...the Manson Family’s killing spree was reported to local police, who dismissed the allegations as “just Charlie being Charlie”

Barack is now President of Earth in my geopolitical headcanon. So you can’t have him back.

She actually changed the spelling when she found out her real dad was Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Also, maybe, the perpetrator.

So adding the ‘+’ to a D means it’s better than a D by an unspecified amount? I’m gonna take that as an A.

While I guess that much of wine tasting is flummery, I know I’ve had bad wine I could barely drink, a lot of middling stuff, and occasionally, a wine that’s blown my mind. I guess you spend the big bucks of you’ve got them in the hope that you’ll get the good stuff. But I’m sure it’s no guarantee.

Empire is from 1980, so doesn’t qualify for the post- Blade Runner list
