Robert Aspriin died?
« on: April 15, 2009, 10:06:13 AM »
Apparently in May of 2008 he passed away. Did everyone miss this or just me?  :(

I've been a fan of his Myth books for years and years. Twas a sad thing to hear that he had passed.

I had heard something about it when it happened, but I never read the Myth series.
All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

Woah, no way?  That's a bummer...no more Phule books either then, unless Peter J. Heck keeps going with them on his own - he co-wrote the last couple, but they're not a patch on the original few.
