What a weirdly sad kind of thing to speculate about!  And the results prove it.

A tepid bath is best for that obviously sensitive skin of yours.  Non-Dom X - tap water sold as something special!

Saw Forrest gump what?

You don't mention which is your favorite.  "Cops & Robbers" maybe?

You've, in a truly TZ manner, confused Crowley (quite the bon vivant in his youth) with Richard Nixon, perhaps the definition of what a lonely and sad human being could be.

Moby Dick

Sounds like the title of an early Coen Bros. movie to me.

As several comments have pointed out, there is definitely a "clockwork universe" in BB, but it is built into Walt's character, not the show's universe.

Indeed!  He was a shitty baseball player, while Willie Mays was just as poor a playwright, and you just as mediocre a troll.

Not nearly as good as the book.

"I want… to fight… the lion!"

As thousands will also be saying: penguins do NOT come from the arctic!

I have trouble with how people define the word "era" itself.  It's a "As Mason said to Dixon" thing, done in hindsight, and always with a particular (and often rather unpleasant) agenda.

C'mon!  It wasn't really very big.

By all reputable accounts, Heller DID "smell like poo" but how does that impact on his writing?
