23 days and counting

[Beefy]

I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

[Alice]

I feel you Beefy.  I keep trying not to get my hopes up that she'll finally stop writing them too.  But here she goes again.

[dc]

23 days for you, maybe....  Some of us will have it before then.

[Beefy]

Yes, but you won't have time to read it with all those dates you're going on.

I noticed that people were concerned about my social life and trying to set dates for me....

[OBB]

Hey dc, my girlfriend would probably go on a date with you if you give her a copy of the book early.

[nishi]

hell, *i'd* go on a date with you if you'd give me the book early.

[eo000]

hell, *i'd* go on a date with you if you'd give me the book early.

would you let him out of the closet, though?

not necessarily. although if the squirrels are in there as well, we're going out for the evening. i think it would help him build character if he had to buy me dinner.

Buy you dinner?  You told me that *making* you dinner would help me build character.

right. and making my dinner has really taken you about as far as you can go with the whole character thing. time to try a different approach.

What about the other things you have me do to for you?  Do they build character as well?

apparently not enough.

Well, if you let me out of the closet more often, I'd get more practice.

  I've gone on dates with him and have gotten...

[Beefy]

Back on topic.  It didn't occur to me before DC said something, so now it's fair game.

You're getting early copies...?

heh. i asked about that yesterday. he told me i'd get turned into a newt.

[Beefy]

I can live with being a newt, as long as I can still read the book.

Actually, every book (or dvd or cd, etc.) that has an "on sale date" has the on sale date because they're shipped ahead of time.  That way, the product can be in position, and the big guys who handle individual store distribution don't have an advantage by selling early.  We get them and sit on them until the sell date.

[Beefy]

I'll be a professional squirrel fluffer if you hook me up, bud.

That involves a lot of work.....

[OBB]

I would name all of my children DC if I got an early copy. Plus I'd get them DNA transplants so they can grow up to be you.

DNA transplants?  That's got to be one of the strangest pick up lines I've ever heard.

you're scaring me.
