All he needs is a baby seal.
He better use 2 hands.But he’ll probably just get a male crab.

2) It doesn't last very long at least.Doing a second listen of book 8. Two things:
1) Plenty of Plenty remains my favorite part of any of these books, but specifically the audiobook version of it. Fucking masterpiece.
2) The faggot shit with Dong and Corky or whatever, is my least favorite thing in these books by far. In fact, I'd go so far as to say I absolutely loathe it, specifically because it's gay faggot shit. The books had very little in the way of romance angle, and I appreciated that quite a bit. But I don't think I'm off base in saying by the end of book 8, the "relationship" that has been addressed the most, in depth, is in fact this gay bullshit. It's the kind of shit I'd expect to find in anything aimed at the "modern audience."
Matt is a pretty great writer, but I really wish he'd lay off the degenerate stuff (including some of the shit he writes for the AI), and this is the first strike against him, so to speak. Which is pretty impressive if I think about it, after 8 books. But I'm just so fucking tired of it all, it's in literally everything nowadays.

Also, I thought the end was funny given how mantaurs are described.2) It doesn't last very long at least.

I was laughing at the GPS and Donut talking about the Mantaur penis.
Yeah that was kind of funny. The concept of the dude being split in half is all he needed, really. Dong could have just been a good friend, trying to help him get rejoined with the split half that fucked off. There was zero need for that story to include the faggot shit.
You know how much I dislike exploded hotdogs, Carl.
I was laughing at the GPS and Donut talking about the Mantaur penis.
in the prior book Dong talked about “mounting and riding” a mantaur so, I wasn’t surprised it went in that direction, when they pursued it—not that I had any interest in that storyline, I thought the “finance bro” sapient sock had some amusing quips but that got thrown away in the process
I wonder if your blind to so much of the gay shit going in because you weren’t born into the darkness like me? Maybe this is a boiled frog situation.Doing a second listen of book 8. Two things:
