I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

-*sniff* I'm gonna miss West Covina. That was a very satisfying finale.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

My kids are watching a playthrough of what looks like a handmade Good Place game? (If I wasn't 100% sure already, about every third character is named something Shellstrop.) It's really bizarre!

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Turns out, Brooklyn Nine Nine doesn't even need it to be Halloween to have a heist episode. That was good stuff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That first B99 this week made me literally laugh out loud. How many people loved that Durrells in Corfu joke as much as I did? I feel like probably none!

I had to google that.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Have you been watching the show? (I know Durrell's story from reading him.)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My Family and Other Animals was a formative influence on me when I was a kid! (Go on, act surprised.) I just read it to Ryan this year, and we all watched ' The Durrells thereafter.

All of which to say that I'm rather startled that B99 would be referencing it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Me too.

What was the "Durrells in Corfu" joke?

Yes! And keep meaning to read any of their books, but haven't yet. I assume Larry's books are actually insufferable?

dcp, the joke was that Capt Holt was using a Durrells in Corfu reaction gif in the group chat.
