We just posted s**tty Movie Showdown! episode 2 on YouTube. It features Thrashin' (1986) vs. Witchery (1988). Which one is worse?

Also: consider sleep apnea. TRUST ME, it can drag you down! Back in 07 I took a sleep test to find out why I wanted to fall asleep while driving! Great decision for me. Feeling a lot better since I got my new machine.

Actually, I do have sleep apnea.  Or at least I did (probably do again.)  I was using a CPAP machine, then I went through a period where I couldn't use but had lost a lot of weight (not exactly voluntarily) but I apparently didn't snore in my sleep anymore.  The problem is my machine is broke, and the local medical supply says they can't repair it because it's out of date, I'd have to buy a new one, which is about $600, which is about $550 more than what I currently have.  (Still haven't been able to find a job since the last place I worked at fired me.)

So, not quite sure how to fix that...  

That was a little scary, cause I realized if the site did go down for an extended period (for whatever reason), I'd have no way to get ahold of anyone here.

:(

Yeah-but this election is fixed-remember? 
Actually-I think Trump may win.  And if Hillary wins I'll still have the sad blue face. 

Nearly every time, the popular vote winner also wins the Electoral College - but it all depends on how the votes fall state by state.  All but a few states do "winner take all" where the statewide winner of the popular vote gets all of that state's electoral votes.  But the number of electoral votes per state is based on how many Senators and representatives they have - and the number of representatives is based on population!

You can move this to solved.   

Well-I don't think Trump will win. If he gets the popular vote really doesn't matter. The Republicans don't even like Trump-and THIS is why he will not win-

I just finished SAMURAI: THE LAST WARRIOR by John Man. 
I lived in Japan for over 3 years, but somehow I never heard of the great revolt in 1877 led by Saigo Takamori.  This samurai warrior, who was a cabinet member of the great Emperor Meiji, led a fruitless rebellion against the modernization of Japan which failed utterly, got him and all his followers killed, and somehow made him into a national hero.  Man blends the narrative of Saigo's life with the story of the samurai class and their place in feudal Japan in a lively, readable story that is entertaining and informative at the same time.  Great read!

I picked up six more books this week, and a DVD pack with 13 movies, including a bunch of Full Moon pics from the 1990's.
I think I have just about cleaned out their history section of all the titles I wanted.  The shelves are more and more bare every time I go in.

God, I am going to miss that store SO much . . . 

No contest whatsoever.  WORMS CAN'T READ BOOKS!!! I wouldn't last a day.
