I miss "MacDoodle Street" and "Washingtoon."

Goat meat is too bony. I like it in restaurants when they cut it off the bone.

They are reputed to taste gamey and rank. That was the problem in Medieval days, too. They had all that aging and preparation. Then they served swan to the kings. (Swan was "the royal meat.") The king would eat a little, and then quickly on to the next course.

Lamb is great when it's fresh. A salty, freezer-preserved, thin lamb gyro is a horrible thing.

Steal from the Brits.

Nobody mentioned possible diseases from the turtle living in chemical-laden or diseased waters.

Prayer rally in Pittsburgh to oppose the neoNazis and support unity.

Quick-baked at 400 degrees. Possibly sprayed with olive pan spray. It turns brown, and is very tender.

Poit!

The resulting living spaces cost too much for locals. Opportunist landlords raise their prices to keep up. The poor must move beyond city limits, where there are no decent…

Then I *am* Random.

That would probably be _too much_ of a diversion. But it's already evident how much the creator of the show loved that movie.

I didn't like "Labyrinth." It's hard to believe the wooden girl who plays Sarah would become the impish, expressive woman in "The Rocketeer." And the plot's path to adulthood is too rote. In contrast, look at "Gravity Falls." (Or is the success of the TV show due to its longer process, full of diversions?) The TV show…
