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.
Xander: I do have Spaghetti-os. Set 'em on top of the dryer and you're a fluff cycle away from lukewarm goodness. Riley: I, uh, had dryer-food for lunch.

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.
My kids seemed to think that if you were not actually flying, it was not Quidditch.
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".

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
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.)

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.
