    Don't you have to pay for most commodities? I don't get it.

    You can steal news?

    I didn't know that, say, The New York Times has some sort of copyright regarding Michael Jackson's death.

    Like the recording industry, the newspaper industry needs someone to blame besides their executives and money-hungry stockholders, who are canablizing their product to keep short-term earnings high.

    Half a year? It only felt like that, I've heard.

    Soooo, let me get this straight you go to the clink for pirating the movies, not for buying them for $5 on Canal Street, right?


    I just need to know where to do my shopping is all.

    @Mount_Prion: Good work. One of my hobbies is coming up with euphemisms for masturbation. "Leaking of the Love Guru" works really well. Most of mine don't make any sense. Anyway, gotta go. I'm off to "take the sad clown to the oncologist."

    In reply to If You Steal His Books, Stephen King Will Mock You
    It's very helpful for a writer who is past his Sell By date, like that Ellison, to pretend his work is worth stealing. He can think down in his remnant carpeted basement, man, ten million readers, unfortunately all thieves.


    A certain upscale ivy has never been pressured to drop its AA policy. It sees thirty thousand applicants, accepts ten, tells the rest they were only just aced out by a gay Puerto Rican with a low SAT due to developmental disabilities. Ah cudda been a contender, they muse forevermore in a JC somewhere.

    Honestly? I think he was referring to the fact that the people he'd be trying to catch are more than likely without funds (read: deep pockets), not to mention the fact that he's probably making fun of himself by saying that's the kind of person who reads his schlock.

    You'd think the author of Misery would know better than to piss off his fans, especially basement-dwelling rednecks.

    @Aaron Altman: Sorry, my wording was deBates-able.


    I just think redneck is the image he was going for. Obviously eating funyuns and having poor basement carpeting doesn't make one a redneck--but it does seem to be the traits of King's classic redneck schlub characters (in his movies at least).


    God, I've seen Misery so many times, you'd think I could make a better Annie Wilkes joke.
