It being a veritable army probably make the mistake (if it was a mistake, and tbh it probably was, because that’s the kind of thing that gets discussed endlessly between design and legal, bouncing off a couple desks in between) easier . . .

Oh, man.  By the time I read your comment the dog story had been buried by several more people versions -- eating a penny and stuff.  Don’t read this stuff half-asleep; I just sat here for WAY too long trying to figure out how you *ate* the underwear. 

I mean, I guess I knew it was happening in the abstract, but definitely not enough to realize how far past wink-and-nod dark themes they’d gone!

I haven’t!  Not for a particular reason, just that I’ve had a hard time getting into any of the CW shows.  Kind of following along on the recaps, but haven’t sat down to watch. 

The thing I just cannot get over with Sabrina is, as a kid in the 80s and 90s, and therefore a grizzled survivor of the Culture Wars that still gets the occasional thousand-yard-stare when D&D comes up, **that the show got made** at all.

Damn f*cking skippy. 

I shall let Delores Van Cartier express thoughts on my behalf:

Oh man, I LOVED the Schwann truck when I was a kid! And as a total Red Baron geek (the Snoopy, the song, the mythos . . . ), this absolutely made my day.

NYC is one long logistics puzzle.  I have a mental calculation of what heavy vs light groceries I need as well as if I can grab an easy bus home or not (the train’s a little too far to carry groceries; the bus stops closer to the house).  If I know I have a major list that needs to get filled, I cheat and grab an uber…

I feel like that’s decent math, if rounded a little generously and accounting for time-to-train variance. It takes me 50 minutes to an hour to get from Carroll Gardens to 5th Ave and the mid-50s—I think that’s about 6 or 7 miles?

For me, personally, it doesn’t help having a brain that loves to pair things off. New Hampshire/Vermont, Iowa/Kansas, and Wyoming/Montana are all members of the buddy system without enough direct life experience to differentiate them. (Alabama/Mississippi would have fallen victim to this if I hadn’t grown up watching…

Speaking strictly personally, you’re not being too pessimistic. I weight myself pretty far above average, but my geographic knowledge of “the southwest” isn’t great; if you gave me a blank map I could probably fill it in accurately (although I am absolute crap at remembering which of the Four Corners states goes…

Is it still “too soon” if it’s literally timely? Temporal comedy is so difficult to parse.

Okay, so the important thing to know is that it’s been a summer with a lot of endings for me. A project I adored, a job I adored, several people in my world passed away, etc.

If I’m in an airport, a few things are *absolutes*:

Yup, absolutely!

I haven’t had a chance to hit the midtown one yet, so I’m speaking purely on speculation and theory. That said, I’m a transplant from a southern state, so my theories around this are pretty good.

I can’t figure it out. I’m generally all aboard the heartwarming train, but there was always something about Pooh that creeped me out as a kid, and I still feel it here.

I continue unabashed.

That’s just efficient urban disaster planning.
