How do you get kids into reading?

[Airborne Rifles]

You're Russian??

No, I just play one on TV...er...lived there for a few years.

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

One night a week, instead of watching TV take the entire family to the library for an hour?

Now that you mention it, that is what my parents used to do. Sundays was walk around the Stanley Park Seawall, KFC bucket picnic at the beach, then walk to the library for an afternoon of reading.

Are you still in Vancouver? I love visiting there; one of the most sparkly jewels on the NA Pacific coast.  Stanley Park is enough to make most urban centers jealous. In my youth, I pulled many a dolly varden from Frasier and her tributaries. I do think Banff is a heck of a lot more fun to say than Vancouver, but it's surmountable.

(I'm in Seattle, WA.)

No, too expensive for my work which involves buying land.

I used to like to go to Seattle when I was young. Mostly shopping trips to outlet centers. Banff is one of my new hangouts. Very nice tourist town, better than Whistler IMO.

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

The Putin stink is maybe unfairly associated with the people now, blame him, not everyone watching.

I haven't made it to Banff yet, but I've heard many, many praises similar to yours. I hope to make it soon!

What? I knew AR went to USMA and lived in my area for a while. I had no idea he lived in Russia for...a spell. Shut up Star! And go have a Zima. Floozy.

[Airborne Rifles]

I'll be moving back to your area for a spell this time next year. Gonna be there in May to get a good pick in the post housing lottery.

Gus' area or Splaty's?

[Gusington]

I think AR means mine, near USMA.

[Airborne Rifles]

Gus is correct, although the Banff and USMA communities appear surprisingly similar at first blush despite their geographical differences.

[GDS_Starfury]

just know AR that Gus responds well to rolled up newspaper and frisbees.

[Airborne Rifles]

I've heard he responds well to other thing too, but I really, really don't want to know more about any of that.

[Martok]

Unless you're secretly a hot brunette who likes to dress up in steampunk cosplay, you don't have anything to worry about. 

[skeptical.platypus]

That's not completely fair to Gus. He is an excellent and generous hugger to many, if not all.

[Airborne Rifles]

Well that's a relief. I keep hearing rumblings about midget porn or some such...

[Gusington]

Yeah like you don't midget porn too. Or star in it. Or have Star fluff you before performing in a scene. Or have your dogs balls on a mantle.

Hey whateva.
