    I don't think I know much about his reading tastes, but his writing reveals both car-techy and theatre-techy interests, and with that combination he might be ok with the way the thread is going, if he were around.

    Hobbit of Prius was (is) into taking apart the car to see how it really works. More than just striving for high mpg.

    Taught me and many others how to coil cables :)

    I love Mark Twain. And, I just finished reading The Hobbit for about the XX time a few weeks ago.

    I THINK, I do not like the next book as well, but time will tell.

    Hobbit defended barefootedness at work. Probably the source of his nickname. Don't know if hirsute feet contributed.

    And you meant statute, but I tried to figure out if statue was a counter pun. Found nothing on the table.

    Pirate DVD stores sell season sets of many TV series. Things aren't really banned - it's hard to explain.

    not surprising. hard to say, i really enjoyed it for a number of years. sometimes though, humor is not timeless.
