I'd seen the Old Navy ad with Jason Priestly and Gabrielle Carteris, which made me kind of sad for them, especially JP, but I just saw the one with JP, Jennie Garth, and Luke Perry, and that's just wrong.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't believe there's still more fucking running. I don't really have it in me, all this stress.
But our chances at the 4 by 1 are pretty decent. My sister told me Usain had said he was going to compete in the 400--I kinda hope not. Don't dilute the legend, yo.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I haven't seen the Old Navy ads, but I'm enjoying the Target back-to-school ads more than I probably should.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was just reading up about the beach volleyball, where female competitors are finally allowed to wear more than a fairly skimpy two piece, but the Americans said they were going to keep wearing their bikinis. "It's about the sport, not what you're wearing" "I'm not a sex symbol, I'm an athlete" "If you wear baggier clothing, you get sand everywhere".
How do two of those reasons have any bearing on bikinis being better? As for the third--how in hell do the men manage to compete at an Olympic calibre with such a handicap? I am so impressed with their perseverance in the face of this hardship. I had no idea what they had to surmount, uphill, both ways, with sand in their crotches.
Apparently it's also hard to see the signals flashed behind your butt if half your ass cheeks aren't showing. Another thing the men valiantly struggle past. They're such brave little toasters...
Of course, after all that, the weather was so crap the women had to compete in more than just undies. Poor dears.

Do ER people really have a thing about increased activity during a full moon?
Dunno about ER people, but EMTS, FireFighters, Police and 911 call centers sure do. I think partially self fulfulling prophecy, and partially that the brighter it is outside, the later people stay outside getting drunk and doing dumb things. But yeah, the nights that we dread the most are the dreaded trifecta of 1)weekend night 2)holiday and 3)full moon. The call volume just spikes.

I know. He looked really frail in the TAL live show, which was sad and worrying.
