Interlude—from a defunct school book giveaway ...

Somehow, this is *not* a book about a young male prostitute.

Any guesses what Thomas's "toughest opponent yet" is (non-serious guesses welcome!)

Unfortunately due to his awesome die rolling skills - note the obviously larger right hand, strengthened by the 20-sided dice he carries - he has slain every dragon there is to slay in the aforementioned game. He sits pensively outside the rec center awaiting the newest module to arrive, the first beads of sweat he has ever felt forming on his forehead, only to be dried with his ever-present towel, or as he refers to it, Binky. His toughest opponent - ennui.

Either that or he's in a Ted McGinley look-alike contest.; August 27, 2010 at 9:00 AM
