Are there any Acaeum members in South Carolina?  If so, it looks like if may be time to move.  Or at least keep your cars in the garage.

Or, to quote the last sentence of the article:

So now, South Carolina has two potential lizard men in its jurisdiction. The one reportedly mauling cars is sticking close to swamps, and the one making publicity appearances is heading to the Ripley's Believe It Or Not! Odditorium in Myrtle Beach to display his lizardness in all its glory between July 17-24.

Yep:  be sure to visit Pandemonium Books & Games in Cambridge @ http://www.pandemoniumbooks.com/  I visited there while in Boston several years ago, and it was great.  One of the best books and game stores I've ever walked into.

If you're a board gamer, Games People Play @ http://www.thegamespeopleplaycambridge.com/ is supposed to be very good, but I haven't been there, so I can't give you any first-hand help.

I don't live there, but I visit family in Vancouver once in a while.  For used book stores, I'd say Macleod's Books in Gastown (for general reading - they don't carry game books).  Pulp Fiction near Main & Kingsway.  A few years ago I saw a decrepit copy of Runequest II for sale at Lawrence Books (Dunbar & W. 41st).   Drexoll Games in Kitsilano has used games.  And if you get down to Richmond, Imperial Hobbies is a big shop, worth a visit.

Thank you, that information should come in handy.

Hector.

What kind of book stores are you looking for?  There are far fewer here than there used to be (true of anywhere, I suppose), but there are still many, of all types.

Gaming, of course! Already have a few good leads.

Thanks,

Looks like this version of Conan strayed a bit from REH's work.

This guy admits to slaying 85 to 98 people, using bombs and guns to do the job.
Saying it was atrocious but needed.
Norway's toughest sentence is 21 years in jail.
They are gonna show him what for...

In Texas, he would be on Death Row for the 1st one.
And if that did not work for some silly reason, they would put him on Death Row for the next one... and so on, 98 times if need be to make sure the job gets done.

Well, we are such barbarians for enforcing the death penalty  

Awesome, I hope he gets out in 21 years and the Norwegians have to worry about what happens next, sad that this had to be their wake-up call that they are now living in the 21st century. They are woefully unprepared as a country for any sort of violence (1.5 hours for police to reach the assassin as he sat there shooting down kids?) and they are already giving excuses as to how this could happen.  I'm sure all the parents of those kids will appreciate the compassion of the Norwegian legal system as this brutal murderer walks out of prison a free man when he's still in his 40s.
