Why did it take so long?
Severe fuel shortages. Vast deficits left from the war effort. Very bad weather in the late 1940s.
Buffy: How was school today? Dawn: The usual. A big square building filled with boredom and despair.
Buffy: Just how I remember it.

Cool. Thanks, Ginger!
My goodness, I've been conditioned, haven't I -- I keep expecting something horrible to happen. Anne Bancroft takes a friends' dog for a walk in Central Park and lets it off the leash for a walk, and I expect it to disappear or get eaten or run into the street or something. It doesn't, of course -- it's not that kind of movie.

Holy crap! Root canals and caps for four teeth cost $2500! In the early 1950s? That's... crazy!
Er, maybe late 50s. Oops.

Nono, this was New York! It's why she couldn't afford to go to England for Elizabeth's coronation. $2500! Crazy!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

tommyrot, I think you want this link (yours didn't go to the intro). That is... wow. I particularly like God as Monster Truck Announcer.

Speaking of hot... I bought a range, including a convection oven, which is probably far more stove than I need. Yet now I feel all home-ownerly and all that.
