        The sweet sweet g spot. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 12:24
        
        that's generally what they mean when they refer to the difference between city and highway driving, IIRC -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 12:21 2
        
        (Of course, hybrids have a backwards version of that association, but that's not what we're talking about) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 12:22 1

Things I learned from B2 - Spawn eats shaving cream with fruit. -- nm - sycor Apr 8, 12:03 29
- I did not eat the shaving cream stuff. Remlik bought two cups as part of our snacks for the NCAA Championship (debacle) game. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 12:05 2
  - are you sure it wasn't whipped cream? I mean, shaving cream cannot taste good. -- nm - sycor Apr 8, 12:07 1
    - Maybe. Same dif. - Spawn Apr 8, 12:08
- and TWuG and I agree on Stephen King. - sycor Apr 8, 12:04 25
  - I felt that way about King until I read Barker and Koontz. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 12:06 24
    - early Barke was the best - I enjoy some of recent stuff but damn he took a left - Epiphany Apr 8, 12:22
    - I much prefer Koontz. It took me two years to read Insomnia. - sycor Apr 8, 12:08 22
      - I loved his stuff at first but stopped reading Koontz as he was too formulaic for me. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 12:18 1
        
        yeah, i enjoy them well enough while I'm reading it, but then i forget everything that i just read, it's all 'the same,' -- nm - Andie Apr 8, 12:39
      - Love: Twilight, Lightning, Phantoms, Midnight by Koontz, his new stuff is James patterson rushed trash -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 12:15 1
        
        "mostly" -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 12:16
      - I read Insomnia in a couple days. Quickest read was Dead Zone and Thinner. The book It seemed to take forever. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 12:10 15
        
        I tore through Insomnia as well. And It is my all time favorite King novel. So nice, I read It twice. -- nm - Jim Apr 8, 12:19 14
        
        you sir are CRAZY - Epiphany Apr 8, 12:20 13
        
        here's the thing, i know i've read it, but i can't tell you the plot. it must have been boring. -- nm - Andie Apr 8, 12:24 2
        
        *spoils* - Epiphany Apr 8, 12:37 1
        
        oh, right. wow, that sounds only vaguely familiar. i must not have bothered retaining it at all. -- nm - Andie Apr 8, 12:38
        
        You, my dear, have no heart. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 12:22 9
        
        I consider it the " menoch the devil" of Kings books - Epiphany Apr 8, 12:24 8
        
        It was a love story. Guess you don't like those. What did you think about The Dead Zone? -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 12:26 6
        
        Dead Zone was amazing - I liked the love story in it - it seemed real and troubled. Before and after Insomnia - he could do no wrong in my eyes - Epiphany Apr 8, 12:34
        
        Dead Zone was the first King I read. My mom gave it to me when I was in jr high school, I think. -- nm - Jim Apr 8, 12:30 4
        
        It is my fave, by far. - Spawn Apr 8, 12:30 3

Funny Pet Cemetary story: at University it was #2 of our "skip class to watch for the 15th time" movies (Tremors being the #1). - Beaker Apr 8, 11:57 11
- Did not like that movie one bit. LOVED the book though. Scariest book I've ever read. -- nm - Jim Apr 8, 11:58 10
  - As I have said, I named my kitty Pascow because of it. - Spawn Apr 8, 12:04
  - that's the thing with a lot of King's works .... great on paper, but loses something in translation to the big sreen -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Apr 8, 12:01 7
    - Yep. There's a small handful that have been good. nm - Jim Apr 8, 12:02 6
      - and most of those tend to be short stories, not novels. i think the interior dialogue in the books provides most of the tension and a lot of - Andie Apr 8, 12:05 5
        
        I can get on board with that. Some of the decisions they make with the movies boggle the mind though. I mean, Running Man? - Jim Apr 8, 12:06 4
        
        Give the movie producers credit. Very much accurately predicted the Reality Show Contest as cultural touchstone. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 8, 12:17 1
        
        So did the book...they didn't have to butcher the book to have the same message. -- nm - Jim Apr 8, 12:19
        
        and furthermore ... some of his works, when put into film, suddenly become campy and farsicle... - i'm not dead yet ! Apr 8, 12:17
        
        awesome! -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 12:07
  - Shining was my scariest (and the movie wasn't good, just cracked us up for some reason :) ) -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 12:00

I think every season of Archer is going to have a "onesie" type of joke. Last night was it for season two. -- nm - David Apr 8, 11:53 5
- Refresh my memory, what's the onesie joke? And I forgot to set the DVR for this now that I'm not OnDemand with Comcast. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 8, 11:58 4
