    Default New book announcement?

    Not sure if this is the right place to post, but I'm very intrigued by the tweet...

    Pretty sure it's the new book. Take a look at the presently-down Oookoodook. If the text and sheet weren't hint enough, the book's cover doesn't match any existing book.

    I'm certain it's the new book, and I am very, very excited.

    Well, lets not jump to any conclusions. As the site says, there could be anything under there. Perhaps its a surprise Corgi attack! Or a giant waffle! Or a pack of Corgis eating a giant waffle! Could be anything!

    Looking back to the 8 Oct tweet from Rich that the "New OOTS Book" was eating his life; put 2 + 2 together; I come up with attack by flaming zombie cheese dogs!!!!!!

    Sorry, not sure what happened there...

    Ah. And the collective (doubtful) sanity of the internet summoned the flaming zombie cheese dogs to destroy the abomination before it can spread.

    Damn, that'd be a cool fight scene.

    Rich just wants us to know that his favorite color is beige. I mean come on, it's obvious.

    Well, you could just skip straight to the announcement. The tweet was:

    Gosh, it looks like http://Ookoodook.com is temporarily down for some mysterious reason. Wonder what that's about.
    And Ookoodook.com's main page clearly had the book under a blanket with Elan peeking under it.

    Ah, thanks. I had already ordered the book and calendar, but will have to wait until I can access web archives to try to find the image of Elan peeking under the blanket, unless someone saved a link.

    Also, I'd like to apologize to the Azurites. Restricting communication with an entire nation is instead something that Xykon would do in Gobbotopia with a Cloister spell.
