King is my favorite author, hands down, but I don’t understand why so many people seem to look down at Koontz. If we’re really being honest, Koontz would be much more well regarded if it weren’t for the fact that he’s so frequently directly compared to King, and Stephen King is a one-of-a-kind, once in a lifetime literary master. Absent the comparison to King, the bulk of Koontz’s work holds up quite well. It’s entertaining writing with relatable characters that are easy for become invested in. Hell, some of his ideas were not only terrifyingly imaginative, they were also oddly accurate predictions of the future. Demon Seed is uniquely chilling in that it was almost comically over the top with its seemingly ridiculous technology that has since very much become a reality.

I would also argue that Koontz has had a few film adaptations that ended up better than the King adaptations of their time. Phantoms, Watchers, Servants of Twilight, Whispers, Intensity, and Mr. Murder were all pretty great.

Koontz has a great track record. He simply suffers from living in the shadow of a modern day colossus like King. Absent the comparison, I feel Koontz would be much more favorably viewed.

Love him, too. Currently watching Good Omens and loving every moment.

Hmmm. Cute, but the collar is much more subby than dommy. Love that the doggo would choose leather rabbit ears, though.

At this point, the NH state flag needs to be a solid yellow square with a pile of trash bags at center and the state motto in Comic Sans. Folks don’t seem to know the difference between libertarian and anarchist in the worst ways possible.

That’s not the sick burn it once was, now that Hasbro owns them both.

Add in an IR blaster, and that’s my whole list.

Wow, I had forgotten about how much I loved these. My favorite phone ever was the HTC G2. LOVED that keyboard!

Ah, yes, everyone’s favorite Dorito flavor, Dick Kicker.

How common was this? That was precisely how I discovered porn. Found a Hustler magazine on a trail I used as a shortcut between housing developments on my paper route when I was 11. Then found a whole stash of them in another part of the woods near a tree fort I built with some friends.

Sounds familiar. I wonder what it is about cider and malt beverages that suddenly don’t settle?

Sarcastic: Indeed.

Wow. So that’s how you can actually do sarcasm on the interwebs!

Pets don’t get medals!

Except

Apparently dogs DO get medals, but Chewie gets passed over. Chewbacca has sub-pet status.

This is now my headcanon. Han is Chewie’s goodest boy!
