Yeah the problem is that part of a political argument is calling bullshit. I gather that in Europe that is accepted as part of *friendly* political debate.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

I couldn't debate with Stephen Fry. We could be arguing the merits of blueberry vs. apple pie, and I'd just stare at him admiringly and exclaim, "My, your sentence construction is excellent! Tell me more about these apples, Mr. Fry. I shall eschew the blueberry forthwith."

The darkness that is Old School Sesame Street.
OH MAN.
From the article:
Just don’t bring the children. According to an earnest warning on Volumes 1 and 2, “Sesame Street: Old School” is adults-only: “These early ‘Sesame Street’ episodes are intended for grown-ups, and may not suit the needs of today’s preschool child.”
Say what? At a recent all-ages home screening, a hush fell over the room. “What did they do to us?” asked one Gen-X mother of two, finally. The show rolled, and the sweet trauma came flooding back. What they did to us was hard-core. Man, was that scene rough. The masonry on the dingy brownstone at 123 Sesame Street, where the closeted Ernie and Bert shared a dismal basement apartment, was deteriorating. Cookie Monster was on a fast track to diabetes. Oscar’s depression was untreated. Prozacky Elmo didn’t exist.

I can't think of the word 'muffin' without appending 'whitey' to it anymore. at all. Like today I thought, "This salad is good but I really want a muffin...whitey."

I have this problem, too. Unfortunately, saying "eat a muffin whitey" to one's cow-workers is somewhat embarrassing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I bought an entire unit of Twix for a craving that proved sated with one bit. On the upside it did give me a chance to have my Old Navy wrap dress complimented by one of the office fashion cognoscenti (it's a weird sensation when it feels like it's the first time I'm writing a word I know perfectly well) (oh, and she's probably not one of, more like the cognoscente).
That's a lotta extra Twix.

My ZIP code is quite educated, yet has above average number of people below the poverty line.
