With some red wine vinegar (no other gross sauces like mayo or whatever) it is perfection. 

Which is why there is a clear age range that is targeted. His marks are skewing easily 20 maybe even 30 years older than the average viewer is going to be makes sure that while they may know of him, they don’t really pay that much attention.

You are right. It isn’t as simple as “ban guns” but when reasonable legislation or even discussion is shut down, people go to the extreme.

Mandatory registration, insurance, licensing, training and accountability will go a long way to help decrease the problems with guns in this country.

Buyback programs combined with

Baby Boomers have the money, and the next generation likely is going to be so disenfranchised with politics they’d rather play on their holo-hoverboards or whatever they do in the far off year of 2025.

No. Most people did not buy into that conspiracy garbage. Most people mourned and hugged their family when they got home after hearing the tragedy that happened. A vocal idiotic minority is at fault here, and they are beyond persistent.

But I will agree that was when hope was lost. We did nothing. We continue to do

This infuriates me to an extreme:

There are ways to work on the problem without taking guns from people that abide by the law.

Except the gun laws in chicago are circumvented by people buying guns across the border. I live in southern WI and every time there is a gun show the amount of IL plates in the parking lots are astounding, lots of chicago flag stickers and people wearing chicago-themed apparel on shoppers too.

People legally buy guns,

I run events at a local gaming/collectibles/comic store. We have gotten a ridiculous amount of people over the years that think they are insanely funny coming in and asking for “Leonard” or “Sheldon”, or basically being idiots, selfies while leaving a mess all over because they are more enamored with being in a “nerd

Wolverine.

Where’s my screenwriting check?

“OH MY GOD! YOU MUST LOVE BBT!”
No...not really my style.
“You are JUST like (Insert characterhere) You must LOVE comic books”
Sigh....
Then they go into full episode recap mode where they feel the need to tell me why I must be just like some character because I have “nerdy” hobbies.


Those are nice platitudes, however not sure how many gang members, murders and rapists you can educate and rehabilitate to fit into a society that values delayed gratification when they have impulse control issues to begin with.

This is further proof we need to re-evaluate our penal system completely. If recidivism rate is that high, we aren’t doing our job as a society to help people when they get out or during their incarceration period. 76.9 of drug offenders being arrested again should be a MASSIVE hint that we need to get our shit

This was a reasonably common thing, strange as it seems today. My mother worked for a liqour store in the 60's and early 70's, so her and her kids from that marriage collected tons of liquor bottles and beer cans. Some of the more unique liquor bottles are worth a considerable amount. I’d be fascinated to learn why

This is partially true. The formats they can be played in are not really growing player-wise or supported to the point where buying cards is worth it financially.
When the top prize you can win is $5 to $10k, it isn’t worth it to drop $10k on a deck for the format. If you can do that without worrying, then you don’t

Absolutely, and in your hobby market, the lack of arcades makes people nostalgic for their youth. Believe me there are some I would love to get my hands on myself. (Real Ghostbusters, Gremlins - unreleased)

Basically this happens because for most print media (Magazines, mass market books, comics has a very low per-item cost, so often when a retailer has a return agreement with the publisher, say they will give you back 50% of what you paid for each copy unsold at the end of a specific time frame of a title, the publisher

The fun thing is if people would have thought the game was going to be a big deal, and held on to their cards, didn’t shuffle roughly and didn’t toss some cards in the trash at Gen Con when it launched after playing a few games, the cards wouldn’t be worth anything now.

Good to know about calibre. I think I used to use it on my mac to convert to mobi. Curious, where do you buy your books? I have a hard time paying full kindle prices these days, and I haven’t kept up with what sites are reliable for getting reasonably priced books. 

I need to do this, since my ebooks are all scattered amongst a couple devices and older kindles, etc. Probably will need to get a ton of them again as I am sure some of the old devices don’t work anymore.
