On The 17 Best Failed TV Shows Of The 80s (As Judged By Their Openings)
Will now obsessively watch the "Paper Dolls" and "Jennifer Slept Here" themes all day.
Also, just a friendly suggestion: have you considered using something like tubeclip to select only the portion of the video you want us to see? That way we don't have to scroll 8 minutes into a 9-minute video.

On Paying Back Your Friends: A Conversation
@Bridget Callahan I'm a Mike, and two weeks ago I went to a convention that had SIX DOLLAR ATM CHARGES with a friend (not even counting the $2.50 your own bank dings you).
My friend sometimes pays his bills late (often, actually) and eats out whenever he feels like it. I count pennies compulsively and have paid an ATM fee maybe twice in my life.
He withdrew 2x the cash while I ranted about how we should leave and handed me half. I repaid him + $3. Sad day.

Ohh, that border! For a second, my amazement that the Fenians had resurrected led to fascinating imaginings. Alas.

Thank you, Carrie. What a talent you have for finishing the rough seams and transforming the wholesale cloth into dazzling couture.
