Yeah, Plinko is misleading and the restriping is unrelated to The Price Is Right. It's just my day off!
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

YES.
I miss watching The Price Is Right. It always reminds me of being home sick on my grandmother's sofabed, which she would only pull out if I were REALLY sick.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Man, why don't I get to see pretty gay men kissing commercials on tv? I'm sure there are plenty of pasta-eating gay men in the US. Don't they deserve targeted commercials too?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
So, I had a really promising job interview on Tuesday (the FIFTH interview at this particular place) and the person conducting the search said he expected to call me by Friday to let me know one way or the other, and I cannot concentrate on a single thing except WHY IS MY PHONE NOT RINGING YET??

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

Hey, there's a gay couple on the most popular sitcom in the US. You need more?

Five interviews?!? That is bananas. I mean, unless you're about to be announced as the 10th member of the Supreme Court, in which case, congrats!

Or Google.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Oh, come on, the family in Home were the creepiest X-Files characters ever!
Heh. They were certainly disturbing but they didn't make my skin crawl the way Donnie Pfaster did. I think he was more creepy to me because he was more plausible, at least in his first episode. He was just a guy. Totally evil, but still just a guy. Later when they made him a bit more supernatural he didn't scare me quite as much.
Bob, from Twin Peaks, was the only one to cause me to lock my bedroom door though.

An insecure lady asked me about her age today. I tried to explain to her why I was bad at guessing ages.
"How old am I?"
"This is about me."
"I'm trying to explain to you why I can't answer *your* question. How old?"
"Early thirties?"
"So if I told you I thought you looked the same age as I do, you'd be okay with that, right?"
"Yeah..."
"I'm 44."
"I'd be *wounded* if you told me I looked 44!"
That's my nutshell, hun.

Re: The Price is Right:
I submitted an article to an economics magazine. The article's title is "The Price is Wrong". The editor responded within an hour of submission saying that there would be a long process before deciding whether to accept or not, but they already had a consensus on one point. If they do accept the article the title will be set in a "groovy 70's font".
