Pumpkin Spice was one part, Thai Iced Tea was another - they weren't intermingled. I realized I may have been confusing. (It was an October wedding.)

We had pumpkin spice and thai iced tea as our wedding flavors — awesome. And we got a lot of flavors to choose from as cupcakes - it was hard to choose.

Maybe he'll become affordable again?
We got our wedding cake (a classic cake being knocked over by a bobcat snowplow) from them before there was the show, but you have to be a zillionaire to afford anything from them now. I just wanted to get some cupcakes at least for an anniversary — nope.

Accelerated Aging
One of the ways the show made more sense to me is if I assumed (after the HS years) that every show was about 5 years in the future
S4, despite being freshmen, they mostly act like they're 20
S5, they're 25. The quarter-century crises,etc.
S6 = 30. The age supposedly women don't want to admit to

We also saw this at Midge's apartment with the Beatniks back in S1 — one of the girls asking why, when they're all stoned or whatnot, she as to be the one to get the drinks.

I LOVED _Action_. I seem to have been the only one, though.

I'm also interested if the text would change, once inked.

This concept always annoyed me — did the people then have top become as static as the books they now represented? In writing, I like to have several texts "interact" — but that would change the memory-human function, since you may misremember something about YOUR item after a convincing argument with another

If I recall correctly, I think I read somewhere that Bradbury considered himself primarily a horror writer, not an SF one. SF concepts were just another tool to use to creep people out, like vampires and fortune-tellers, ghosts and abandoned cities. Authorities and alien ghosts became the enemies, and since it was

I think Asimov tried to embrace new technology in his writing, even if in a grossly simplified way: hence the 3 laws of robotics. His idea was "well, toasters don't attack people because we design them NOT to. So we'll just do the same with robots somehow."

If you want to BE a book (or story)
there's a writer who is soliciting people to get a word tattooed on them, and only then will they receive the entire story. (You can reject your word, but then you don't get the story, and you can't apply again.)
