The fact that he didn't is proof of his generosity. [Big Grin]

Was that YOU Hobbes??? [Laugh]

We still laugh at that question at least 6 times a day at our house. And we trusted you with vetting the Crystal City manuscript? [Grumble]

What were we thinking! [Dont Know]

Just kidding of course. [Wave]

I asked a far stupider question the first time I met Mr. Card (the question itself wasn't stupid, but the asking of it was, and that's as specific as I'll get), and I sincerely hope he doesn't remember.

And I was wearing a cowboy hat and boots at the time, too. *winces just remembering, for multiple reasons*

Rest assured this classic will get bumped.

Pop, I think I may with with the worst way to get recognized. I'd have to flip them off before they realized it was ME. o_O

"And you are?"

"Mackillian."

"Who?"

"Jamie."

"Who?"

--I--

"OH!" *collective gasp that fan flipped off author and wife*

Mr. Card, sir, is it pronounced Ha-track or Hat-rack?

[Big Grin]

of course, I could only ask him that if I went to a signing. Near where I lived. In Provo. Hint, hint. [Big Grin]

Hadn't even occured to me that one could pronounce it Ha-track 'till I met Paul who says it that way.

The first question I asked Mr Card was:

"Could I get a picture of you squishing my head?"

Hobbes, I think you're in the clear for asking weird questions. But it was a question that I had to ask. So ha!

Ha-track, as in laugh track? I always thought hat-rack made sense, though now I have no clue why.

I'm confused myself on this "other" pronunciation. are we talkin' "HuhTRACK" or "Ha-Track" like "let's take a trip down to the Ha-Track"...i always knew we pronounced each others handles incorrectly, but i never thought there were multiple pronunciations for the actual website name! [Smile]

I once wrote a parody about this place entitled "HalfTrack." The ever-popular science fiction author who set up the site gets killed off, and one of the posters did it.

Ever since then, I read "Hatrack" as "HalfTrack." [Smile]
