Adam@Home by Rob Harrell for May 09, 2023

which means hmmmm critique?

We knew that an answer would turnip

He’s starting to salivate!!

Purple turnip, Color Purple, coincidence? Maybe Oprah wants to buy the movie right Laura?

Gee, I wonder if Laura will be interviewed by Oprah on TV.

And if so, will her fifth-rate husband try to horn in??

Quick Laura, check under you seat. There might be a key for a brand new car.

I appreciate Adam’s complete lack of jealousy.

I always thought nerd clusters were sci-fi conventions.

This story arc has become quite the Soap Oprah.

Calm down, Laura.

Uh oh. Fame and fortune has come at last. Laura hit the literary lottery.

This happened in real life! I heard about it on the podcast Radiolab and here’s an article about it. An author wrote an obscure book and it exploded because Jay Z wore the title on a sweatshirt.

We burried the hatched after the revolutionary war and came to their side in two world wars in spite of our strong isolation feelings…and again in the Falklands. They stood by our side in the Iraq and Afghanistan debacles. Let’s face it, we’re BFF’s.

Oprah has a lot of pull………… especially for turnips!

Gardening: Good for both turnips and okra—I mean, Oprah.

Having the book doesn’t mean she likes the book.

Then sales were bound to turnip

This one reminded me of a Johnny Carson’s warning to one comic— Joan Rivers to be precise. She said that he warned her that her life will change after her first appearance on his show, and it became true.

The same could happen to Laura, if Bob Harrell will take it to that next level…

If it was real life, then that author’s life does change because of the Oprah factor. The jump in income and the lower anxiety about money will make it easier to concentrate on the next book.

I’m pretty positive that NOTHING in the “Oprah-verse” happens by accident. The question will be, how much payola was involved with the publishers for that book to just “HAPPEN to show up” in her bag? Or for the candy makers to get the Nerds Clusters there, too?
