I was at the Moth in Portland last week. You cannot imagine tha angst I felt as I watching Portlandia-thinking Judges evaluate the stories.

Fucked it up (multitasking). Should look like this:

"Anyway, come hit this right here. You need to hit this."

"No, I appreciate it, but I told my wife I wouldn't drink tonight. Besides, I've got a big day tomorrow. But you guys have a great time."

"A big day? Doing what?"

"Well, actually, pretty nice little Saturday. We're going to Home Depot. Buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring. Stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath and Beyond, I don't know. I don't know if we'll have enough time. ...You know what? Give me that thing. I'll do one."

Context here.

Edited to add: TRIFECTA!

All he needed was to say fixie; the rest would have been implied.

Fixies without brakes in Chicago tend to get pasted by buses and trucks at red lights when their hipster doofus riders aren't paying attention to the traffic.

A lot of women could get fired at Sebby's shoppe.

This. Tinker Bell's sister, Periwinkle, and the rest of the winter faires saved the day! See also Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure, when Tink broke the moonstone that creates the blue pixie dust that rejuvenates the fairy dust tree, but used her tinker skillz to fix. The Chicklet is way into fairies, so we have an extensive fairy garden in our back flower beds. Thankfully she appears to be the only 7 year old who doesn't give a crap about AG. She has never played with a doll ever. And since she never played with the Madam Alexander knockoff she got for her birthday that looks like her and is unimpressed with the AG dolls of her friends, I can escape any guilt I am depriving her. There is even store in my town, to which she has never requested we go. She would rather I drop large amounts of cash on the Chasing Fireflies Halloween costume catalog, the non-skanky ones, I should specify.

Could imagine being the woman hired to replace her? (and jeez don't someone do the obvious seinfeld link)

Every time Tink "saves the day" she's really just finding a solution to the problem she caused in the first place. If I hold a puppy under water for 10 seconds and then pull it up to save its life, I am basically doing what Tink does in every story.

Not really. Back when I innocently told Flower that he wasn't actually making sushi, I had no idea it would destroy his confidence to express his opinions. So when I cured the harm I did by PMing everyone to pretend em cared what Flower thought about music, that was basically doing what Tink does. You holding a dog under water is more like how I ran GGG off with Gilligan posts, intentionally, but then stopped because it just seemed cruel.

Brace yourself: Tink and Periwinkle are twins who were born when a baby's first laugh split in two on its way to the Pixie Dust Tree. They grew up apart because Periwinkle was raised in the Winter Kingdom, so each didn't know of the other's existence until fate reunited them.

We're talking about a company with a profit motive so strong it made "Bambi 2" without realizing it was shitting on something sacred.
