A person after my own gnarly heart, Jeber! But your noggin must be filled with some pretty sordid sights as well, if this is a favourite topic for you, too.
(All jesting aside, if you come across good reading in this field, and feel inclined to post about it here, please @ me! I greatly enjoy learning from others' reading practices, and I suspect that you have a very good one.)
