Do authors really need to believe that, why they sell it so hard?
I think this is my question. It makes no sense to me!
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I quite enjoy The Hoff. Instead of fading away into obscurity, he's riding the irony. Kind of like William Shatner and all the commercials that play off his own cliche.

Jesse did you see NPRs Monkey See blog about TGW? I thought it was interesting and touched on part of what you are talking about.

See, I was just like- couldn't you go on Rte 88-- it isn't that hard!
It shouldn't have been that hard for Odysseus either, right? Just looking at a map, anyway.
In my imagination, upstate New York is full of sirens and Cyclopes and so forth.

Yeah, and it was actually reading her piece on HIMYM that made me have to post -- but not enough to register on the NPR site....

It's NOT?!?
Update on the maybe-married friend: at least one person has commented on the FB post with "Wait, what???" Which isn't quite the same as "IS THIS FOR REAL???" but close. I've decided to just watch it unfold without commenting. (Which, in the end, may make me a dick for not offering congratulations on a real wedding, but hey -- you get married for real on April Fools' Day and announce it without a disclaimer that it's for real, then you risk my extreme disbelief.)

Does that make Syracuse and Scranton scylla and charybdis?

I'd just offer nothing, Steph. Doesn't make you dick at all.
