Hmm, this was listed as a top seed and yet nobody has voted or commented on it yet.
Isn't that a tad odd?

I found it when I was looking for the topic on how many five viners we have. I wanted
to mention that I'm a three-viner with 99 friends and seven requests. So if the theory
is correct that its the 100 mark that brings new vines then be ready to party soon.

But I digress..

Any Sedaris fans? I actually wrote sort of a mean review of one of his books but
I do find this a fascinating topic.

    I'm a huge Sedaris fan, and if everything that he is written is true, he should be in a mental hospital.

    People always want to believe that everything they read is true. Even when they KNOW it's fiction. It's human nature.

    We want to pull a "James Frey" on David Sedaris? That's ridiculous.
