And clearly, I DID mean Rumplestiltskin. He spun so much straw into gold that he fell asleep for many years and woke up confused. Very similar to Rip Van Winkle. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! ;-)

BTW, why the salute? Well, it's how I open every episode, as a salute to service - to be clear, I am not now nor have I ever been in the armed forces - I count myself among the protected and thank those that have for their service! I used it in the thumbnail because of the "3-finger-salute" reference. Which is also generating a lot of traffic from frat houses, but I'm not sure why. But I figured I should call it out in the description since I'm saluting in the thumbnail!

In the comments, someone pointed out that my longtime phrase of "I'm not selling anything..." is not entirely true when I'm also pimping a book 30 seconds later (the mug sales go to a charity, as always). Which I grant is totally fair! I hadn't even thought of it until I read the comment, and won't repeat the mistake of both in the same episode again: my apologies, and thanks for the feedback!
