What's the most copies of a single book do you have?

I have four paperback editions of "Different Seasons" (Including the Movie Tie-in that I gave to my then girlfriend, and that she gave back when we broke up!).

I mean, my only objection to the Pet Sematary cover is the "Major Motion Picture" blurb.

I've got bigger problems. I just saw a "40th Anniversary Edition of "The Running Man" and I can't decide if I need it.

I have the Uncut Stand in that particular edition.

But at least I got it cheap... :-)

I'm telling you, the LEGO builder app is a game changer.

You can rotate the assembly pictures 360 degrees.

My buddy swears by Hot and Sour Soup when he's sick.

He calls it "Magic Soup."
there should be a restaurant where you can just get broth to go for when youโ€™re sick. like, really good broth.

I've got the paperback copy with that cover art.

It was falling apart, so I taped it back together.

My favorite King until "It" came along.

Velociraptors going to velociraptor.

They might be antagonists but I wouldn't call them villains.

If I had any common sense at all I would be in bed within the next 20 minutes.

Not for that; for sleep, you pervs.

Although I wouldn't say no to "that."

"I'm not going to stay where I'm not comfortable"

Well, you were comfortable enough for the seven months you didn't have a job and we gave you money for shit. When we said "Time to get a job" all of a sudden you weren't comfortable anymore...

By all means, "Fandango at Home," explain to me how "Gorillas in the Mist" is in any way, shape, or form "like" "The Babysitter." Other than they were both movies....

(Then again, you have "Gorillas" listed as a "documentary" So maybe just move along....

Nothing to see here...)

Set a 90 min timer after starting the washer.

Worked out well.

Now as far as folding and putting away, that's another story.

Ok, I'm a huge Paul Simon fan, where would you suggest I start with Mr. Cockburn?

I'll tell you, I saw the OG video for this song on MTV in the late 1980's and thought it was one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

Listening to this? I was an ignorant fool back then. (On a number of levels.) Time to dig in to the catalogue...

It may have been the first time I actually enjoyed Damien.

But I wasn't crazy about the flying batmobile.
