[GCFL-discuss] The Pirates! In an adventure with Communists

[Discussion of the Good, Clean Funnies List]

If you look back in the archives, GCFL had a very fine explanation of
what a BOOK is. Somehow a screen presentation just isn't the same,
especially since you have to turn it on and wait for it to warm up.

You don't need to read up on Marx, Engels and Wagner to read The Pirates
adventure. It is pure slapstick, of the kind that gets a little tiring
after the fifteenth repetition of the same theme, but worth $1 to pick up
a mint condition copy. (I never would have thought of looking it up on
Amazon, but that's the difference between you 20-somethings and people in
their 50s like me.) The front cover offers "Oh No! Black Bellamy has
stolen the Pirate Captain's prize ham and hidden it in the silky folds of
Karl Marx's busy beard! Help the Captain and his crew find their way to
the booty, but watch out for the forces of oppression along the way." (It
is a maze puzzle).

I am not even aware of any books right now.  I am completely overwhelmed
with my two foster children ages 1 and 3.  I take NEWBORNS only, but they
really needed a home so I said yes...  They are moving tomorrow to a new
foster home.  I am out of my element with them!  I have a 5 year old and
still these are just too much.
 
So, books.  What are they?  Are they CDs with happy children's voices
singing happy children's songs?  Are the pages thick like boards with 3
words on each picture page?  Are they stuffed animals that make noises? 
Are they food that can be stuffed into orifices or thrown into
inaccessible places?  Can it be read for ten minutes before falling sound
asleep in bed?
Someone needs to read this "book" for me and tell me all about it.  When
I looked it up on Amazon.com just now, the review mentioned Karl Marx,
Wagner, Friedrich Engels, and I realized I would need to read other books
to know what this book is talking about.
 
I think I might be brain dead.  Or at least brain numb.
