@AlexKane221b I never knew what a Beetle Drive was, thank you. It looks fun, like a very simplified version of Yahtzee, which I love. With beetles.

@AlexKane221b Better than Taxi Driver imho. Everyone behind it expected it to make Harvey Keitel a star but de Niro completely stole it.

@brecht_dp OK, don’t judge me (even though this is about me judging others) but I simply will not submit to a journal the name of which I find to be too silly. Silly journal names are definitely a thing, and that’s entirely up to them, but I’m afraid I can have nothing to do with them.

@PulpLibrarian I’m trying to figure out which I’m more intrigued by - Irish dining’s pleasures , or its pitfalls (Milwaukee).
