That's going to make for one sad tombstone.

The only time I've really felt sorry for Sean Connery.

If none of the sharks make the Wilhelm Scream I hope somebody else does.

I'm pretty sure this is the same interview sans paywall:

The Last Article - Wikipedia

Growing up, I subscribed to a couple of monthly science fiction magazines, and a few stories really stuck with me. There was one where the Nazis win Europe, and then India; Gandhi tries nonviolence. He and his followers are executed.

I saw part of this when I was maybe 9 but couldn't handle it. Didn't see how it ended until a couple of years ago.
Darn Martians. Scaring little kids.

Should I send my address?
No, wait. We're two blocks from the library.

For a second I thought this was The Last Rung on the Ladder.

Bluuch. Get better soon, and in the meantime I hope your brain makes some entertaining choices for you.

I'm just glad their roads have TP. Some highways you can go for hours without a single rest stop.

Your haiku needs work
Water on a heron's back
And the fish vanish.

Back at Whitman I barely knew that autism existed. Having an autistic daughter has made me wonder about a lot of us back then.

My company put lot of of effort into finding and furnishing an office which was large enough for our needs and close enough to mass transit. A month ago they sold it off because only two people were going in.

I went through a Godspell phase in junior high, even memorizing both parts of All For the Best, but I think I learned more from The Phantom Tollbooth.

When I was in the fifth grade, I heard a backstory speech from my uncle Kevin, about how hard it is to drive a bus, and ever since then I've been obsessively trying to become a bus driver just to show him I could do it. I'd say that's really all there is to my personality.

Helicopters overhead for the last hour. I used to worry that they were looking for criminals. Now I worry that they're looking for innocent people.

I read you can unlock the capybara and some of the puzzles are different.

After that I damn well better get a natural 20.

Very fine detail at that size. You should make this one a bookmark too and do another in 27 years.

From IMDB, that sounds, at least, creepy as hell. Might have to check it out some day.

I'm gonna call you on this--name just one! Ideally family-friendly but doesn't have to be.

The Strangler's Wife doesn't count.
