I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Not only was it the only one I needed, but I didn’t even need the whole thing!

    Thanks, BB!

    :D

    That has long been my second-favorite rendition of that tune. The first would be Bill Monroe’s.

    Oh, absolute fucking joy! All my favourite muppets together and not a single interruption from Kermit or Miss Piggy. I could almost forgive the Irish anything, everything for this.

    • Slartibartfatsdomino

      What, pray tell, are you forgiving the Irish for?

      • Wreckrob8

        Manufactured, mythological Irishness.

        • Slartibartfatsdomino

          Well, jeez, you should blame the Americans for that. All the Irish folks I know roll their eyes at that stuff. 

          [edit] I suppose whoever’s responsible for Irish tourism ads, as well (but, I’d guess that would be Americans).

            Or maybe us Brits.

    Holding the bucket.  Not even joking,  took me 15 minutes to write.  with 1 hand and 1 eye.

    Edit:
    Sorry Antonius. Delete this if it’s stupid, unintereresting or whatever your standards are.
    I’m not proud.
