What are you shocked about?

I'll be honest: I've never understood the concept of dark/black comedy. The whole concept of people being hurt/injured/killed doesn't amuse me at all.

Tried it a little while ago; seemed like a parody version of Vikings. Didn't appreciate the humour, so stopped after about 5-10 minutes.

I have my boiler instructed to keep the house at 20 degrees (room temperature) at all times. At this time of year, the effort to get there means it is running for most of the day, apparently.

I really love this song: it's a rendition of The Song of Durin from The Lord of the Rings

Can't say I'm a fan. The last couple of days were a bit unreasonable.

Cheers for the write-up, Snowy. I never thought of Lovecraft's protagonists fainting as a total loss of sanity points before, but that's an excellent way to regard it. Are we happy to move on to The Dunwich Horror ? I realise Sly has read this already (albeit a few months ago) and if I'm understandi...

It's probably one of the most depressing and horrible realities of the world, if not the most. I don't want anyone to suffer in any way for any reason, b...

Onion Rings. One of my favourite foods.

That makes sense; I think copies of the first printing must be running low all over, which is why the remaining copies are being sold at a higher than normal price, but because of sufficient demand it's due for a reprint next year.

Don't forget this guy...
