Is Andy Riley gay?
Cougar21
The reason I became a member is because a friend gave me a book for
Christmas by an author name Martin Bartloff. I'm not suicidal or
anything and I only known of a handful of people who committed suicide
who were really close friends or anything.
Then I read Bartloff's book called "Torn From Normal" and I got a real
wake up call. I have never cried watching a sad movie, but reading
this Young Adult fiction novel made me sob like a baby. Pretty much
Torn From Normal deals with the life of seventeen-year-old Andy who
loses both his parents in the story. This book has a 5 star rating on
Amazon and Bartloff's reviews are stunning.
I wonder if the book is based on a true story. Bartloff devoted a page
with suicidal hotlines in the very back of the book . Has anybody else
here read it, or heard of it by any chance?

I found the message incomprehensible. It read as the narcissistic
blatherings of someone who thinks the world revolves around him.,
i.e., that everybody experiences the Internet exactly the same way
he does.
And why should I give a rat's ass if Andy Riley is gay? I don't even
know (nor care) who he is.

No you didn't. The message was "I posted to this group because I was
hoping someone here could tell me if this guy is gay". According to
Google, Andy Riley is some sort of cartoonist. The question was lame, but
hardly incomprehensible.

I thought the question was about Andy Riley, the fictional character in
the book _Torn from Normal_. If there was a double meaning to the
question I didn't get it!
