I would say that Vinnie doesn't even seem to get much good karma out of his life, but then I remembered that he has apparently taken up some fun activities with a hot Chinese woman, so there's that.




It was pretty damn pricey when I was in college so many years ago, so I don't imagine it's getting any better.

I do see commercials on television where you can get your degree from home and don't even need to change out of your pajamas. You might not even have to do coursework. The prices seem very reasonable too. I can try and order a brochure for you if you like...





Yikes! Hey, I'll sell you my car for less than that. Relatively few miles on it for as old as it is (working from home has benefits.) Delivery might be an issue though.





That sounds pretty good, actually. I love good gelato, and nightclub incidents are almost always overrated. The rain part could be a downer, but it'd make me feel better about crossing the live volcano. Admittedly, a strong drizzle probably only does so much to quell molten magma, but then thermodynamics were never my strong suit.





I quite liked the Mulder/Scully skeptic/believer angle to this chapter, as poor Sam was a little too grown up to buy into it all. I know it can put quite a bit of stress on the relationships between real children when the older ones start to cross that threshold before their playmates. Of course, the kids are isolated enough that there's not a lot of peer pressure to help drive wedges between them.





I'm sure they're quite popular as recreational aids.





Well, we know that Griff doesn't care for gothenmanders or wyverns (eventually, anyway). And he was a pretty good guardian for a number of years, and can keep a secret.





Griff is going to have to settle for a regular mattress like anybody else. Gold can't be good for your back anyway.
