(strict on sale) date--when the books are physically present in the store's back room and everyone is asking for it and you have to tell them to turn around and come back tomorrow because it's more than your job's worth to hand over that latest Meyer or Rowling book.Jenny Maloneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11926410487968278887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-82483004293543997782009-04-21T17:27:00.000-04:002009-04-21T17:27:00.000-04:00That is one sad 'pus.

My freshmen roommate in college had an octopus with only 7 tentacles and we named it Heppy (the heptapus). I have been looking for a cute octopus/heptapus ever since.Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349996606070707002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-52343082672526163562009-04-21T10:42:00.000-04:002009-04-21T10:42:00.000-04:00Okay, test,
