    Terry Pratchett

    He was at the National Book Festival on the DC Mall a few years back and I got a few books signed by him. I don't know if he still does signings. I think he wrote a book last year, but I heard it wasn't that good

      It's weird that you mentioned this, as I was just reading a column about his dementia...

                Sir Terry just published a new Discworld book, Snuff (which he admitted may be his last). Vimes is the featured player.

                  I hear it goes dark where they all watch a video of Rincewind getting murdered.

                        Agreed.

                        Hey, didn't we agree on something else recently as well?

                          Yes, I think it was on the subject of timecube.

                            Apparently, you have the sense of humor of a 58-year-old. Congrats.

They've just got to wear a poppy, and bow their heads once a year, and it makes it all so much easier to send more men to die.

                              I think he earned the right to say those things and be respected for it.
                              My great-grandfather felt the same way; he won the Distinguished Service Cross (or some damned thing like that) as a member of the "Polar Bears", fighting the Reds in Russia.

                              Hated everything about it.
