By at least two sources as well!
One was a pair of employees that decided to announce they quit with a bang but handing in their two week notice then spoiling the book on the internet. (They warn before they do it...)
The other was a person who took pictures of individual pages of the book and leaked it onto bittorent. This is suspected to be a publicity stunt.
Either way, I'm still getting the book.
-
Well even if it is leaked I'm still going to buy a hard copy as well as an e-copy.
-
Um I'm not sure if this is allowed here or not, but I have the link to the leaked copy if anyone wants it. It's good so far and a TEAR JERKER.
If this breaks forum rules at all please let me know. I didn't see anything in the rules that seemed like it did, but just in case I missed something, tell me.
I'm still getting the book of course. A few of the pages on the "e-copy" are REALLY hard to read so I'll be reading it all over again this weekend.
-
Nah, you're ok. You might want to PM or email such items, though.
:-)

We try to not post illegal stuff on the boards, but what you do vias PM is your business.

And I thought this was a thread about urinals.
-
I thought it was about flatulence.

My first thought was Olestra.

Wow

Hermoine is killed by Rita Skeeter.

OMG OMFG What are we gonna do now?

I've had the leaked version on my comp for over a week.

You're admitting that you downloaded a pirated version a children's book? Wow.

Wow, I really wish I could be cool like you.

I lost interest in Stupid Sexy Flanders after Book 5 (Phoenix?).
-

I didn't download it, one of my friends that's a fan sent it to me and said I should read it, because they knew I wouldn't actually spend money on it.
-
"And I didn't actually read it anyway; I just skimmed the Cliff Notes."
"Wait. You got the Cliff Notes for a children's book for which you already have a pirated copy?"
"I didn't actually 'go get' the Cliff notes; a buddy of mine let me borrow his when I told him I had the copy of the book; since he knew I wouldn't actually read it."
"Wait. Your friend uploaded a copy of the book to you- because they knew you wouldn't spend money on it;
...then another buddy stuffed the Cliff Notes in your bookbag for a book you already had because he knew you wouldn't actually read the book?"
" . . . yes. And I didn't actually read the cliff notes; he told me basically what the story was."
-
:lol:
Sounds a lot like a conversation between Oliver Douglas and Hank Kimball.

tee hee. I actually have started reading it when I have time. It's not too bad, considering I have no idea what happened in book 6 besides the major spoiler.

HAHA!!! +1 for that! :-D

So far I'm enjoying book 7. It does feel a little fanfic-ish at times though.
-

...and +1 back atcha. Great dialogue.
It even made Evonus giggle like a schoolgirl. That's so precious.

Yeah, that's what I thought about the whole Harry-Draco getting it on in Moaning Myrtle's stall thing too. Thank goodness it was a short chapter.

Is that the Corey You want ? Fiddy Cent for the whole thing.
-
Wow, I really wish I could be cool like you.
Someday, if you strive hard enough, you can be the absolute value of his coolness.

My coolness is unattainable.
p.s. why are you using my real name, Reland?
-
BOO

BOO
I'm afraid I do not understand.

Thank you sir. I'll wrap him up for you ...
Would you like him seasoned and/or dressed in a particular fashion ?
-
I'm afraid I do not understand.
That may be due to the unattainability of your coolness.

You should be more clear.
-
Speaking of Stupid Sexy Flanders...Evonus always sounded very wizard-y to me. :w:
-

You may be right.
-
You may be right.
...you may be crazy?
-
Possibly.
But then it just might be a looonatic you're looking for.
-

You are incorrect.
-
You are incorrect.
...about what?
-
Evonus has never sounded wizrd-y to you and you darn well should know it.
-
Reland gets the picture.
-
But it DOES sound wizard-y.... it's right up there with Albus, Severus, Mundungus, Evonus.....it's one of the most wizard-y sounding nonwizard names I've ever heard.
-
What about Zungmustrians and Floatapedestrians?
-
The first one sounds more sci-fi alien and the other a bit more like a Dinosapien ....
-

Back when I was in High School I used to role play. It wasn't based on anything, it was free-form, and Evonus was the name of the main character I invented. Since then it's been an alias of mine.
-
Waitwaitwait. Free-form role playing?

Yeah, it's basically where one person makes up a storyline(usually open ended), and then everyone else adds their own minor story arcs and plots to it. In the one I'm talking about it was my main storyline, and I had random people join in and add both to my plots and toss in some of their own. It was a lot of fun.
-
Right. I was just making fun of you.
-
Haha I've had about the same thing with my nick. I started it 3 years ago sighing up for an online RPG text game, and I've used it ever since.
Free from RPG is pretty cool, if you get the right and creative people for it.

I used to free-form RPG with my friends in the basement. But back then we just called it "tripping on acid."
-
My favourite character was called Sir Coughsalot when we did a similar thing.
-
Thank you sir. I'll wrap him up for you ...

Yes, some lemon pepper would be nice. And definitely Frank's Red Hot. Gotta make him spicy somehow.
-
Gotcha -
I can also roll him up in spinach leaves and shove croutons up his butt if you'd like, no extra charge.

Didn't your parents and neighbors get mad at you and your friends for using RPGs in the basement?
-
I remember one time, in downtown Pittsburgh, I was on RPGs. The PPG building shattered, and I was getting all cut up. Then, all the pieces started trembling on the ground, then shot right back up to form the building.
I still remember that shit.
Remember kids:
DON'T DO PAPER FREEFORM RPGS

I've been getting into freeform origami. It's a great use for my fucked up track sheets or lyric pages.
