You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

In the show Law & Order, are the cops law or order? I'd always pegged them as order, although they should be sequenced first.

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

my grandmother made it almost every year, but we were never around for the hard candy making, only the cake and pie making.

The book I was trying to buy today for my dad (to be from mac) is no longer on his wishlist. It doesn't show up as purchased by someone else, just gone. I guess it is just as well that I didn't find it. Now we have nothing for mac to give him and no ideas.

I just realized I ate none of the sweets last night. I think I was too afraid of stealth caramel. I also have a bruise I have no idea from whence. It's a little concerning.

I have done 3 loads of laundry. And swam farther than I have before, I think. That's it for today. I should amazon shop.

That's how I see it. The argument can be made that the cops are instruments of the law and, I dunno, there's order in the courts?

Yeah, it should be Order & Law to go in order. You know they developed it like that because at the time everything doing well in syndication was a half-hour show and Dick Wolf wanted to make sure he could syndicate it.

I'd always seen it as the cops being enforcers of order and lawyers--well, they have law right in their name.

Well, Mr. Wolf sure did a good syndication job. Season 20 and I read that if NBC doesn't pick up 21, TNT will.

Yes, that's how I see it, too, I was just trying to make a case for the other way.

I did not know that syndication was the reason for it. Huh.

Our wings are not tired.

What about a LeatherMan tool?

Luckily they never had to actually sell it as separate half hours.
