Someone is Wrong on the Internet? Call Batman, I'm Busy

First (because it’s possible the post is a TL;DR) have you seen my giveaway? One signed copy of Queen’s Man going to some lucky personage! Now to my grumble of the day. I’m always complaining I don’t have enough time. I have so much to do and so little time to do it in…and then
