Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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

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!

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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I do not know "Durrells in Corfu" and keep thinking it is a reference to that Star Trek ep where the aliens speak in metaphor or something gibberish and is forever being quoted.

That's kind of perfect
