Here was my review of the stand:

The Forever War.

Seemed like great fiction - sparse and taught - when I read it. I just re-read it and it seems gossamer thin.

Late 70’s early 80’s in southern new jersey, my mom used to ask all the time “would rather wait in the car or come with me while I shop?”

Agreed. Meanness for its own sake.

I’m sure that the restaurants have to give a slice of their revenue to grub hub, so it makes sense that they’d be more interested in serving direct call-ins.

I just looked at my son and thought “you know, maybe I’d like to go for a jog with him one day.”

And so I stopped cold after 20 years.

Wait what? Release neutered, electro-charged, remote-detonation bunnies into the wild? That's some next-level shit right there.

Right!

People (like my parents!) who buy real estate there are being dummies. They're going to run out of fresh water, and then be under-water, all in short order.

When I lived in New Jersey, my friend Johnny and I would watch Starblazers every day.

In '83 we moved to Florida, WHERE THEY DID NOT HAVE STAR BLAZERS. Crushing.

Tried to show them to my 6 year old; he thought it was too slow.

Can't do that in Red Hook Brooklyn. No grass to mow or fence to clean. Alas.

Lord people, it's not hard.

That's exactly right. I do this for a living, more or less, and part of the reason "that these weekly "search queues" reached a peak in December of 2012, and have since begun to level off..." is because people are leaving Google for Facebook.

I've seen Bono more than once at Fanelli's on Prince St. He ain't 5'9".
