My girlfriend and I went on vacation to Costa Rica that November -- we voted and then caught our plane out of the country. So we had to watch the whole thing unfold from a couple thousand miles away. 

I worked for Random House Children’s Books in the 90s. We did a ton of Sesame Street tie-in books, including Elmo stuff.

Also ... bare minutes after Mike told the work crew that they should never, ever talk about what happened to them, here’s Kai deciding he really needs to talk about what happened. He should be relieved he got off with just a punch in the face. 

Plutocratese.

Just started Doris Lessing’s The Sirian Experiments (third in her Canopus in Argos: Archives series). Interesting stuff so far although, like the other installments in the series, rather slow-paced and meandering. Amusingly, the narrator/protagonist is named Ambien II.

My minimum wage summer job was as a library page. Pretty darn cushy gig — mostly reshelving books, adding cards to the card catalog (yes, this WAS a while ago), and weeding discarded books.

Me too. I gave up on WWE when Raw went to three hours because, even with liberal use of the FF button, it was just too much to keep up with. The only other wrestling I’ve watched regularly in the interim has been Lucha Underground. 

You had the culmination of everything that Andy Reid had ever worked for—putting endless hours on the clock and living through manifold gut-wrenching playoff losses—to finally achieve his idealized vision of what offensive football ought to look like.

I’m looking forward to the Guardians-Defenders game, where each team just squats in front of their end zone glaring at each other. 

Does that mean Magary has to write another eight days of Why Your Team Sucks?

Le Vipers.

Believe me, there are already hundreds of edits out there. Although half of them replace the painting with goatse. 

Has Kirk’s trademark application for “YOU VIKE THAT?” been processed yet? 

So does Wawa.

So can these ladies.

I saw him bring up his foot to push the shift lever. 

Fairway nothing. Trump drives all the way onto the green, because God forbid he have to walk. https://www.golfdigest.com/story/donald-trump-driving-on-the-green-with-a-golf-cart-is-the-most-donald-trump-thing-ever

Forcett!

Fear not, Bortus only has a couple lines in this one. It’s an Ed episode. (Edisode?) 

Does she have sisters named Hemi-Leigh and Semi-Leigh?
