Heh. I found a used copy of this whilst visiting RinkWorks' own Fobulis this past weekend... and of course, after quickly skimming through it, I *immediately* went ahead and bought it.

Yes, you're right, Nyp, it's absolutely great stuff. Fob and I got more than enough amusement out of it during our relatively short visit; imagine what could have happened had we seen each other for a week. Heh.

Oh yeah, and I can definitely see how you'd find the "Oat Cuisine" chapter enticing. (For the record, it took me a few seconds to figure out the pun in that chapter title as well, but I let out a *huge* groan upon getting it...)

And, eh, I guess I should mention that I'm not exactly ready nor willing to sell my copy yet, nor will I necessarily *ever* be willing to sell it. :-)
