Julie- those were very esoteric movies- even I didn't get one. And Bruce,I didn't know you worked with Metallica. Did you know that Beavis and Butthead wore Metallica and AC/DC t-shirts all the time? I know that, because they are my heroes. I model my life after them.
Anyway, I didn't even contribute to this site yet. I have been a full-time dealer of baseball memorabilia for more than twenty years, and for someone who is lazy and doesn't really like to work, it has been in many ways the ideal profession for me. Before that, I taught English at at C.W. Post college on Long Island while simultaneously working at the Village Chess Shop on Thompson Street in Greenwich Village getting paid to play chess with the patrons (and sell a few chess sets and books as well). Imagine getting paid to play chess.
