She was the previous owner of the store, and was fairly old, so I'm assuming she's retired but god willing I'll never step foot in that store again to find out.

I was working at Barnes & Noble about 15 years ago and the importance they were putting on the Nook was nuts. Especially because I worked at a college book store they'd recently bought, so 99.9% of the people who came in just wanted to buy their textbooks and leave. Made worse because they had...

If you like Stephen King, have read a lot of his books, and would be interested in how they all connect it's probably worth it. They were probably my greatest love (of books) as a teenager but when I reread them a few years ago the apple had lost a lot of its shine. There are still some great...

I think Pet Semetary is the better book but 'Salem's Lot gets a lot of affection from me just because it leads to one of my favorite moments of all King's writing, toward the end of The Dark Tower.

An unpleasant word to my ears. The other two listed in that wiki article sound better. TIL Shakespeare invented soul food.* *technically true fact framed in a disingenuous way

This has a big up over the one I usually make (Alton Brown's) in that it doesn't take nearly as long. AB's calls for at least two weeks.

The only constant is I always, and probably will always, start my campaigns in an inn. I might change it to whatever the equivalent would be when that doesn't make sense, like a cafe on a college campus, but when I started playing a friend of a friend scoffed and rolled their eyes at my first...

Currently seeing news articles about one of the two biggest industries in my home town being bent over a barrel because over the state of international trade at the moment. It's too bad no one could have seen this coming.

I'm one of those people. I also have green hair and plot to steal presents from Whoville.

Hbomberguy made a pretty good video about them a few years ago.

I'm expecting it to be terrible, but then I also expected DCC to be terrible, so maybe it'll surprise me again.

That's a pretty lazy tie in, at least make up a new flavor. I've gotten tricked into eating a few of the Mr Beast branded things over the years and they're usually...fine.

I had a teacher in high school who was struck by lightning twice. He was an odd guy. I'm not sure how much that had to do with the lightning though. He had been married four times, wife two made up half of those, and I believe at some point over the last 19 years they got divorced and...

I think When We Were Wizards gets into some of the specific figures for the Hollywood years, I remember someone mentioning that mansion he rented costing about 10k a month in rent.

Tara actually celebrates her 16th birthday a few issues before it all kicks off.

I sat down and read "The Judas Contract" for the first time today and despite hearing people talk about it for as long as I've been reading comics I did not know Slade was sleeping with Tara. I can definitely see why DC would drop that in modern retellings.

My character died last night, the first time it's happened to me in Draw Steel. When it happened I was very frustrated with the system, because it largely came from another playing wanting to take their turn and then not doing anything because of conditions and positioning. But after I thought...

If you keep reading the series, be prepared for this criticism to keep coming up.

There are big chunks of the internet that view it as a space where you don't have to interact with people the way you would offline, being rude to people is part of the appeal for them.
