'Who Would Win' discussions are stupid because Batman, Superman, Light Yagami, and Hamlet all do the same thing: succeed or fail depending on authorial justification.
not sure whether you're disagreeing with me or not but that's sorta what i was getting about, in i guess a needlessly roundabout way

I had to cancel my appointment with a career counselor due to car trouble
Turns out the front passenger-side wheel was loose
I'm glad I didn't drive on it when it was like that >_<

I got one of his story collections because I read his story "Technicolor" and thought it was really good.
I am pretty sure that I have read one or two of his stories in Datlow and Windling's best-of-the-year anthologies, but titles and details escape me. I will be keeping the name in mind, however.

Man, I would love a copy of the OED, even in digital form...

Thank you for saying, "even".
The form is more important than the content or the context.
This is why publishers are superior to authors. Authors only create the content of the books, while those who run the printing machines make the form, the substance.
i have a lingering attachment to owning physical copies of things which i can't really justify, but content is still more important than form (in my opinion).

1. I can't afford a physical copy of the Oxford English Dictionary
Warning: the following is completely insincere. It is a parody of rants I used to make. The intent is to amuse, not to persuade. Any resemblence to views that I actually express these days are buried under several layers of hyperbole and outright funhouse-mirror-type-distortion.
This is why I don't want to be an author, because people would just sell my books on Amazon for soapy lucre (that scourge of humanity) instead of honorably buying them from a bookstore or getting them from a library like Melville Dewey intended in the first place, and my work would simply become a tool for the increasing dominance of the internet and of the digital-electronic world, in which I never indulge, ever. Also, eventually my books would go into the eeeeeeeevil clutches of the public domain, open to that darn general reading populace, and the pure-hearted publishing companies who actually did the true wonder of creating the physical book would no longer have sacred copyright. And then someone would digitize my books, which we hates, and then nobody would read them the way I intend, and so no. Stupid readers, you get the world you deserve, where you get crud like "message" and "content", and stories, and art, and meaning, and the infinite possibilities of the human mind, and the inviting wonderworlds of fiction for less money than would otherwise be required. I want my books to make money for my publishers. I am basically the anti-Bill Watterson. The following notice should be at the beginning of all of my books:
SHUT UP AND GIVE RANDOM HOUSE ALL OF YOUR MONEY. THESE FALSE WORDS AND IMAGINARY HAPPENINGS EXIST SOLELY FOR THE GLORY OF EMPEROR DOHLE. PEASANTS, BE THANKFUL THAT YOU ONLY WERE REQUIRED TO PAY ONE MONTHS WAGES FOR THIS INSTALLMENT OF THE ADVENTURES OF BEARDFIST MCFISTBEARD.

Do you have an opinion on John Langan?
I got one of his story collections because I read his story "Technicolor" and thought it was really good.
I am pretty sure that I have read one or two of his stories in Datlow and Windling's best-of-the-year anthologies, but titles and details escape me. I will be keeping the name in mind, however.

what a dork
2. Even if I could, I have nowhere to store one
It may seem chaotic and full of bullets, but it's all about dodging those bullets and finding a path.
Hung up on a counsellor because I panicked.
I'll ring them back tomorrow.
They'll probably understand...
