I Belong Again!
At age 11, I became a breathless member of the Merry Marvel Marching Society. How many countless times did I play the “Scream Along With Marvel” record?

ALL TRUE SILVER AGE MARVEL FANS MUST BUY THIS RECORD! Here is the link to do that:

0.5%
I no longer drink beer or wine, but occasionally I will have this non-alcoholic beverage.
There is some residual alcohol, listed as 0.5%. I predict this is the same percentage that the Federal Reserve Bank will cut the federal funds interest rate on Wednesday.
