Congrats, Kate P.!
Also to Allyson for finally getting some car-mic justice.
Finally caught up...only to fall behind when I go to Maine tomorrow. Le sigh.
We're in love. We're ... lovers. We're lesbian, gay-type lovers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I had an argument with a squirrel just yesterday. It was the first one I'd seen in forever, and it was just THERE. Staring at me. The balls.

Love these:
12. Amazon has never been just a river in South America.
21. They’ve always gone to school with Mohammed and Jesus.
For some reason, these made me sad:
33. Most have grown up with a faux Christmas Tree in the house at the holidays.
75. The New York Times and the Boston Globe have never been rival newspapers.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I don't even understand what this one means:
The United States has always been shedding fur.
Although maybe it explains my allergies. Fur is being shed everywhere!
...seriously, WTF does that mean?

PC? Oh, still totally means politically correct too.
And:
They’ve always wanted to be like Shaq or Kobe: Michael Who?
Michael will live on in our hearts. Larry who? is a better question.
And I was shopping in Woolworths 10 years ago. I'm pretty sure of it. Or do I mean KMart? Now I'm confused.
They also shop in plenty of stores without websites. When you're actually shopping in meatspace, who declines to go into a store because they have no online presence? You might think it's weird, but if they have your stuff...

Woolworth's lasted longer in Canada than in the US.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The United States has always been shedding fur.
I think this is about the anti-fur campaign from PETA, et al.
Most have grown up with a faux Christmas Tree in the house at the holidays.
As one with a pine allergy, I happily embrace the faux tree.
This is the one that hits me the hardest:
Ferris Bueller and Sloane Peterson could be their parents.
