That time I was watching Star Wars with my son:

Me: "You see that big square droid in the back? That's my favorite. That's Gonk."

Son: "..."

Gonk: "Gonk."

Me: "Gonk."

Gonk: "Gonk."

Me: "Gonk."

Follow-up: #Seattle DOT linked me to this page that says way at the bottom that drivers should be ready to put traction devices on for safety. So chains ahoy!

Anyone in #Seattle know if it's permissible to use snow chains in the city when it's snowing? I've tried googling around and can't find anything that says yes or no.

Looks like snow starts again 10am Friday, and I kind of need to drive somewhere on Friday night.

Last boost: none of the weddings I went to were like that.

Fresh Off The Boat would be the closest, but that takes place at home as much as in the reataurant

Cheers: bar
Fawlty Towers: restaurant
Friends: coffee shop, for part of it
Kim's Convenience: store, obvs
Superstore: store

Random thought: without googling, can you think of any sitcoms that center around a restaurant? I can't, off the top of my head.

Lightsabers must be so uncomfortable to hold and wield, with all those unergonomic sharp bits and smooth sections and such.

Could the Cheers writers have written Sam and Diane happy together and centered the show around something else? I haven't watched the rest of the series but I get the impression they were forced to by Shelley Long's departure.

Thinking about how Sam and Diane's "Will They or Won't They", and how in Michael Schur comedies the answer is "Hell yeah they did now let's move on"

Toesies

I wouldn't fight any cows. They didn't do anything to me.

Would you rather fight Really Big Cow or fifty normal-sized cows

I made a goddamned pie.

Hey isn't that the dad from ALF?

I can't not hear Kate Mulgrew as Captain Janeway. This character seems to be pretty close to her Star Trek character.

Shut up, Cliff.

Hey it's Captain Janeway!
