Painfully waiting for the boxed set to get to me later this year. I’m tempted to use the Brandan Method and drop kick an old lady for an individual copy.
Yeah this Zo person is my nemesis right now. Fuck.
Once upon a time, the 🪳 was the most hated bug of all.
But nonetheless, Zo outdid me.
(as a person who has a permanent case of reoccurring Bells Palsy and never had Lyme disease, not once tested positive, I really shoulda known better lol. Reoccurring Bells is basically half my face does what it wants when it wants. I'm sorry you have Lyme tho. Thank God that's one thing I can't write about......I'll stick to my maladies tyvm!)
Supposedly I was tested and retested. I'm not worried bout that. I've have more accidents and I smoked 2 pks day for 3 decades. I may be 49 year old female but them accidents make me a 79 year male on the inside. My body makes no estrogen so I act, think, probably walk like a guy........
I identify as a man trapped in a woman's body.
I'm also kinda weird. It must be all the times I hit my head. Lol
P.S. I have an 8 lb. miniature Shit zu named Holly. She'll be 11 in January and she has Lymes and it sucks so bad. I do know people who have it but my real empathy comes from knowing what my dog goes through............
If by “picked up a copy” you mean drop kicking an old lady who had the last copy at the bookstore and then running out of said bookstore with said last copy then yes, yes I picked up a copy.
A pleasant surprise, didn't expect you'd pick my eternally over-optimistic gamble on humans. Its really nice to think of novels/movies as requirements for living, and inspiration to be good. Not just as an escape.
However, I better not get too excited. You never know what you gonna get with Moroccan customs. It happened to me few weeks ago, when I ordered The Tales of Cacophony book ( Of all books ffs), it didn't pass the customs. Fingers crossed this time.
Archer said it well but, my take on it is simple. The zone may also represent some form of paradise syndrome. With all its promises of wish fulfillment, and despite of the characters being consciously aware of what they're seeking, once in the room, they find out they really had no clue what their innermost desires were. And it made them unhappy. Their souls were crushed. The human need for answers is met with a cold contradicting world. My guess is that Tarkovsky's fix for this problem might be faith.
Just double checking. If I send the package to "Rabbi-Iblis" will it reach you? Often people use avatar names that don't match their mailing address names. Please let me know. Thanks.
Congratulations to winners. May your package be extra spooky. No those aren't Portland hitchhikers' skeletons in your packages they're from Seattle. The weak ankles give them away.
A reminder. Only six of the nine winners have sent their addresses. Most of those six will ship today. The rest on Monday. If you get me your address via The Cult, I can ship your prize on Monday as well. chuck

As someone who suffers from Lyme I like the tick idea. Congrats everyone!

Congratulations Zo and everyone else!
Did you get tested for all Lyme Co-infections? eg bartonella, babesia, etc. Or something viral. If you have recurring BP could be that

I'm glad you enjoyed my nightmare telephone. We are not all too far from the possibility of that kind of psychological warfare...
Congrats to the winners!

My lawyer has advised me to not answer that.
You’re on!
Honestly, I wouldn't sell my soul, I wouldn't lie and no fucking way am I fucking anyone to get anything.
I think I'm an introvert.
Did you kick the old lady in The Road?
Perhaps...
The cries have been vindicated. Thank you.

Yes, the curse is over.
However, I better not get too excited. You never know what you gonna get with Moroccan customs. It happened to me few weeks ago, when I ordered The Tales of Cacophony book ( Of all books ffs), it didn't pass the customs. Fingers crossed this time.
I'm curious what you were getting at. I saw the movie but honestly did not really understand it. Congratulations and thanks!

Thank you to both of you for the explanations. That was certainly an interesting movie

I'll resend my contact info to Dennis. Excitement got me.
Me again. You didn't put a nation with your address. Are you in France? Morocco?
Morocco
Thanks! Please see my last comment.
The folks at my local UPS Store seldom send parcels overseas. It's always a trial.
Done. Thanks for being patient.
Me again. My friends at the UPS Store really struggle with overseas addresses, so if you could break down the address by:
Street and building number
Apartment
District/province/state
City
postal code
nation
Yeah, I know it's a pain, but it might save your package.
On it. In a moment...
Thank you for the extra effort. It will help immensely.
Avatar names probably won't work with overseas shipments.
Yay!! Happy early birthday to me! 🎉
Thank you, Chuck. I am glad that the incessant ear-splitting drone of cicadas made the cut 😄
Congratulations to all the other winners! 🏆
And many thanks to everyone who shared - I enjoyed looking through the entries. 😊
Congrats winners 🥳😁 may you all (& everyone else too) have a happy Halloween 👻
Wait, is that a cockroach 🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳??????
I'm a winner!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. I know it isn't but I subscribe to the philosophy that if it looks like one it is.
Winning!
Also......
Losing!
I think we should all send Dennis our addresses.
We are all Winners! (and equal parts Losers!)
I used to win everything. It came with a price though. I can't resist the opportunity to be an asshole though.
I know 🪳 is the answer. My Mom told me when I was little and she pretty much knew everything.
Wait and see.
I keep track.
You suck. Lol.
Wait until you see my superhero boots. They are everything!
Congratulations to winners. May your package be extra spooky. No those aren't Portland hitchhikers' skeletons in your packages they're from Seattle. The weak ankles give them away.
Congratulations to all the winners! I had fun mulling this one over. Here's to the next challenge... 💀

Zoe, I got your email. Your prize will go out on Saturday. Thanks.
Hi Chuck,
I wanted to let you know that my prize arrived safely. It is really quite beautiful. All of it. Thank you.
The last couple of days have been hard. One of my cats, Bruce, passed away on Halloween - the day after my birthday. He was twelve.
That package really added some brightness to my day. And I appreciate it.
