Does your record player still have a broken needle?

It's bad enough that I just looked at a calendar to check my age—which for obvious reasons it didn't tell me—but the fact that it occurred in the middle of discussing what turned out to be thirty-seven years of affinity for the character of Schmendrick the Magician just feels overloaded.

I did not know that Schmendrik was a magician. All of these years ...

Finding out that the name riffs on Mandrake the Magician blew my mind. I read that book far too young to realize any of it was weird, which in hindsight actually feels fine.

Otherwise, what selkie said.
