Crikey! More wardrobe changes than a Madonna concert. (love the free speech zone shirt)

It sounds like Gillespie is saying at the end the best way is to write more characters like Ron Swanson. I agree.

I HAVE A QUESTION?!?!

Why don't you show us the new paper back addition of your new book instead of holding up the old hard bound copy?

[Joe R.]

I bought the hardcover on Amazon for like $11, which is now listing for $18 vs $15 for the paperback.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Bragging about your investments is gauche.

[joshua corning]

Inflation.

Back then 11$ was worth 30$ of today's dollars.

[heller]

You can't.

[joshua corning]

Perfect opportunity for Nick to say "Let your freak flag fly"

Yet squandered.

[Tulpa the White]

Not being principled non-voters would be a good start.

Says the guy voting for Romneybot

[Pro Libertate]

Well, first acquire some tar. Then procure some feathers. Apply liberally to offending political figures. Repeat.

[Tulpa the White]

This whole thing would have been more manageable if you had one post containing links to all the videos, and then kept bumping that one post, rather than making a new post for every video. It's making H and R even less navigable than usual today.

It's making H and R even less navigable than usual today.

So says the Romneybot
