They might be, I haven't tested the hypothesis.

I got to wondering how the laws of hospitality that Paris violated by running off with Helen while he was Agamemnon's guest were related to Persephone eating Hades' food meaning she had to stay. Does anyone know?
I think Persephone had to stay, not because she violated hospitality rules, but because she ate food that was offered to her in the Otherworld. This is a common theme in mythology/folktales. If you ever go to Fairyland, don't eat or drink anything, or accept any gift offered to you, or you'll have to stay. FYI.
Yeah, I know, it just struck me that part of claiming hospitality is eating food that has been offered you (hence rituals where guests are offered, say, bread and salt) and it seems like those two, uh, I don't know what noun to use but I'm sure you know what I mean, might be related in some way.
I wish Publix would send its baggers to TJ's to learn how to use reusable bags.
TJs baggers are excellent at bagging in general. Unlike the Kroger method of put-one-item-in-a-plastic-bag-and-hurl-bag-in-cart.
That's how the fairies get you! If you refuse food at their table, they become Very Offended. So, basically, don't go to Fairyland.

Are we discussing Blindspot anywhere?
New fastest swim time in 3 years AND I came home to rat poison courtesy of Rat Rubout.
State of my life right now that I was equally excited by both.
Now just to get the roof leak fixed.
I have never been able to get Comcast's "autopay" feature to work. Ever.
Also, Thomas' bagels are awful.

I will once I've seen it. Alas, I am still at work.
