-So who do kids love?

-Outspoken socialist Wallace Shawn, obviously. And convicted cocaine trafficker, Tim Allen.

-And for the soundtrack?

Don't feel bad if you didn't reach your reading goals for the year. There's only around 7 or 8 good books anyway.

Caller, after a long pause: yes. yes it was
