Small correction, only discovered when I moved across the country: there are two factories producing Girl Scout Cookies -- and the recipes have overlap, but each production company has a few unique ones. So sometimes I have to order from my niece rather than my neighbor.

Some of them are the same everywhere, though.

Nepotism. There's some story I heard about how he coach surfed in California until he got a contract, and I figured he must have SOME talent, then found out he was staying on Jamie Foxx's couch, so clearly some he knew someone...

Except unfortunately my 30 second Wikipedia fact check shows he didn't. He met Foxx because he was invited to be a guess on Foxx's show and must have made a good impression. He did make seemingly the hardway; he started out as a working musician working with other musicians and worked his way up. Didn't hurt that he got a positive review from Elton John early on, but the guy apparently has something.

Damn. I thought I figured it out...

Many years ago, long before the advent of cellular phones or even really GPS units, when doing road trips in convoy, the local ritual was "Are we there yet?" "Twenty minutes."

Said question, over the course of a few years, migrated from "we're off the highway and approaching our final destination" to as we were departing... But everyone was in on the joke.

I don't think the people waiting another two weeks are in on the joke.

Original NES Metroid was the second game I ever beat, after Super Mario Bros. 3.

Warner shelved Acme and instead we get the worst Chris?

Oh, did you mean Brock "The Rapist" Turner? I heard he raped an unconscious woman because he's a terrible human being and also a rapist.

Clearly it's a Flatypus.

... Belgian style waffle or closer to Eggo? I'd be concerned about the deep pockets of the Belgian (non-Leige) waffles. Do you add any support material or stuffing, or just eggs?

Thank you, I'm planning for next weekend with my kid. =)

I have just ordered a Brother ADS 1700W. You've convinced me!

Since I have this exact problem and need... I went looking. By any chance did you mean the Brother ADS 1700W? If I'm going to take recommendations from strangers on the internet, I want to be sure I get it right. =)
