Re: Books we read in 2024
Don't Fear the Reaper - Stephen Graham Jones. This is the sequel to one of my favorite books from a couple of years ago, My Heart is a Chainsaw. And while I loved that book, this one... not so much. I just can't figure out who this book is for. Quick premise: we're back in Proof Rock, Idaho where t...

Re: Guess the Proper English Gentleman Lyric
Good fellow, it appears that the warden, in a moment of uncharacteristic bonhomie, decided to host a social gathering within the confines of the local correctional facility. And, by George, the prison band was in attendance, and they commenced to play with a level of enthusiasm and vigor that could...

Baby Reindeer- Has anyone else seen this? I'm halfway through this british "comedy" about a man being stalked by a mentally disturbed woman. This shit is getting dark fast. But I haven't finished it yet, although I suspect it's going to get even darker.
