I know. There was a book based on the movie. Several, aimed at different age groups. I had a few of them. As you can see, I have a weakness for small, furry animals that I have only recently acknowledged consciously. Boy, that therapy is paying off.

I loved the novelization of ET when I was a kid (I loved the movie and I loved D&D, and the book opened with some references to D&D spells like Portable Hole, which I thought was cool…and there were no Reese's Pieces!).

You bought D-Quon's Dance Groove on VHS instead, right?

It was either "boob poop" or "penis toecheese."
