And here's one of Get Cape's videos for Call Me Ishmael. See if you can guess where he ends up ;-)

I'm throwing this open to any book you may have read in 2006. So far my contenders (in no particular order) are ( Read more... )

This comes from 2 the Ranting Gryphon who has been my personal idol for a number of years. Here is his rant about Christmas.
