I worked at 7-11 for about a month.

We had multiple people come in 3-4 times a week and spend 20-50 on scratch off tickets at one time. They'd scratch them all off standing over by the coffee dispensers, win 10, 20, 50, 100 whatever and come running back to spend all their winnings on more scratch off tickets. If they didn't win anything on the first round they pull out another 20 and try again.

They'd double their money or only make back half, then buy more tickets. Win more money or maybe just $5 total, and buy more tickets. Usually they only hung around the store for 15-20 minutes, but I've watched several have 45+ minute winning streaks that they ended by losing everything, then taking $10 more out of their wallet to buy a pack of smokes and a 4-pack of Keystone Ice.

Yesterday an ESPN radio host was talking about the movie, saying how Tara Reid is only shown in one building, suggesting that she may have been on house arrest during filming.

Was he just mocking your movie or...?

The DVD commentary on that episode also very briefly mentions he was a giant dick.

That's not why

Colin Quinn can't even get a radio show. He can write jokes, sure, but he's a terrible performer. He's a sidekick, an after thought. He's not able to carry anything on his own.

You can get a general idea of what to charge by looking at the 100 Paid Best Sellers.

You're an unknown, so you're not going to be able to charge much for your first book. Nobody but the big name authors or those with a giant PR dept. backing them can charge more than $5-6 for their first book and expect people to take a chance on it.

Which would you rather do?

Sell 87 copies at $9.99? or 8700 at $3.99?
