Dangerously Daring People: Short-Sheeting
After reading countless summer camp books, I always wanted to short-sheet someone's bed. I bet most of you know how, but I never did--it's really simple, actually. All you have to do is tuck the sheet in at the top of the bed and fold it over. I'm sure I could have used this knowledge sometime in the past 20 years or so!
Of course, now I don't have anyone else's bed to short-sheet. *is sad*
EDIT: I'll give 10 million bonus points to the first person to write me fic about SG-1 while somehow mentioning short-sheeting. Bonus points if there's mini!folk involved.
Anyway, what's more amusing to me than this week's topic are the Amazon reviews on the two books. It's like fandom_wank, but without the fandom! On the one hand, you've got the "OMG! Such nostalgia!" folks, and on the other, you have "This book has elements of the occult and should be burned!" folks. Then, to spice things up, there's the guy who says: "This book says a boy should go out and kill an innocent animal! That's murder!" And then there are the, "Why is this book marketed to teens?" people (who actually have a point, in my opinion, but if people can't figure out a 15-year-old girl might not want a book that tells her about stuff she already knows, that's their own problem).
I bet kids' book reviews are a great place to find teh crazy.
