste for it pretty much any variety of smooth will do.
My tagline was a quote from a book I like, Doorways in the Sand, by Roger Zelazny. In a particularly surreal scene, the protagonist of the book has just been rescued from the Australian outback by two extraterrestrials in disguise:
"I say," came a strange voice, "would you care for a peanut-butter sandwich?"
Pieces of broken reverie fell all about me. Gagging, I gained a new perspective on the ground and the long shadows that lay across it.
Because of the peculiar outline I had regarded, I was not completely surprised when I raised my head and saw a six-foot-plus kangaroo standing beside the wombat. It considered me through a pair of dark glasses as it removed a sandwich bag from its pouch.
"Peanut butter is rich in protein," it said.
I liked the line and was just too lazy to change it, so I left it for a while. After a while, I began to wonder if anyone would ask what the heck my tagline was all about.
Thanks for asking! :)

G'nite all. I tried to go to the chat room several times tonite to see if anyone was there. I could never get in. Cleared the cache, re-booted, all the fun stuff. Still couldn't.
See y'all tomorrow.

I love peanut butter, but am not sure it has much protein. There is even a "peanut butter diet."
Am reading Damnation Alley, looked for a book with Zelaszny's name after hearing you mention it. They didn't have the amber series.
