There is another interesting twist to this item, Dandelion, since Big Poe purposefully whacks Jimmie Cosner in the head with the ball as he is trying to steal second base! (And young "Douglas" is in the stands taking this all in with his mom!)

I bet it's a great display! Funny, I'm reading it again right now. Well -- not right this second. The book is beside me, ribboned in the middle of your favorite, "The Small Assassin." Wheeeeee.

Hey -- I dig being a Junior Member of the forums. Do I get a discount on Happy Meals or anything? If so, I'm holding out of the pack with the Star Trek: The Motion Picture secret compartment ring.

No discounts until you complete initiation and become a full member. We teach you the secret handshake then as wel--- I mean - there, uh - there is no secret handshake. Right guys?

Please welcome kdw waugh with open arms everyone. He is the real deal. One of us. After all, this is my best buddy who turned me on to Ray Bradbury five or six years ago.

On a personal note, kdw - I now feel that this site is a bit more complete now that you are here - been waitin' for ya.

And now back to the business at hand -

Watership Down author, Richard Adams was born in 1920. He preceded Ray Bradbury by about three and a half months, coming into the world on May 9th of that year.
