How is it a straw man? You're upset about the show replacing the books in the popular consciousness. It's pretty much exactly what happened with the Wizard of Oz, The Godfather, and a whole shitload of other works, especially books.

I think you'd see a dragon coming from pretty far away. They're huge.

So you're saying that he's basically Anakin Whitewalker?

And the fuck that Wizard of Oz movie! People talk about that with almost no reference to the work of L. Frank Baum.

Ground buffalo is usually available around here (Northern California) but I don't think I've ever seen elk. The rest I've seen, but only a handful of times. I saw goose on sale last Christmas, and it wasn't at a high end market, but at Safeway. You can find goat sometimes, too, but mostly at Mexican markets. And…

It's fairly popular. Just a distant fifth to chicken, beef, pork and turkey. But why can't I find venison, rabbit or duck at the store?

Except for pigs.

Rabbit isn't that uncommon on restaurant menus, but I've never seen it in a store.

So you'd say that they Stack up well against modern shows?

When "Roseanne" was on Netflix, after something like season 3 all the episodes were still arranged by season, but arranged alphabetically within the seasons. I watched quite a few of them, but it was really jarring to go from an episode where Roseanne is pregnant to one where she's not or to see Jackie talk about…

Comcast alphabetizes their Movies On Demand that way. It's infuriating.

One Mississippi is pretty good.

My sophomore year (1991-1992) new history textbooks finally came in. They were replacing ones whose list of the presidents ended at Nixon. Not that it mattered, since the school year always ended before the class could even finish the sixties.

And probably even more so in the fifties and sixties when Trump was in school. Especially since it was the war that so many of his classmates' dads had fought in. (Not his dad, clearly. Without checking, I can guarantee that Fred Trump absolutely did not fight against the Nazis in any substantial way.)

I'm confused, too. And is the two year old's name "F&E?"

Not since parliament passed the Modest Proposal of 1729.

It's too much to handle.

I think you mean 8:00.

They're sending murderers, they're sending rapists, they're sending vandals, and also Vandals.

Might as well. Half of these "Let's cut all the welfare" types are already on disability anyway.
