I didn't actually read any Stephen King until a few years later, but I remember one of my 4th grade classmates got his hands on his dad's copy of Pet Sematary and we all passed it around to marvel at the wonder of the word "fuck" in a book.

I assumed that was the whole reason this thing was even posted…

Hard to believe I've been saying "Fatty McGee, you're the fattest!" every time someone I know is wheezing and out of breath (my wife in particular is not a fan of this routine) for 20 years. What the hell happened to me, indeed.

A while back I was buying a handful of records at a Goodwill store and the lady tried to charge me $1.49 for EACH of the LPs in a double album (it was a K-Tel Hank Williams compilation!). After much debating with her over whether it was one or two records, I realized that I was arguing with an old lady working for a

It was only Tasha, but still…

Lifesavers lost me as a customer when I bought a "Sweet Storybook" for my wife's Christmas stocking a few years ago (yes, we're fully grown adults, and no, we didn't have children at the time) and it only had Lifesavers in one side of the book.

OK, you lost me at marshmallow (and I now understand why I've never had one. Man, fuck marshmallows).

Well, it's Toronto so probably a lot of people standing with their arms crossed, trying to look like they're too cool to be impressed by anything and applauding politely after every song?

See, this is where we differ – I'll take lemon over lime any day.

What the shit are circus peanuts anyway? I was always under the impression that they were like, actual peanuts, but everyone here is referring to them as candy.

This post right here.
I've always hated Skittles, so I don't know why I'm outraged by this but god damn it green apple is a terrible candy flavour. I hate picking what I think is a lime sucker only to be hit in the tastebuds with that shitty fake apple taste.

Huh. Was not aware of that one.

I don't think I've ever read one of these where it didn't seem like the interviewee was genuinely enjoying talking with Will – either he's been incredibly lucky or he's really fucking good at his job.

Yeah, I'm slowly chugging through book two now and it's been a bit of a slog reading something I've already watched. Especially the first one, which was incredibly close to the show (and I ended up watching most of that season twice, so I've really had enough of it for the moment).

@Patrick_Batman:disqus When I was growing up we had this really mean little killing machine of a cat who didn't like anyone except for me – anyone else so much as tried to pet her and she'd hiss and take a swipe at them. But me? I used to wear her on my head like a coonskin cap and she'd purr for hours.

I'm actually a pretty big fan of that first Blind Melon album. I mean, I don't ever need to hear the bee girl song again, but the rest of it is some solid Skynyrd-meets-Pearl Jam southern-ish rock.

Yeah, I remember seeing the video on MuchMusic a bunch of times but I don't think I ever heard it on the radio… not nearly as ubiquitous as a lot of terrible '90s singles.

I'm seriously doing this thing… Smacky, you should get a shared folder notification shortly… if you don't have Dropbox installed on your system you should be able to access it through your web browser.

I have the same passive aggressive response "Oh, you think I'm going slow, huh? How'd you like going this slow?"
