Daniel Pinkwater books
Has anybody read...

Has anybody read something by Daniel Pinkwater?  He is the wackiest author ever.  Some of his books include "Borgel", "Yobgorgle: Mystery Monster of Lake Ontario", "The Worms of Kukumlima", "The Snarkout Boys and the Baconburg Horror", "The Neddiad" and I think there is another one that has something to do with the Hotel Larry.  It has to do with a muffin eating polar bear.  If you read old newspapers, see if you can find the story about the fairy tale they messed up to put on State Tests.  None of the kids understood it, so they aren't counting those questions!  Your mission (Should you choose to accept it) is to read something by Daniel Pinkwater.

Doesn't everybody have random moments?  I have random moments all the time.  Although, he is more wacky than random.  TOP!

Daniel Pinkwater is awesome. It's probably his randomness that makes him awesome. Oh, and I can be very random. (You have no idea)

Daniel Pinkwater is definetly awesome.  I like how he takes this very odd thing (but not necessarily funny) thing and makes it do something perfectly normal, but it is sooo funny.  Example: the blob in Time Space and the Other that sells rootbeer.  I would either be ecstatic or offended if I lived in New Jersey and read Borgel.  Readers of Borgel will know what I mean.  I will not tell you why, so I will gradually force you to read his work and grovel at Daniel Pinkwater's feet and eat eggplant and throw up the eggplant on pineapple.  Sorry, I get carried away at times.  Does anybody have suspicions of what the Old Country is?  I think it is Russia, but it could also be Siberia.

You sound like Daniel Pinkwater!  Who ever heard of Siberia Snot?  Anyway, imagine if Siberia was a country.

Holmes will un-confusle the Tiffany W.  You made a typo, instead of saying "Siberia's not"  You wrote "Siberia'snot".  Holmes was in a random mood, so it decided to confusle you.

When Holmes says confusle, it means confuse. Are you writing a book with royalty in it?  Is one of the characters Count Fuse*?

Spamster in his spamster cage says zyax.  Zebra yaks?

*See typo in confuse.

Idea-ness?  This might turn out to be totally irrational and impossible, but Daniel Pinkwate RP?  If you do not like this idea (which would force you to read Daniel Pinkwater) you can throw spoiled bottles of Chef Chow's Hot and Spicy Oil at me.   The above is a Daniel Pinkwater influenced statement.
