    When I was a young'un, I tore through all the CYOA-type books at my local library. Afterward, I was feeling somewhat unsettled by the internal inconsistencies in the stories ("But why was my choice of "tackling the alligator" the only option that allowed me to be rescued from the tropical island nine choices later?").

    So I wrote to the authors. About eight or nine authors, I believe, and I asked them a litany of questions about why one choice caused a specific result further down the line, and what would have happened if choices X and Y were not available and how the different scenarios coexisted with each other.

    None ever replied.

    Guess I should have turned to page 63 and opened the sarcophagus instead. #chooseyourownadventure

    @comrade_leviathan: You drive away those you care about by reservedly declining every invitation because, as a child, you couldn't stand the thought of not making it out of The Scream Park of Chills alive.

    Unrelated: R.L. Stine used to be cool. Completely jumped the shark at Goosebumps 2000. #chooseyourownadventure

    I was secretly also hoping for a digital version of Choose Your Own Story and to waste about an hour doing that. #chooseyourownadventure

    Ya know, I know another guy with presidential experience that's going to be out of a job right about the same time His Jobliness steps down. Maybe we should, ummm.. give him a chance?

    Tim Cook will take over. Hes the better candidate but Jonathan shares the same design standards and quality expectations as Steve does.
