I'm thinking of pulling the bench from my '68 Ranchero and putting it in the '69 Boss clone. Oh comfy!
Ummmmmmmm, NO!

Actually I was thinking "Lime Jell-O" instead of mud.
Oh come on, Scott. It allows entirely new pimped-out seating angles to be achieved, and makes spirited driving the work it should be.
seriously LIME?
Have you no imagination man?

Of course, It's all I could think of on the spot. I was just thinking "WET" at the time and thought I wanted to add a little "flavor". I personally prefer "Cherry", but thought that may be a bit over the top. You have any BETTER ideas Kate? Maybe you can show me what a REAL imagination can come up with... Wink Wink ;)
Well how about tapioca pudding? Chunky, fun and delicious. Yum, gotta love that texture!

Why is that?
After years of persecution, most centaurs in the US now live peaceably in tightly knit Amish and other Mennonite communities. This was not a problem until the Industrial Revolution, when centaurs were, by default, ostracized from the progress the new era brought. As a cyclops living in Missouri, I have met many Amish centaurs. The elders, as usual, find the complaints of the younger generations trifling and petty. "Would you rather we be slaughtered or put in carnival side-shows", they haughtily say. Literacy is very high among centaurs, and naturally the younger ones want to pursue advanced education and careers among humans, but it's sadly just not to be. The only alternative are little-known centaur communes, like the one on Santorini, where the younger ones can find more freedoms. However, growing up with Amish sensibilities, they are often forbidden passage and risk (literally) everyone turning their backs and tails on them if they disobey. These communes are seen as dens of iniquity and orgiastic frenzy, to which the younger ones say "so is human college". Centaur smuggling is indeed a profitable trade for less virtuous cyclops and troll truckers and container ship captains. Of course, it's frowned upon by all, because it risks exposure of all. But you cannot stop youth.
Neither the cyclops nor the centaur are truly accepted for who they are, but it's a lot easier every day (and I have precisely 18,203 left) to wear a mask and have to act human, than to wear a torso and have to act like a horse.

I actually did read several of his books as a teenager (On A Pale Horse and the others), and always have had an interest in Greek and Roman mythology. I particularly like the Greek myths about Hades.
I've actually been wondering what Mr. Anthony has written since that series. Now, I'm going to check out post-Christmas sales. Any suggestions?

I read the entire Xanth series when I was in my early 20s. All they had back then anyway. When Kristen was a youngin I introduced them to her and he is still her favorite author. I still recommend it if you're in the mood for some fantasy with a splash of humor.
I have not read any of his stuff for a long time BUT If you're interested in something that is light hearted fun and fantasy try Robert Lynn Asprin's Myth Adventures. Lots of tongue in cheek humor there and it's definitely light reading.
Oh hey! I am reading something right now that I picked up on a whim. Jimmy Buffett - A Salty Piece of Land. Again, strictly recreational reading and if you can get past the hokey character names, the story isn't all bad. It's about a cowboy that goes to sea.
Snow in Baja? I don't think so!
Heh, I Google it (or one like it) out any time someone here mentions "Mustang" and "4x4" in the same sentence. :)
I wrote something whack? Damn, I dint know I was so DOWN.
Xanth.. THAT'S right...
I need some light reading. Thanks Kate.
I can relate to Jimmy Buffett. The title is familiar. I might need a bottle of Cuervo to get into it, but that said, I'm game!!!
=)
Good to chat again K

I would say that the Myth Adventures is one of my all time favorites for that sort of reading... tell ya what, have a look right here:

You too kid. The Jimmy Buffett book I got at Sams I think, has a Lighthouse on the front. I am reading it one bubble bath at a time. The best part is where he sinks a Jeep into a pothole, clear up to the windshield in mud.
As for the rest, I'd go back to the Myth series LOL
