I might even toss a drowning human being or two in there too.Warty Mammalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07942793134631438689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18287683.post-13876892407418870352010-07-26T18:35:46.374-04:002010-07-26T18:35:46.374-04:00Read it yonks ago.

I read "A Confederacy of Dunces" that I think you wrote to Ricë about, and it was great. It was one of those books that made me laugh out loud. <br />Thanks also for your very fast comments (almost right after I finish posting).
