Didn't Castle use the "I was aiming for X" thing?

Yes, but at least we know that was a homage.

Is it a trope with only two known instances? Otherwise I'd say the FF scene was an homage to B7.

ION, I got men's slippers with rubber bottoms that my air cast can fit into, but I also scored new ankle support that is a bit more discreet that I might even be able to fit into one of my sneakers (I'm just concerned about the twisting involved in shoving my foot into one of my usual shoes). But, it's still better than the ace bandage, in terms of ease of getting on and off, and support.

There is no neat way to make marmalade.

Burrell, if you are coming in for MLA and would like to get together, let me know.

I am going, Sox, and would love to meet up. I'll be in interviews all day however, so not sure how much time I'll have. (I am on the interview committee this year.)

There was a similar bit in The Magnificent Seven. I think it's a not uncommon joke in Westerns, but I wouldn't call it a trope. I don't have an argument for why not, just an opinion. A strongly held but otherwise unsupported opinion. That should go a long way on the internet.

Go you with the marmalade making, Allyson!

I don't know why I even make plans. I have done no laundry. I did run the mower over the lawn (to no visible effect, but, whatever, I know I did it) and have some more meals in my larder and slightly fewer dirty dishes, so not a total productivity fail.

I had a fantastic weekend. One of the ARP gals invited 4 of us up to her cabin for a girls weekend. Wine, good food and just talking about everything under the sun. It was so restful and a needed break.

Her cabin is huge - 3 floors, 4 bedrooms, all the amenities, a wrap around deck/porch...very comfortable. They just rebuilt after losing the previous house in last year's fires.

The trope is described as "accidental aiming" and is defined as when a person makes a difficult shot, and then admit they were trying for something entirely different. My position is that having the same narrative setup and the same line of dialogue is not an "accidental aiming" trope. It would be a tripe with an immutable punchline, a trope of A is held hostage by B who is disarmed by C who was actually trying to kill them--immutable dialogue ensues.

I think that's too precise for a trope. Fits homage better.

Got home from the pool and raked and bagged up 3 bags of leaves. Well, technically 2 & 3/4. But the 2 were really full. Took only an hour. In the dark.

Loki is freaking obsessed with my enamel kettle today. It's getting shoved all over the stove and I keep expecting a crash. I have no idea what his problem is, he's gotten outside time today!

I mean, the little freak is seriously blissed out purring and rubbing all over the handle. IDEK.
