As seen in The Odyssey #1. - Hollerin' Homer

I just started listening to the soundtrack and had to stop myself because I'm done, I'm sold. The Odyssey is too grown-up for my Percy Jackson addicted 10yo, but may try to sell them on this instead.

And another thing: I don't enjoy building LEGO sets, cheering for the Atlanta Falcons, using Dr. Squatch soap, drinking Shatto Milk from Missouri and traveling. Please don't put in the newspaper that I enjoy building LEGO sets, cheering for the Atlanta Falcons, using Dr. Squatch soap, drinking Shat

I mean, I have used "frick" unironically in the past. Of course, I have also used "shark" as a swear word (pretty satisfying) and, for a while, "robots" (said in roughly the tone that Seinfeld said "Newman"). So. Um. Possibly my experience is not broadly applicable?

Thanks! I remember now.
