Make our sufferings known in Germany, tell them what is happening to us, and show them what we are like.

I will never forgive Maureen Johnson for calling David Stevie’s Watson. The same David who is missing for half of the Hand of the Wall and half of the Box in the Woods.

Nathaniel Fisher was not Stevie’s secret keeper, lookout, closest confidant, and did not get SHOT AT for David “Barely Present” Eastman to be Stephanie Bell’s Watson.

it's lines like, "oh, so i'm a fսcking mistake now? you gave dіck everything! and no matter what he does, you keep on giving him more and more. why don't you do that with me? what's so bad about me?" and "you know, i looked up to you every day of my life. and when people said that you were better than me, i wouldn't mind because i believed them, too." and "i have been second to jo my whole life in everything and i will not be the person you settle for just because you cannot have her." and, "there are two types of people in the world: the people who naturally excel at life. and the people who hope all those people die in a big explosion." that just hit you in the feels as a younger sibling who always felt second best to their older sibling(s) that everyone else prefers over them

Milestone Monday

On this day, August 14 in 1863, American writer and poet Ernest L. Thayer (1863-1949) was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Thayer, who honed his satirical chops at Harvard as editor of the Harvard Lampoon and as a member of the Hasty Pudding theatrical society, was best known for his comical ballad Casey at the Bat which cemented the mighty Casey into American folklore alongside Johnny Appleseed and Paul Bunyan. Casey at the Bat was first published in The San Francisco Examiner in 1888 and became popularized by De Wolf Hopper’s vaudeville performances and many adaptations throughout history. It is considered one of the best-known poems in American literature.  

Within the Special Collections holdings, we have a copy of The First Book Edition of Casey at the Bat published in 1964 by Franklin Watts Inc. and illustrated by seasoned children’s book artist Leonard Everett Fisher (born 1924). Fisher’s simple illustrations capture the nerve-racking energy of the poem and almost animate off the pages. The edition also includes an introduction from famed baseball player and manager Casey Stengel (1890-1975) who takes the opportunity to clear up any misgivings that the poem was written about him and shares his account of a private performance of Casey at the Bat from Hopper as congratulations after winning a game for the Giants.

"Do you want me to..." He searched for something to say. "I don't know, punch him in the dick or something?"

"Leave that for me," Janelle said.

I’m doing my yearly reread of Truly Devious and came to this part. It makes me laugh a little, but also is this quirk of Nate’s ever fully explain?

He just has a box of parts and junk and is like “I collect things” without any further explanation?
