One of the most annoying varieties of would-be pedants is the one who gratuitously replaces “who” with “whom,” or “me” with “I,” thinking it makes them sound smarter.

Firetruck
Is this a thing? I thought my little brother was the only kid who wanted to be a firetruck (not a firefighter, but a firetruck).
[OT] Actually, speaking of Bill Murray…
Groundhog Day, while clearly the most famous of the “living the same day over and over and over again” genre, wasn’t the first. Does anybody know what the first one was?
I’m talking about multiple do-overs, as opposed to “Scrooge woke up and it was still Christmas morning and now he could do it right.”

We all know the fallacy here, bien sûr…
Tomatoes and Peaches

- If this Child Who Isn’t Caulfield is a boy, and he’s unable to eat like a human being, he can just take off his shirt. That what my kids did in the summer before they learned to eat properly (though I don’t remember peaches or fresh tomatoes ever being an issue).
Pumpkin Spice [OT, other than the fact that we’re about to see countless comics mocking the trend]
This is the most unappealing pumpkin spice item I’ve seen this month:
Andréa countered with this:
Any other nominees? Please send a photo (or attach it to a comment below, if you can). Only actual products, please.
B.A.: “He must have been planning to buy her one cheap-ass engagement ring…”
“… and was he planning to propose tonight and buy the actual ring the next day if she accepted? Or was he going to give her the ring money and ask her to pick it out herself?”
