I mean, I can't judge too harshly. I've snorted drugs off a toilet seat (well, off a business card that was on a toilet seat). But that's because we were in a club and toilet stalls were the only private place.

Anyway my list will wait until tomorrow morning because there was line at the mechanic I usually go to so I couldn't get my state inspection. I'm still gonna go out to the pinball museum afterward and generally plan on doing nothing much tomorrow. :colbert:

I assumed you were voting for a judge with the last name Slaughter. But it still sounds like someone for a Cormac McCarthy book or a 2000AD comic.

I am convinced that the only reason they didn't make him a single father (which it seems like he is excluding Amber Heard's 20 seconds of screen time) was just so they could keep in the "dodges baby pee" joke.

Dune 2 felt like watching Attack of the Clones for the first time again, which I mean as a compliment. Just a full movie of, "wow, there's a totally new and alien image I've never seen before."

JRR Tolkien wrapped it all up in 3 books and that's including like a third of the pages being Tom Bombadil songs written out in full, this should be a lesson to these so-called Dune writers

if you want a great sci fi series that values brevity and wrapping things up quickly, check out Warhammer 40k - The Horus Heresy. How many books are in Dune again? 16? that's CUTE. How big is the biggest book?? page count???

oh ho ho look who didn't read the silmarillion or the lost tales or the hobbit like me, the big old idiot who slogged through those and never wants to hear an elven name ever again




Also Tolkien knew he ended those too quickly and had to add a bunch more in the appendices where some of the best parts reside, like what Gimli and Legolas do and where Merry and Pip are buried.

I mean, look up how many Jack Reacher books there are.
Or Mathew Scudder or Sherlock Holmes. You find a voice you're good at writing and a genre you're good at writing and you just sorta stick with it.

I was curious if Rowling had the record for most books sold and looked up a list. #1 was Shakespeare, but Agatha Christie was tied with him which was pretty impressive. Absolutely dominating at a genre.

And #3 was some British lady who had written 700+ romance novels
