Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Because books.

we can no doubt assume that 40 percent of all women named Amy will list Sabotage as their favorite song

Hey, I'm the ... 10 percent! Or something.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

It's a new thing--I have to get sterling earring posts, but I never had a problem with a watch until the last few months.

I also never had sinus problems until the last few years.

Clearly the answer is that I'm getting older, and my body is trying to kill me.

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

You're an outlier!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I guess I am also an outlier. My favorite is Brass Monkey.

And I said No Sleep Till Brooklyn, but I said it on Facebook. Didn't want to double up.

So many Amys!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Multitudes of Amys!

Weirdly, I was just thinking about the David problem and Knut the Difficult.

We now also have an Amy problem.

Pfft. There is no Amy *problem*.

I'm starved. And my hair is much darker than I thought it would be, not that those two things are related.

It's also super super short, though, and I love it.

I like to think of it as an Amy solution.
