    QOTD; I liked Airwolf, Gary. Cool concept, well executed, etc. TV was just better back in the day. Currently, I know it just ended, but The Wire was the best cable series of all time, in my opinion.

    Coming to see you in Rockville, for the book event!

    I haven’t been watching lately, but I saw the spit bucket we sent you and that brought me out of hiding. What do you have in there? I’m going to guess it’s a sticker promoting your book. Nothing seems like a good guess too, that’s what it was last time you had a “guess what I’m hiding contest.”

    QOTD: Good Eats. It’s witty, it’s informative, and the food really is good. What more could you ask for?

  • The Ben

    Favorite all time would be Futurama. I own every season and the new movie, it’s the only TV show I’ve dished out that many bones for. As for the pumpkin, I know I’ll never guess randomly so I’ll just cop out and say that Gary’s book is in there. We all saw him put it in there dammit!
