This reminds me of Douglas Adams:
The grisly scene before him was like nothing Detective Smith had ever seen before, but there were millions and millions of things he had never seen before, and he couldn't help but wonder which of them it was.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How they don't have LA's 405 is beyond me.
Well they have the 101. Really, not sure which is the most truly hellish of LA's freeways. I tend to hate both the 5 and the 405 with equal hate, although the 405 is far more useful to me.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Some time ago one of the government agency cafeterias became so notorious for its bad food that it was being called the Alfred Packer (Parker?) cafeteria (after the man of whom, at his sentencing, the judge said, "there were only four Democrats in the county and he et three of them").
One day someone called trying to make a reservation for a party, name of Donner.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The 405 is not that bad in a world with the 101.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I thought I had seen it, until I saw the scene in question and I gasped at how much sorrow was evident on the screen. Holy shit. If I had seen that whole movie and had been confronted with THAT as the final scene? I would have been done in. Just done in. No more tissues in the house.

Thrive to spite them
I watched the clip from The Champ and I cried but Rick Schroder did a really good acting job.
This inspired me to watch So Proudly We Hail, which gets me going every time and I'm about to get to the first par that makes me cry.
