The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.

8675309 is prime, and so is 8675311, so if you ever need a middlin'-large pair of adjacent primes to test your cryptographic suite, all you need is a 1980s earworm and a +2 and you're all set.

The cover shows the title, Walt Disney's Donald Duck in Christmas on Bear Mountain. Donald, Huey, Dewey, and Louie are watching as a giant teddy bear opens a Christmas gift and is annoyed to see he has gotten a teddy bear.

In this pinup, Magica is standing on a defeated Scrooge McDuck, holding his lucky dime in one hand and her wand in another. All around her are various scenes of her either battling Scrooge or casting spells.
