The Chronicle of Higher Ed has an article about the persistence of Goth.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
ARCs are going out this week.
I hide under bed now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh, while on the train today I caught a glimpse of a woman on the platform with a cool skirt. It was white, mid-length and loose, and it had this printed pattern in black on it. Now I only caught a quick glimpse from the train, but the pattern printed on the skirt looked like a whole bunch of dog paw-prints all over it. I suppose the pattern might have been something else, like a black flower pattern or something, but if it was dog paw prints then it was really cool....

Advance readers!!! Those are so much fun!
From the bookseller's perspective--we always loved rifling through them for interesting books to read. If they came with toys, even better! I still have the pair of pink fuzzy dice that came with the Stephen King book that was about the killer car (not Christine, but the one that came out about 7-8 years ago).

Stephen King wrote more than one killer-car book?

Wasn't the other one "Something Something a Buick Eight"?

From a Buick 8 was an e-book he wrote a while back. It's actually quite good, something I never thought I'd say about a King horror novel again.

It was an e-book? I swear I saw it in a book store. I remember the Buick on the cover....
Of course, I loved Christine when it came out - I read the thing nonstop, cover to cover. Although I did note that Plymouth did not make a four-door Fury in 1958....

I adored From a Buick 8, which is not what I expected. One of the best he's done this decade.
