I'm hitting mid 30's, so finding protagonists that are not in their teens and twenties are refreshing. I find it a lot more relatable and fun to explore. Insomnia was one of my favorites from King. My only gripe was that Insomnia, The Mist, Rose Madder and the Talisman were my primary drivers in the Dark Tower readings and I don't think they were reflected the way I was hoping for. These books however were not made for me so all I can do is appreciate what they offered.

It's part if a larger continuity. Sand vagina, lightning labia and mossy scrotum are all part of the team.

That's a hell of an origin story. Good luck in your future endeavors, Lava Dick.

I have no knowledge on it that wasn't anecdotal. Not to mention the marketing cost for them advertising the one second advertisement. But then again, it is how many years later and I am still talking about it.

Is it linear? IIRC when Miller High Life had a one second commercial it cost significantly more because of the difficulty in putting in a one second ad instead of the regular ad runtime. Or was that just a special case?

I went to a zoo where I could feed hippos and the degree to which they could extend their jaw amazed me. Is he being sheepish with that pumpkin or is that more the norm?
