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

Also, what kind of SUV was he driving?

Range Rover, which got entirely legit. I may never own an SUV if I'm not going to go offroad like he went offroad. Good and bad. This is him [link] carrying my camera bag after he'd driven us out through the Rift Valley through numerous segments where the only other animals we could see were flamingoes and us three. Excellent cell reception everywhere.

Is anyone else thrown by the fact that Washington Irving has been written out of existence in this show?

I'm guessing you didn't notice the name of the police Captain. It's a coy show, and that's why I enjoy it. I think there's a Headless Horseman bridge because of the real horseman and Ichabod's actions, not because of a story.

I was gonna say that's like asking why no one watches Supernatural in Supernatural, but...asked and answered. It is the story.

I'm quite enjoying Sleepy Hollow as well. "There's more than one shot?" And the Sarah-Connor-esque sister in the asylum.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Thinking about this show is not good. For example, the battle of Lexington was not planned in a Hudson River Valley basement. It was not planned at all. It occurred before there was a Continental army.

Sleepy Hollow/Tarrytown was in a no-man's land between the British and Continental armies, so the tunnel idea actually makes some sense.

Because books.

But there's John Cho, Ginger! And Clancy Brown, at least for a minute!

Also, WHO is this guy who plays Ichabod because I need to see every thing he's ever been in.

I love old homes, but for actual living in, I'll take a modern house over a quaint and charming old one any day.

YES YES YES. Our first house when I was pregnant than when Noah came home was this great 1920s dealie with beautiful built-ins and a great O'Keefe stove, which is even that old. But it was miserable living.

I didn't say I wasn't enjoying it. I just have to be careful not to think.

I lived in a 1904 farmhouse for eight years. I do not recommend it.

It would probably sound wrong to say I learned not to think while watching TV a long time ago, right?

I love an old house. We lived in one circa 1910 for a long time. Then again, I didn't own it, and I didn't have to repair it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So I'm on Amazon and I searched for this:

collision 2012 obama vs. romney and the future of elections in america

Amazon then says:

Related Searches: the feynman lectures on physics 1971.

How are these searches even remotely related?

Word. If I want historical accuracy I'll watch PBS.

Job hunting question: if I'm applying for a job that's either in the Napierville, IL or "greater NYC" area, do I mention that I can commute from where I am in PA? Assuming they will, in fact, see that my address is in PA? Or don't bring it up until asked?
