Isn't Baltimore "The City that Reads" ?

That's like three slogans ago. From Mayor Kurt Schmoke's term (erika, he's the one who promoted the idea of legalizing drugs as a crime-fighting tool a la Bunny Colvin. And he showed up on the show as...maybe the health commisioner? I don't remember exactly)

I just got 7901 on Word Sandwich. That's probably the best I will ever do, so I should quit while I'm ahead.

I got over 10000 once, mainly because one of my regular narrowing down words was the word, and I got it on the second guess. I've had to walk away from Word Sandwich, my wrists were starting to ache.

Okay, I am SO getting this outfit for my niece:

The standard thinking these days is that Metropolis is NYC.

Except sometimes DC comics refer explicitly to NYC. So....not sure.

Bludhaven is also in Jersey.

Was. Now it's a crater. In Jersey.

Oh. I'm way behind on comics.

Dunkin Donuts is opening in my town on April 7!

Happy Birthday, Noah & Grace!

It's also SuziQ's daughter K-Bug's 18th birthday today, so Happy Birthday to K-Bug too!

Or is that Chicago? (Trust me to ask the important questions.)

Yeah, I thought I read that Chicago was Gotham, and that's why Batman Begins shot in Chicago.

It's a great line, but people tend to think it was spontaneous and shit, but it wasn't. Totally rehearsed. (Also totally deserved, but it's not the paradigm of extemporaneous speaking that people like to claim that it is.)

Man, this is like the grown-up version of hearing about Santa. "Lloyd Bentsen doesn't ACTUALLY come down your chimney bearing magical extemporaneous snark... But the snark was true. We all have that snark in our hearts. YOU'RE part of ths snark now..."

No Gotham is definitely in New Jersey. And, according to some of my searches, Metropolis is in Delaware. NYC is in New York. Which makes sense.

...

Delaware? Huh.

Delaware? Huh.

According to Smallville, the United States is the size of Belgium.
