He ruined MASH. He also is a scene-stealer (as in, he got all the best dialogue, especially when he effectively took creative control of the show). ---

How have you come this far without mentioning Ignorance? I like Poundstone’s books, but not only did he reveal a magic circle secret, he was pretentious about it. Throwing around phrases like _vade mecum_… ---
