Recently I have been introduced to Rachel Bloom, first in her series “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” and then to her Internet videos. The most famous of these is the song “Fuck Me, Ray Bradberry”, which is quite amusing. But I don’t understand the meaning of the line “S is for space, L is for love” repeated in the third verse. Can anybody explain it?
Well, he wrote a couple juvenile science fiction books eons ago with titles like R is for Rocket and S is for Space.
It’s spelled ‘Bradbury’.
The two books (R is for Rocket and S is for Space) are collections of short stories, originally published in various SF and mainstream magazines.
There are some brilliant, original, and highly memorable stories among them. Both collections are still well worth reading.
Thank you. I did a search on Bard Mobile (the blind guy free audiobook service) for his book titles, but I suppose none of those made the cut as of yet.
I am blind. I dictated my original post and this response, leaving me vulnerable to the whims of the iPhone for misspellings. Though I try to proofread, it can be unworkably tedious to go character by character in doing so.
Skald! I was just thinking about you, wondering how you were.
Yes, the first response is the correct one. Although, if I understand correctly, they were “juvenile” in the sense of “Here’s a collection of Ray Bradbury stories that younger readers might appreciate” rather than “Here’s a book that Bradbury specifically wrote for kids.”
Hey Skald, hope you don’t mind a dedicated fan suggesting something: why don’t you add something like that to your sig? Save everyone some time and most importantly, less hassle for you.
“This post was dictated using voice recognition software, and I can’t be bothered to clean up every typo and misspelling for the likes of you. Don’t complain about these minor errors if you know what’s good for you.”
[There’s someone at work who needs to use voice recognition software, and has a similar, though work-appropriate, auto-signature]
As usual, just one step ahead of the Justice League. Nobody tell Aquaman I was here. The fire-trap isn’t ready.
So, don’t tell J’onn J’onzz, either?
Skald is back. Yay!!

Hey Skald.
The virtue of the fire trap is that it is effective against THREE Leaguers, including Plastic Man. Death traps are expensive. Except for the anti-Batman one, of course, which is just a bomb-laden hookerbot in the form of a teenage boy wearing hot pants.
Of course, my plan in the event of an unexpected Wonder Woman attack is to wet my pants and cry like a little girl.
