It's "posse".

No. Paris Hilton's **really bad** case of vaginal herpes.

No, that certainly doesn't.

Thanks, Don

Steinbeck's novel about an amorous ghost was "The Gropes of Wraith".

ObAUE - normally "none of the others".

Will.

BUT do you know the way there?

Thanks, Don

No, he's paraphrasing what Capote said about Steinbeck, on the "Tonight" show many years ago. If I recall correctly, he said, "That's not writing. That's typing."

Us civilized people get quite a bit out of them, as a matter of fact. We find them quite useful. Perhaps someday your standard of living will improve to the point where you, too, can enjoy them as we do.

I'll take that as "yes," then.

Maybe for you, but "He was Kurt Vonnegut" works for most people.

And spelling flames to boot!

"Us ... get quite a bit out of them"? Try again.

I don't play video games. Do you want to talk about books or not?

If you didn't understand it the first time, I don't think explaining it again will change anything. Heck, you got a second chance to read it when you replied.

Exactly! Why just "Slaughterhouse Five"? Makes no sense, considering the dozens of other novels that could've been made into movies.

I disagree, in this case. The contrast is between "just (out of) SH5" and "not (out of) one of the others".
