Don’t over-microwave a wheat-pack.

“Banged Grains” is a terrific band name.

:)
It’s a Pratchett reference (of course), which should answer Aimee’s question. Corn isn’t the only grain that pops when heat is applied to it.

*facepalm* I really ought to read more Pratchett. Sorry I missed it.

Don’t beat yourself up about it – everybody ought to read more Pratchett :)

Yes, they should. (And yes, I did pick up the reference, but only after I commented.)
I just told my reading group (none of whom are fantasy fans, all of whom are high school teachers) that I read Twilight, a Teen Vampire Novel, and they all laughed at me and started packing up. Yes, I did postscript by saying it was a bestseller (reaction of surprise) and that our students would like it (reaction of interest, as one might react to the suggestion that dettol is rather good for killing cane toads).
Sigh.

Oh, I just read a terrible review of it today too and I can’t remember where. About passivity and perfectionism.

Your reading group are fools. Some of my favorite books are teen books – Holes, Stargirl, Feed, etc.

Not my reading group! This is just some list doing the rounds – a list of top 100 books or so.
But I agree on the YA lit.

I meant Aimee’s reading group.

Oh, in that case, agree with you entirely :) I was thinking this was the next post.
