Good. Those things are expensive and they cut off the circulation to your brain.

I have two. One for sci-fi stuff another for romance. The romance one's at over 1K subscribers, the sci-fi one at a little over 200.

Was today the release day? I didn't get a notification.

When and where will the Leprechaun story be?
