I've never seen lines like that for a men's room. It made me wanna just go and take a leak on the Big Green Monster. Like I needed much encouragement, anyway....<br /><br />(I kid, sir, I kid!)B-Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717121313061173603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-82046429167670098332009-08-15T01:09:52.912-04:002009-08-15T01:09:52.912-04:00As soon as you held "Alucard" up to the ...As soon as you held "Alucard" up to the camera, I thought of The Monster Squad instantly!<br /><br />While it isn't quite as cool as you had once thought, it is still a very impressive collectible piece. That is something that I would love to own, as I am a collector of anything horror related, form toys to posters, but something like that has a sense of history to it and is not as easy to come by as some little Michael Myers collectible action figure.<br /><br />Yankee fan and all, hope you had fun at Fenway Park. It's a dump, but it's a dump with a whole lot of history and charm behind it. And a whole lotta line leading into the bathrooms!Matt-suzakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215962688591291944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-76957732298030180912009-08-14T21:41:09.527-04:002009-08-14T21:41:09.527-04:00I love the smell of books too!

I think your heirloom is still very special, I bought the Ben Templesmith illustrated Dracula and plan to hand it down to my spawn someday!<br /><br />www.musingcontinuum.comMs Harkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14901608695669018991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-26920656467831023822009-08-14T16:57:44.585-04:002009-08-14T16:57:44.585-04:00I must admit, I'm a little tempted by these el...I must admit, I'm a little tempted by these electronic readers. Not as a way of replacing books outright, but maybe as a cool alternative for storing a whole bunch of disposable mass market paperbacks...B-Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717121313061173603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-59214274738382697732009-08-14T16:47:22.416-04:002009-08-14T16:47:22.416-04:00Nice piece, there B-Sol.

While I don't necessarilly consider myself a collector of books, in that I do not purchase books for their monetary value, but rather the value of their contents, I do get that feeling of excitement when I encounter an old book that is perhaps a first printing. It is like holding a tiny piece of history, especially when it is such an influential book like Dracula.<br /><br />Consistent with my many eccentricities, I do love the smell of books, especially old ones. I suppose my apparent lack of allergies helps in this, or perhaps it had something to do with me hunting for forbidden tomes in my old basement as a kid. To this end, I am a staunch opponent of the electronic books, be they a Kindle or otherwise.<br /><br />Finally, my mother would really appreciate that volume of Dracula. While also not an avide "collector" of books, she does have a penchant for old books, especially science books [she's a chemist]. She has several chemistry and physics books that predate the 20th century, and a few years ago I managed to find a 5 volume set of The Decameron which was printed in the 1750's, and which was amazingly affordable. Unfortunately, it was in German. And it wasn't a first printing either. :^(RayRayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08718037136482754673noreply@blogger.com
