Ask post: Don't read me a bedtime story.

Someone already mentioned him but I will say again Rob Inglis reads the hell out of The Lord of the Rings.

Ask post: Moives under 90 minutes

God, showing Bubba Ho-Tep to a room full of people with early dementia. I'd probably get my name in the paper.

Well, we can go smaller if need be. Size isn't everything.

We can use jpg's. Trying to use Word documents was unpossible from the getgo.

Ask post: Now you lose your head!

I did it while getting off in the Marines because those things are scary as hell when they are whizzing over your head. It's the same reaction a pitcher has when a batter lines a ball five feet over his head.

Also, when you exit off the back and they say make sure you turn right because if you turn left you will die when you walk into the rear rotor I can guarantee you that it is physically impossible to turn left. Your brain won't let you.

Ask post: Engrossing books that make you think until it hurts a little bit.

Right now the new book "Human Smoke" by Nicholson Baker has been in my head constantly. It stands everything you know about the run up to WWII and shows you how little you really know.

Ask post: Autmatic eBay notifications by email

I've done RSS feeds for several different searches. If you can create a search for it, eBay will RSS it for you. I got one going Rod Carew's appearances in magazines and trunks being sold within 50 miles of Charlotte. Any search you do you can look at the bottom of the page and you will see an RSS symbol. It works great.
