Six-year-old Hntrss had NO idea either.

There’s no official word I can find but he unabashedly loves Disney movies from that period and the dog LOOKS like Dodger. (We still have Oliver and Dodger ornaments on our family Christmas tree. My grandma ate SO MANY Happy Meals to get them for my brother and me.)

The dog’s name is Dodger, which I believe is named for the character in Disney’s Oliver and Company (a movie of which I have extremely fond memories).

I love him for this fact alone.

Weren’t we all along?

Thank you for not sharing the leaks/spoilers. I seek plot points out sometimes, but I want to look for it... not be told against my will! You are a good GoT fan.

Damn. I was hoping to see Michael Huisman again!

Golden Company is the one her BF heads up, right?

I would be OK with that.

Thanks. I clearly needed a history lesson.

I thought the Targ reign was pretty peaceful until the Mad King... Maybe I bought Dany’s propoganda.

Yeah... but the look on Brienne’s face when she makes a kill is pretty close to the look on Arya’s. It’s more than she wants to be a knight. She likes the power of it. So does Arya. Podrick, while not a romantic interest, helps keep Brienne in check. I am hoping Gendry comes back so he can keep Arya in check.

I read it more as impassive than upset. Everyone who keeps saying how wooden Sansa seems forgets that she has not been able to show any real emotion for YEARS. At KL, she was being held captive by her father’s murderers and had to pretend to love Joffrey of all people. She’s been around Littlefinger for ages, and has…

Mandarin Orange is my most favorite. If you are in Kansas, I may be the one buying all of your Mandarin Orange. Sorry not sorry.

Kroger Sparkling Water is the shit. I started with LaCroix because my friend had bought it and I thought it was tasty, but I am Middle-Class Broke and could not afford the crazy $10 for 8 cans or whatever it is. Tried the Kroger brand and I AM NOW A BELIEVER.

I was in western KY from 1990-1996, and it was by FAR the weirdest place I have ever lived.

I took it in 2000, and it was still very similar. We spent an inordinate amount of time focusing on the “midnight judges” and the various tax rebellions of the colonists and the early Americans, and had about 2 weeks to blow through WW1, WW2 and the Vietnam War before the AP exam.

Then the AP exam asked us something…

Did your HS boyfriend grow up on the West Coast? I moved around as a kid, and I discovered that the aspects of history focused on were very specific to the region of the United States I was living in.

In Kentucky, it was all colonialism and the “War Between the States” with an emphasis on the role of border states.

In…

I think part of the Cold War fascination in history books is the people writing them actually lived through it, so they 1) have more intimate knowledge of the subject and 2) magnify its importance based on how it influenced them directly in their lives.

We are finding this presidency completely fascinating (and…

Thank yous are always appreciated. Being a constituent matters when you want to influence decisions.

I think it’s a new troll. Haven’t seen it around before, and has been talking smack on many a thread today.
