SKYLER NEEDS TO GO BACK TO MARINE CORPS BOOT CAMP

Actually, Skyler, it’s a series of books…:)

Skyler’s such a bookworm - NOT!

Actually, its a series of books and a series of movies.

Yeah, and everything is copyrighted. Sure he can even mention it without a (c) symbol somewhere?

hmmmm Skylar can you be any more vague?

It sounds like Skylar never read the book, so it must have been a homework assignment. If he hadn’t been forced to read it (if his friends had introduced it to him, for example), he’d have probably read the entire series and been able to explain it to his uncle.

And it is all about witchcraft.

More than I want to know about it.

Duh!

Some of you crows by gloating over your vast knowledge, or lack there of, get so stinking technical you ruin all the fun. Loosen up.

When logged on does go comics greet you with “Howdy?” Or is that just for okeedoekee’s benefit.

Hey EarlWash:

As a group, the crows show remarkable examples of intelligence, and Aesop’s fable of The Crow and the Pitcher shows that humans have long viewed the crow as an intelligent animal. Crows and ravens often score very highly on intelligence tests. Certain species top the avian IQ scale. Wild hooded crows in Israel have learned to use bread crumbs for bait-fishing. Crows will engage in a kind of mid-air jousting, or air-“chicken” to establish pecking order.

(Just kidding…I actually agree with you.)

Harry Potter is a book? Wow, I thought it was some guy that makes clay jugs & such.

Okee Doekee Howdy VirtualWind! is my greeting too. The developer must be a southerner. Hey VirualWind, Post your comment below.

crunkbot: You didn’t put a “LOL” after your comment - I certainly hope you MEANT to……

Hey virtual wind, I was thinking of cowboys in movies saying Howdy. I can see and hear Henry Fonda saying it now. Not Harry Potter though.

Ushindi, Amen to that!

The only people I have heard condemning the Harry Potter stories have never read them and refuse to listen to anyone who doesn’t support their preconceived prejudices. Numerous religious people have pointed out the Christian lessons taught in the books. As for the “magic” presented in the stories, it is as dangerous as the magic in “Mother Goose” and other folk tales. The words of the “spells” are often clever puns and quite amusing.

Come on! Jesus said “Suffer ye not the little child witch to live, that he may come unto me!” That’s clear enough, isn’t it?

You see, religious fundamentalists have trouble distinguishing between fiction and reality. Of course, if they COULD make that distinction, they wouldn’t be religious fundamentalists.

Very eloquently put, fritzoid.

they’d just LOVE Harry Dresden
