Give the Countess a happy word — she’s had her first novel accepted for publication. She’s going to have to let me have a copy to review.
It’s in the erotic romance genre, which suggests there will be lots of tentacles, mucus-slick chitin, and numerous eyes, so I’m sure I’ll be the perfect audience for it. Oh, wait — maybe not? What else could it be about?

*perks up* Davy Jones?
No? Dammit, there’s no new erotica out involving him. I’ve read everything.
Yeah, unfortunately it’s romance for the mainstream—you know, the people responsible for the popularity of things like Christianity and microwave dinners and American Idol. Notorious for their collective lack of taste.
Kyra says
No offense to the Countess, of course. But a good romance novel has been, in my experience, a rare bird. Most of them could only be enjoyed by someone with no taste.

Sometimes, PZ, your romantic proclivities remind me of Dr. Zoidberg.
For some reason I’m frisky as a squid on Tuesday. … Love? That word is unknown here. I’m simply looking for a female swollen with eggs to accept my genetic material.

PZ gets another mention from Dawkins!

Errr, did I miss something? Who’s “The Countess”? No context is provided. Is it someone you know? Someone we should know?
Oh, fishy, fishy, fishy, fish! says
CalGeorge,
Well, that supports my theory that intellectuals shouldn’t wear shorts! Haha. He’s lost his scary to me now.
