Odd book titles

"Under the Bleachers" by Seymour Butts??????????????

Lord I appologize.

Don't think "bleachers" means a lot to folks in the UK (can't speak for the rest of the world). I only knew 'cause I've read the John Grisham book.

So what is that kind of open outdoor (or indoor) seating called over yonder? Inquiring minds want to know!

Don't think there is much of a specific name, just benches or seating. My Ex and Daughter are just on their way back from seeing A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Globe Theatre - they just have seating (à la bleachers) - or the Yard (standing).

Same kind of thing with football (soccer) grounds - depending on the league & venue, the seating could be planks or fancy moulded plastic things - except you may be sitting in the stands .

ROFL ! My weekend is now destroyed, since I'll have to find out the detail on some of them. This years shortlist was ;

Got one stashed away somewhere called "Programming and Metaprogramming the Human Biocomputer".

Often wondered what it's about. I may read it, someday.

Here's one for the ladies ;

It's just plain odd !

Well, the oddness goes back some 75 years which is about when George Bernard Shaw published a classic: The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism. This wording has become a sort of a catch-phrase in some circles. It seems that it hasn't died.

Cool ! I never knew that (My lack of reading is exposed.)

Obviously it's not your lack of reading, it's one of the few advantages of my extreme old age!

Well, that's improved Friday afternoon!
