Ok. So since I quit my job and moved cross country I've been lamenting my lack of budget for new books.  Then I found this website

http://www.frugalreader.com

It's free to join, you list books you own that you dont' want anymore and people can use their credits to request them.  You get a free credit for joining and listing a certain number of books (6, I think). When someone requests a book from you, you have to pack it up and ship it - media mail is $1.42 for a paperback - and then when the person receives it you get credit for the book that you can use to request a new one. I've been doing this since August and it's been working out for me - I've shipped about 6 books and gotten about that many as well.  I figured I'd wait to promote it here until I'd given it a try and made sure I didn't get ripped off, since it all pretty much works on the honor system.

The Folly of youth is to think that intelligence is a subsitute for experience. The folly of age is to think that experience is a subsitute for intelligence.

I tried Indiana Jones in space but it is really Itchiana Tchones in Space and he is just not as cool. I want the real thing in Space, not some cheap immitation. But then again, isn't Indiana Jones in space really Hans Solo?

This is very cool
Warning, I think there are some links to not nice places from there, but the contents of the page itself should be clean.

Oooh, those are awesome! I've gotta get one to keep Wickett company! I remember watching Transformers all the time.
Of course, I think, in the last episode I watched, Optimus Prime died.  :'( There was broken glass and raging fire involved... Or maybe it was so traumatic that I only -think- it was the last one I ever saw. Dang, now I'm sad. I'd better go look at the Vader/TIE Fighter toy again...

Needs sound. Funny, wierd, scary.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

I'm new around here, so hopefully you guys won't mind if I make a humble contribution.  

This video is completely random but honestly makes me laugh out loud EVERY TIME.

Okay forgive me.  But here's one more.

These guys act out old school video games in real life and tape it.  Again, very random but pretty funny.  My favorite is the Paper Boy one.
