What does a person actually do with an autograph once he has it? Frame it? Look, the same thing so-and-so writes in the checkout line at Target is on my wall, where a painting or a photo might be! Fondle it? Oh, that downward stroke is so sensual, like we would be together if only we had the chance. Tuck it away in hopes of someday selling it to one of the folks who would frame or fondle it? That may be as realistic as any answer, but it's pretty cynical. I absolutely do not get autographs, especially in the broader sense of the term. Seeing them sought and signed strikes me as one of the most absurd rituals we have, a time waster on the magnitude of airport security or "The Price Is Right." - Seth Anderson
