Yeah, this movie is a tough one. She might do better with the book? It’s one of my favorite reads, but I’m an only, so I don’t have any skin in the game, so to speak.

Detail of a late 13th century altarpiece by a Catalan artist known as the Master of Soriguerola. It shows St George fighting the dragon, but because of the position of George’s long spear and small round shield, it looks like the dragon is biting a banjo

It’s a little known fact that St George and the Dragon were originally flatmates, and their dispute started when the Dragon decided he couldn’t stand listening to George’s shitty banjo-playing for another second.

In 1996, two neighbours in Devon, England, spent an entire year hooting at each other while believing they were communicating with owls.

Perfectly normal beginning to every great Dartmoor love story, in my experience.

My kid sister, a millennial, is a tattoo artist and for awhile HP tattoos were all the rage. I need to ask her if she’s ever been asked to do a cover-up.

Paperback edition of Hunter Thompson's book - "Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72"

Red background, white lettering, and a monstrous illustration by Ralph Steadman, representing the death of of American democracy.  Sort of.

"The main problem in any democracy is that crowd-pleasers are generally brainless swine who can go out on a stage & whup their supporters into an orgiastic frenzyβ€”then go back to the office & sell every one of the poor bastards down the tube for a nickel apiece."
