On the lighter side, The Famous Tommy Tucker. How about the Beverly Hills Fighting Chiweenies?
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.

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

I didn't even know Conan O'Brian is filming in Chicago this week.
I need to remember that Conan's going to be launching stuff over the State Street bridge every day this week, because it's right by my office and I may need to pad some detour time if I need to get someplace.

Whenever I try that, they come back at me with, "Well, why don't YOU give me citations that prove I'm wrong?"
No, asshole, YOU were the one who made the crazy incorrect assertion, and the burden of proof is on the one doing the crazy incorrect asserting. And then I usually want to punch them in the neck.

And here's my question about the Bloomberg soda thing: You could still buy a 2-liter bottle, right?

Yeah, the new rules would just apply to restaurants, not stores.

Oh yeah, and the OTHER thing! 7-11 is a grocery store, but the corner deli is a restaurant???
Oh, New York.
