Where do you live again?   Today, after work, I plan on marching (yes 
marching) right up to the customer service department of both Borders in my 
area and lodging formal complaints.  Wait, its Wednesday.  Comic book day.  I 
guess it'll have to wait 'till tommorrow.  I better check the magazine rack 
too before I groo (the verb:to groo).

Hey!  That gives me an idea.  Maybe we should start up some formal lobbying 
campaign to get said verb into Webster's.  Whaddya all think?

---------------->Some of my fondest memories from childhood-going to the drug 
(double entendre) store to get my fix.  I still remember the picking up my 
first super-hero comic book (Avengers #118) at the tender age of two.  I know 
I had Disney, etc. stuff from earlier, but I have no actual memory of getting 
them (I think my mom picked them out for me).  But that Avengers book blew my 
young fragile eggshell mind (blatant theft of a phrase).  Anyhow, that 
pharmacy is now a lock store.  Maybeprobably they should have kept on selling 
comic books...

Later,
A
