I collect it faster than I can consume it, because there will come a time when the rate of collection will drop precipitously due to other obligations. At that time, it will be like having my own private little internet, and I will discover things I downloaded but haven’t looked at in years, maybe ever. I will be getting daily deliveries from the porn fairy.

Don’t forget the lube. Spit doesn’t really cut it in the long run.
