You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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.
