@FurrierAndIves: The NY Times has at least one photo: [www.nytimes.com]

@mandiandi: I watched 5 episodes, cried after each one, and then gave up. Evidently time travel is not for softies like me.

@erinoherin: Joe The Art of Coffee at 141 Waverly Place has a lot of room, but my favorite place is McNally Jackson (52 Prince St.—not so much room, but a bookstore!).

@hellionraiser: Thanks!

@Nell_fersher: I would, just for the hell of it, except that my friend would kill me. But the look on her face might be worth it.

@ploopsy: Noted; thanks.

@Dorilys: Ok, thanks for the vote of confidence!

So... I'm trying to think of what to get a friend I've known for 15 years who just had a baby. (This is in addition to what the friend asked for, a book to help build the baby's library). I thought about writing the tot a letter for her future self about what an amazing woman her mom is and all the fun* stuff we did…

@SamIam24: Oh my Lord, yes. This was Saturday morning for my entire childhood. There's talk of a Fraggle Rock movie in 2012. I have mixed emotions about that.

@Uhuh.: I sympathize *so much.* Traveling is my main passion, but I get extremely stressed about flying. My tricks are:

Rubbing your wrists (or any other pulse points where you apply perfume) can crush the bouquet of the scent, so it's best to flail around mildly until it's dried.

@emilylzbth: Yikes. Is there any way to help the bottom line, marketing-wise? Social media? Reaching out to bloggers? Open-house nights with wine and cheese? (I'm throwing the kitchen sink; apologies if none of these fit the culture of the boutique.)

@ink: Incidentally, the reporter for the Brazilian models story, Alexei Barrionuevo, has twice been accused of plagiarism; the New York Times acknowledged the errors in both cases. [www.slate.com]

@ink: That's one of the things that made me so angry about the article. The director of the school lets the scout wander through the hallways and go through yearbooks so that 3 or 4 girls (maybe) might have the chance to make it big. At the cost of the student body's sense of self-worth? Lousy.

@stacyinbean: I live in Queens, and this isn't the Queens I know.

@Slatka: I must have that Orbit Baklava gum. MUST!

Other t-shirts for sale in the Improbable T-Shirt Shop:

@orale_odelet: Shook his hand and got a jolt. Then he told me about n + infinity dimensions (he's a mathematician). And I was done for.

@Lemon: Listicles.

@sheilagirl: Check with your provider, but I don't think it's possible—I tried a couple of days ago with a crank caller. You can set a particular ring tone for that number, though, if you just want to ignore it.
