I hadn't heard of him; that's cool!

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.

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

Awww, didn't you know about Emperor Norton, before? He's even in the Sandman comics.
That's where I learned about him.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Aww fuck. At work this afternoon I noticed a helicopter just hovering in one spot, about 100 feet up. For at least an hour. Now I find out a 17 year old kid was shot and killed about 4 blocks from where I work. Damn. Poor kid.

Huh, I would have thought he was more famous than that -- I was surprised by how many people hadn't heard of him when he was referenced in Sandman, so I guess I'd overestimated his fame....
The temperature has dropped like ten degrees in the last hour and a half! I'm taking this as a sign that God loves me and wants me to be happy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I totally want Tater Mitts. The ad came up the last time I was peeling apples for a pie, and I almost cried with the wanting of it. I just couldn't remember what they were called.
Of course, there's no guarantee they work or anything.

Do you have a microplaner?
Also, I have affection for commercials that make everyday tasks look super hard, like the commercial embedded in that page. Like the colander ones that make it look fucking IMPOSSIBLE to use and keep a colander. Love them!

Now tagless for your comfort.
I covet the Tater Mitts. I'm a sucker for As Seen on TV products.
Creepy. Benoit's Wikipedia page was updated about his wife's death hours before authorities discovered the bodies.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I love Emperor Norton. I think about him every time I go past the Federal Reserve, which is every work day.

From DJ's article: 'And, surprisingly enough, the general public’s reaction was apparently “Cool. We have our own emperor.”'
Which is a good summation of the City's attitude in general.
