Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

DH and I recieved a TON of glass bowls for our wedding, and we returned each and every one of them for store credit.

That's a thing, too -- if you're not 100% sure of their taste/what they need, go for a place like C&B where they can always return the thing.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

But he will learn that, as one of the show's new nutrition-oriented songs puts it, "A cookie is a sometime food."

Is this really the lesson we want to teach our children?

If I only had a brain...

Not mine. Both of whom are outraged by Cookie Monster's treason.

Yeesh. Educational television at its nannyish worst.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, as long as they don't start maligning chocolate cake, I think civilisation will stand.

God, I want a chocolate cupcake. And cookies, and a chai latte.

Instead, I will have English Breakfast tea.

And cry inside.

There's no kid on the planet that thinks you can eat cookies all the time because Cookie does. Lots of us wished we could, though. Doesn't wish-fulfillment mean anything anymore?(except to Nikita Fic Lady, I mean)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Hmm. Maybe today's walk will be to Coffee Bean.

That would work.

Well, ok, nobody's looking for nutrition advice from Cookie...I've probably eaten a million cookies since I watched him, though. And yeah, the crumbs are a great gag.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I would never eat cookies for breakfast!

I just had leftover birthday cake for breakfast.

And for lunch I'll be having a polish dog and garlic fries, because it's OPENING DAY!!!!!11!!! Wouldn't miss it for the world. MIL is babysitting Annabel today (she came up for the birthday), but we're all going together on Friday night.

Dude, the Mets are so not going to be in last place this year.

Pretty much my hope for the Mariners. I think we can play .500 ball this year, give or take a few games. At least it should be more interesting than last year.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Man, they are just fucking up Sesame Street. Don't even get me started on Elmo.

So next Bert and Ernie will be getting new beardsgirlfriends?

I think there are some kids young enough to think All Cookies All the Time would be a good nutritional plan if they want to grow up blue and fuzzy. But presumably such children are still being fed exclusively by parents who should know better.
