But it is addictive and allows me to see the future. And the future is Doritos.

The all blue eyes are pretty cool too.

I think we should all go have a beer and discuss why it should be banned.

Book, movie or TV miniseries?

The movie was awful (and I have DVDs of two versions of it), the TV miniseries was adequate but silly at times and the book is one of the few I go back to reread every few years.

Because somebody, somewhere might be enjoying themselves. So it has to be taxed, regulated, or banned.
