“The Screw Asylum. I suppose it beats collecting Star Wars dolls”

A recent comment that reminded me that the Screw Asylum has been quiet lately. A quick statistic check shows that hundreds are passing the secure double doors and entering at your own risk every day. We’re all still here and there are plenty of new inmates in the wings waiting to show themselves off. Stay tuned…

A screw needs a point or it’s just a bolt isn’t it?
