@RellSeanFrancis My copy was a gift from my wife, Christmas 1998. I noticed shortly after getting it that the spine had a double "Of His." Is there a story on that? (i.e. is it intentional, or simply the wildest design oversight ever?)
@richmugen@beyoncegarden @CallMeBrandoX So, when you look into a mirror, literally the only thing you ever see your own eyeballs? Nothing off to any angle to either side, or up or down??

@KathrynDuval@gbosslet fair in October. I’d made an offhanded reference to Stanley and both parents snapped a glance at me, then each other, then massively sighed and eyerolled. After some exasperated head-shaking Mom said “you know this age group, do you have ANY advice for dealing with this sort of
