“We’re in a tight spot!”

Well to be fair, that is during rush hour, if your time stamp is correct. Without snow, the times still wouldn’t be anywhere near that “ideal” time.

I once needed to buy some poly-fil stuffing for a stuffed animal I was making, and the (tiny) bag of poly in the craft section was something like 8 bucks, and a regular plain bed pillow, probably 3-4 times the size, was $5. So now I have a nice cloth bag full of stuffing for multiple projects.

I used to hate black licorice with an intense passion, always associating it with black jelly beans which are, still, the devil’s candy. But then I moved to Germany, and became acquainted with Lakritz Schnecken. That’s them, up there in the header pic on this article. They are from Haribo, and they are so so so so…

Um, I do! You have the introduction of Slughorn, the Pensieve and its retrieved memories, Harry Potter high on Felix Felicis, Aragog’s funeral, the introduction of Horcruxes, and Harry and Dumbledore’s trip to the underground lake. It is fantastic and creepy and funny and horrifying. I’d put it second to Azkaban, for…

I once sat in an airplane seat and realized after a horrifying moment that its previous occupant had peed in it. Yes, I sat in another person’s piss. No, there was no indication before I sat down that the seat was wet. It looked like every other seat. The airline hostess changed out the seat, confirming my diagnosis…

I hate that on Netflix. Whenever the credits get tossed into a little box, I navigate up there to watch them. Sometimes they are really lovely and have nice graphics. I have a son who will not stay in the theatre for the credits, and so every time we go I have to deal with an obnoxious 13-year-old saying, “Let’s…

This is such an odd question to me, since the only time I have ever been too cold in a restaurant, it has been in the summer. Glacial AC is the pits. I have never been too cold in the winter, unless sitting directly next to the door. 

I don’t think so! In the book, at least, El-ahrairah has Hazel join his Owsla after death. I think the movie condenses the mythology a bit, so the Black Rabbit takes Hazel. Although, in truth, it has been a long time since I saw the movie or read the book, so I could be wrong!

Well, this is one of my very favorite books, and I watched the movie so much when I was a kid (I never found it as horrifying as it seems everyone else did, I guess?) but the animation stills on that link are really ugly. I mean, I will check it out, because that is a hell of a voice cast, but, yeah, I don’t know. Can…

As a tall girl (6 feet) I can tell you that tall boys never want tall girls, but short boys sure do. It is weird.

I watched this every year as a kid, and now watch it every year with my kids, and it remains funny and singable. I definitely need the soundtrack. Maybe even on vinyl! Watching my kids goggle over a turntable is pretty hilarious.

Yes! One of the best parts of watching this movie with my kids every year is watching the outtakes. “Who are we, Ma?” “ I couldn’t care less.”

I always felt like Ledger’s Joker was a brilliant piece of acting because you could see the vulnerability behind the crazy. He always looked like someone desperate to prove himself, and since he couldn’t be the strongest or the fastest, he decided to be the craziest. I know there is no backstory in the movie, but I…

Night Watch is incredible, Thud is incredible, Fifth Elephant is fantastic. The Watch is my favorite series of Pratchett by far (hence the username) and these are the cream of the crop. I am a little worried by this news, just because I don’t want them to mess it up, and to be honest, I have never watched any of the…

Yes! Probably my most re-read of the Watch books. 

My 13 y.o. son wants to put up a sign on our front door saying “No candy for Fortnite costume wearers”. He is a little, shall we say, singular. He want to dress as Despacito Spider. Don’t ask.

Yeah, that’s what I thought. Sounds like a French Canadian accent.

I feel like he’s almost doing a French Canadian thing, so it would make sense if it dropped in and out. Might be wrong though.

As others have said, I don’t think Fisk planned this exact scenario. He just manipulates those that he feels could become useful, in various ways, down the line. His entire existence as Kingpin is because he knows that there is no one direct line to his triumph. He has placed his pieces so that all moves lead to…
