It's true. Once, when I was visiting Kyoto, I actually forgot how to eat, and a kind elderly man held me and tenderly bottle-fed me. I didn't even ask him to.

Louisiana's pretty easy to remember, as well- not just because it's the boot, but also because it's shaped like the first letter in Louisiana.

If someone showed me a map of a fantasy world they created with something like that on it, I'd think they were a hack. But, here we are, I guess!

This mfer right here. Total sugar bomb. Absolutely horrible for you. It's the best.

Awesome. So, yeah, anyway, the children's show about the talking dog that wears silly costumes and teaches you about literary figures. I really enjoyed that when I was a kid.

I figure it's because the year can be seen as an optional appendage if you're talking about dates from the current year. Like, I can say "that happened on May 5th," or "I'll be there June 18th," and you can reasonably assume I mean in 2024 unless I specify "June 18th, 2063."

Now, as for why you can say "I'm going on the 18th," but Americans don't say 18th of June, 2024, I haven't a clue. We really only seem to have logical explanations for the way we do things about half of the time.

My favorite was always Cocoa-Based Bloodsucking Supernatural Being of European Nobility.

Geoffrey the Giraffe, the original model for the Toys R Us mascot, tragically gave his life rescuing civilians during the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City. The image for the mascot was changed out of respect, as the company didn't want to posthumously use his image. The company has since struggled to find a suitable replacement.

It's scary, but it's something we all face someday. One day, I'll go, too. The only way to go is forward, Ralph. Farewell.

Ah, you're thinking of a chartess. Chartreuse is a long-neck avian fowl that's been burnt to a cinder
