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.
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

More update: the bride commented and said, "I got married. I know it's strange, but it felt right and I'm very happy."
I fully admit that I'm still wondering if it's an elaborate prank, but I'm going to go ahead and congratulate her anyway.
(I can't begin to understand her personal life; in October she and her live-in boyfriend of 4 years broke up, and 2 months later the boyfriend was engaged to a new girlfriend who's 16 years younger than him, and then the bride in question quickly got back together with a long-ago ex, who she apparently just married. I need a diagram to keep it all straight.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So it's just like HIMYM in real life, then?
