Speaker for the Dead

Speaker for the Dead (1986) is a science fiction novel by Orson Scott Card and an indirect sequel to the novel Ender's Game. This book takes place around the year 5270, some 3,000 years after the events in Ender's Game. However, due to relativistic space travel Ender himself (who now goes by his real name Andrew Wiggin or by his title "Speaker for the Dead") is only about 35 years old.

This is the first book to talk about Starways Congress, a high standpoint Legislation for the human colonies. It is the first to fully mention the Hundred Worlds, 100 planets which humans colonized which are tightly intertwined by the xenocided Buggers' old Ansible technology. It also showed Ender's sister's terms for life forms, such as Varelse.

Like Ender's Game, the book won the Nebula Award in 1986,1 and the Hugo Award in 1987,2 making Card the first author in history to win both these awards in two consecutive years. Speaker for the Dead was published in a slightly revised edition in 1991. It was followed by Xenocide and Children of the Mind.

Spackle Ass

Spackle Ass is the result of many hot, wet farts released over a long period of time without wiping. The person with Spackle Ass may feel as if hot spackle (or glue) has been poured in between the ass cheeks, and is usually very uncomfortable. Spackle Ass also happens while running and farting at the same time, or while holding in a shit for a long period of time. The best remedy for Spackle Ass is a hot shower. If not a shower, then a hot, coarse rag usually helps get rid of the Spackle Ass.
