Mr. Winch

A sociopath whose only lasting legacy will be the near-universal sigh of relief when he finally dies.

On one hand I'm like "war is not the answer." On the other, I'm like (to the Ukrainians): "Make them bleed for every inch gained."

Either Tango & Cash or The Last Boy Scout. That switch from the end of the 80s to the start of the 90s was a confusing time.

"You are the monsters you are so afraid of. Let go of your fear, and join us in the light. And if you will not… if you keep imprisoning and killing innocents, if you keep forcing the world to stay in the dark… then you will meet the fate of all the slavers and murderers in the worlds' history before you. We will free those you keep imprisoned. We will rescue those you try to kill. The Garden is the Serpent's place. We are the Serpent's Hand." -M, SCP Foundation

Giving: I translated a foreign language short story to the recipient's own language and printed it out. For legal reasons, I won't tell you which story. Receiving: a fan anthology where another friend has a story published.

Book of the Dead by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. Slow starter and horribly distracting grammar,

Just finished a Destroyer spinoff book. Pretty good. There was a promo for the next one coming in the series and now I have to wait. Stupid arrow of time.

Convention date from September 15th pushed back to spring next year to maximise promotion and participation. And it worked, I'm deinatelyf there then.

If I do, the photo thread will be titled Mr Winch Goes to Washington. (actually Hampton but not as witty) If.

Why was the homerelease re-titled Avengers Assemble ? I keep thinking it was so as not to confuse with the other Avengers of catsuits and multifunctional umbrellas fame but then my brain crashes into the stupidity barrier.
