it's not zany like the guide, it should feel more sardonic like banks

it's probably better than that d&d book but don't read the sequels

everyone always forgets about chase "the d'abo girl" masterson

and on the subject of brit actors grabbing that paycheck theres also bob "super mario brothers" hopkins and sean "zardoz" connery. its a working class profession and you take the work youre offered. michael caine on his lucrative role in jaws iii: "I have never seen the film, but by all accounts it was terrible. However I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific." you tell 'em, mike.
