Yes, I like the
falsesense of security finishing your little book thing gives you. Yes, you deserve a nap. Be sure to leave your door open a crack.Damn. Now what am I going to do with all these collectors’ edition John Scalzi commemorative plates?
I just lost the office pool.
Hmmm…death by unfinished writing. That’s creative! You have to keep writing…if you type less than 50wpm, you explode!
Well, hell. It’s great that you won’t die and all but now I have all these homicidal schemes that I won’t be able to test out. Anyone have Bin Laden’s home address?

No hit job? What am I supposed to do with all these Peeps™?
ARC de Triumph of Scalzi vs. executed perfection?
Glad you won’t be murthered. That would be bad.

Braaaaaiiiiiiiinnnnnns!
So now you can have some bacon?
Darn it. Now we never get to see Death by Velvet Elvis.
Tumbleweed @4, how about once he types more than 55 words a minute, he can’t type less than that or he’ll explode! They should make a movie about that. “The writer who couldn’t slow down” or something.
