I'd suggest Batman/Robin. But then I'd also suggest Milo/Otis. Ooh! Rosencrantz/Guildenstern! Nixon/Kissinger. Milkweed/monarch butterfly. ("Do you travel a lot?")

Rosencrantz/Guildenstern

Using it! Good one.

Milkweed/monarch butterfly

That is so precious, I can hardly stand it. Do you travel alot? Awesome.

Typo, the pairings are no deeper than pop culture adjacent conversation starters. I could have used Alice and the White Rabbit, or the Queen of Hearts. (which might be better, now that I mention it) I didn't put that much thought into it.

I can pick ones that are more likely to be identifiable by the demographic that shows up.

I've missed the context -- do you know anything at all about who's attending? In order to answer the yes/no ID questions people have to be reasonably knowledgeable about the characters or it's going to be an exercise in frustration. I feel like characters from cartoons & comics are a safer bet because even if you've never read/watched them, you know who Superman & Lois Lane are well enough to answer some basic questions about them.

Rosencrantz/Guildenstern

Again, I'm thinking of how many questions I'd have to ask of someone else familiar with the play before I'd come up with this. I realize the goal is to get people talking but... characters who are basically ciphers don't give you much to talk about.

Okay, this is just cool. [link]

Once again, not 'shipping the pairs, necessarily.

But Hatter/Alice is just two people in a book. Why not Mad Hatter/March Hare?

What phone did yo get, bon?

Brenda mentioned she zooms b.org on her phone, which is mine (G2), but I don't usually. But I'm not using the default Android browsers.

Oooh, those liquid crystal glasses are pretty cool sounding! Someday in the future we'll all have them in our eyes or something.

What phone did yo get, bon?

Verizon iphone. Got a matching set for the bon Bobs!

Unbelievable, they fit 17 people together at the Haight Street Pork Store. Waitress said it was a record.

Here's Matilda, JZ, the movie star and the poker player.

In this picture you can see Zmayhemi, one of the best known drag queens in San Francisco (Peaches Christ), the producer of (500) Days of Summer, a World Series of Poker Champion (the photographer also having a bracelet), and the screenwriter who created (and later directed) the Chucky horror movies.

Feel better, sickies!!

I went to Target, where I spent a ridiculous amount of time, mostly because I looked at the time right as a bus was supposed to be arriving, so then I had 40 minutes to kill. But the only stupid things I bought were out of the dollar section, so I'm feeling pretty good -- some fun size Twix and two little herb pots. It will be a miracle if they actually grow anything, but if not, I'm only out $2.

What kind of herbs, Jesse?

Emmett's lemon tree is thriving on the back porch.

As an addendum to the breakfast post, I'll note that the two waitresses who busted their asses to fit us together and serve us all, got a nice high roller tip.
