Posted on entry Scraps DeSelby's in Intensive Care ::: October 07, 2008, 04:22 PM:
I have a boombox but I suspect shipping it would be silly if anyone there has something like it. If not, please email me and i'll package it up and get it out to whomever. I found it on the curb a few blocks away a few weeks ago. It appeared to be something that someone had, like, in a garage (was a bit dirty) and just didn't want any more. I took it home, plugged it in and it played a CD so it's sitting here. It is am/fm radio and CD player from aiwa (which apparently plays cassettes too?) will ship right away from Seattle if anyone emails and says "why yes,please, that would be useful". (AIWA model CSD-ES220U, if you care) and has batteries too apparently but I haven't checked.
Would this help?

Andi here for both of us.

Oh damn. Stu and i send our love and our "hey, don't DO that!". We pride ourselves on offering useful comments, part of my useless tendency to forever chime in with things like "be careful" AFTER someone's tripped. Because you NEVER fuckin' know what to do or say, but I have this kneejerk reaction. Like saying "don't do that" works. But anywhoo, don't. We have a nice lovely long list of people who should have such problems. You're not on it.

Please feel better. Please be well. Please do whatever you're supposed to do so it doesn't happen again. We wholly resent when bad things happen to our friends. Why doesn't the world listen to us more often? We're nice and we have GREAT friends. So there.

Sorry to hear about the death of Jim Baen. He was always a pleasant guy in company, and sure showed a lot of business savvy, even if he published a lot of SF that wasn't my sort of thang.

Mike, what was the name of Carmine Infantino's chimp detective? I wonder if he ever collided with Gorilla Grodd.))

The character was Bobo, Detective Chimp!

Oh baby!! I just read the sample -- it's great, the best thing since sliced toast, Space Ape and Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp.

Besides, you always win with a gorilla on the comic book cover.
