Collected Works
Some little boys collect army figures; others, baseball cards. They, I imagine, would, in their teens, embrace an open interest in guns, or sports. As a kid, I wanted nothing to do with guns, and the only sports I liked were jump-roping and tetherball, “soft-contact” sports that did not require talent or hand-eye coordination

do you get kicked out of the hip gay la crowd if they find out you made a Brewster's Millions reference?

have you considered applying for a writing job at woot.com?

Oh, that stamp is more than a Brewster's Millions reference.. actually, it was in the news recently, I guess some collector bought up as many as he could and a particular stamp sold for some incredulous amount at Sotheby's. I used to know the name of it, too, but I can't remember.

But, I would probably get kicked out of whatever hip crowd I'm in, if I were in a hip crowd. I'd kick me out for that.

What is woot.com?

go read it for 1 minute. if you haven't figured it out, let him ask again.

It is for electronics, but the reviews are comical...?

It seems so counterintuitive that they would have a tongue-in-cheek review of a sub-woofer, but I guess no one can lament that the descriptions, if you will, "read like stereo instructions."

read it every day for a week and you'll see. or just read the history

the "sales pitch" every day is basically you.
they don't sell just electronics. they sell one thing every day.
it's often computer/electronics, but often it's not.
