A poll.

Since I can't in fact spend all my free time in the garage this summer, what should my other August project be? I'm leaning towards writing a small, instructional handbook. Which prospective title sounds best?

A) "How Not To Use The Danger Room: A Self-Help Manual"
B) "Welcome to the X-Men (Here's How You Survive The Experience Without Getting Culled For The Good of The Group)"
C) "Zen and the Art of Not Assaulting Your Coworkers"
D) "Scotch, Redheads and Very Fast Motorcycles: Coping Strategies From The Trenches"

Thoughts?

:P That reminds me of a story from back home...

...And if you're going to really right a book, Mr. Summers, shouldn't it have a more positive title? Otherwise people might not want to read it.

Possibly. Then again, for the people who don't read it and need to, I can always use it as a blunt instrument and beat them over the head with it. Osmosis is highly underrated as a learning methodology.

o.O;;; I don't think they mean it like that. And that's not the best way to get people to read your book, if you don't mind me saying so.

The use of sweet reason is a wonderful thing, but it depends on the willingness to listen and the ability to absorb.

o.o

No... I'm pretty sure osmosis doesn't work like that. I mean, I could be wrong and everything but I was never able to learn anything by sleeping on a book, so I don't think beating someone with it would be the best option either. Maybe a test? Tests always got me to read books, even when I didn't want to or couldn't really pay much attention to, you know?

So that might be the better way?

The osmosis thing was a joke, Dori.

Besides, if I really wanted to make a physical point to one of the X-Men there's always sparring practice.

[x-squirrel.livejournal.com]

Oh! Okay. Because that isn't a very good thing to do. I mean, besides, unless the book was really thick or something it wouldn't even make that much of an impact, anyway. I mean, if you're going to hit someone with a book I'd go with an encyclopedia or a Dungeon Master's guide or something.

...Or by a monster manual. It'd be ironic to get beaten up by a monster manual.

Sparring could be okay, I guess.
