IJ reaches the masses...

Dunno if any of yins watch regular Murkan tv... but on the current network family sitcom called The Middle the youngest son (named Brick, after... Paul Newman??) is a highly eccentric but likeable tic-laden OCD bookworm -- I think he's in 7th grade this season. Well, they just broadcast their Christmas episode for the year, and guess what Brick's favorite gift was? Hint: it was a blue-jacketed hardback thick enough to serve as a weapon...

That's cool to hear. I'll see if I can catch that on YouTube.
