I found a copy of ‘Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ yesterday at a used book store for a dollar and change, which makes me tremendously happy because I can’t find the house copy and I have at least two people I’ve been meaning to lend it to. I’ve been meaning to lend it to them […]

FAVORITE CHOCOLATE BARS OF SUPERHEROES Superman: Whatchamacallit (he thinks it’s a funny name even now.
