    I am sure people brought food and drink for Vernon to lift up to the barrel. But I wouldn’t want to be responsible for dispensing of the returned items.

    Going to the “bathroom” up in a barrel must have been kind of awkward….

    I’ve been reading science fiction for over 60 years, and I’ve never heard of Jared Gray.

    Kruger would hark back to the days of pole-sitters.

    Next, you need to train those labs to clean and cook them; then you really have something.

    Was it a butt of Malmsey? O perhaps a cask of Amontillado.

    I’ve seen the movie several times, and I have sleep apnea and wear a mask to bed. I’ve never before connected those two things in any way. Wish me pleasant dreams tonight.

    So many questions about Vernon Kruger. Did he have an umbrella? How did he dispose of his bodily waste? What did he do for entertainment? He didn’t bathe or brush his teeth for 79 days? It looks like his only postures would have been standing and sitting on the floor of the barrel with his knees up; uncomfortable.
