You run around with a broom in your hand. What's not to like?
Er wait, I just reread and I see we are saying the same thing.
As you were.
Hey, evil dead, you're in my seat.

My kids seemed to think that if you were not actually flying, it was not Quidditch. They were very firm on this point. The lack of a Snitch was also an issue.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
IIRC, somebody plays the part of the Snitch, so it's a little bit like tag. Me, I'd prefer a greased and hyperactive piglet let loose on the course.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I tend to agree with that.

If you want to run around on the ground with a broom, that's cool. But don't call "soccer" "basketball".

Oh yeah? You try telling that to a US American. They already got a game called football? So what? We'll call it "football" if we goddamn want to!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
If the Tea Party is still considered a significant force in Republican politics, then we may see a bunch of Republican Congressmen doubling down on the stupid.
This was a narrative I heard a lot after the 2012 election, which should mean that this IS the double-down. I really hope so, because otherwise the next round of doubling will be getting into exponentially-deep-pit-o'-stupid territory.
(Not to mention because I really want them to take their toys and go home real soon now, especially the parts that infest the NC state house.)

Parts of Utah are very sad we don't have a means to recall politicians. We apologize for that idiot Lee.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Just redacted details of an incredibly frustrating conversation with a co-worker. No wonder nothing gets done.

Well, there go our dinner plans. The bag of frozen chicken breasts we had bought at Costco is indeed marked with a batch number that's on the "Whoops, salmonella" list.
