Recently retired federal employee, living in CA wine country.
Weโre two episodes in, and really enjoying it so far.

20.02.2026 00:27 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I had a few hard and fast rules during my years of Federal employment. One was that work events/events with coworkers do not involve bathing suits.
19.02.2026 22:51 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0The Anti-Deficiency Act (basically saying you canโt expend funds unless appropriated by Congress) does contain criminal penalties. To date no one has been criminally prosecuted, but that needs to change.
19.02.2026 20:26 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0โCome on, Oscar. Letโs me and you go get drunk.โ
Iโm Oscar.
I also love the way Angela says โideas just POP into me head.โ
19.02.2026 01:31 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I think Miss Piggy would be an excellent Charlotte Vale. Janice could play Tina since they both have stringy hair.
19.02.2026 01:27 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Has Jeff forgotten about Libbyโs origin story? Will Mary spend several weeks and a trip to the Bum Boat (not a euphemism) explaining how she gave her cat to Estelle?
18.02.2026 18:30 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Why would strategists stop Harris/Walz from saying how weird these guys are? They are incredibly weird.
18.02.2026 00:14 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0And I was thinking it would be a song in Sherry! since sheโs name-checked so many times in The Man Who Came To Dinner.
17.02.2026 22:21 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Felicia and Wallingford were a PAIR!
17.02.2026 19:25 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0If weโre recasting, as much as I love Coral Browne, I would like to see Talullah Bankheadโs Vera Charles.
17.02.2026 00:18 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Just like in the beginning of Arsenic and Old Lace!
14.02.2026 19:11 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Right next to childrenโs books. Maybe Jimmy will have a line of some sort of alcohol.
14.02.2026 15:14 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Katerina Witt is not โyour grandmotherโs doiliesโ by any stretch of the imagination.
13.02.2026 22:12 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0No longer a WaPo subscriber, but I imagine the author wasnโt around for the โbattle of the Brians,โ or Katerina Witt (certainly nor grandmotherly-like), not to mention Elvis Stojko.
13.02.2026 21:55 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Of course McEldowney makes heavy use of a thesaurus. He tells us a lot about himself with these strips (derogatory).
13.02.2026 15:13 โ ๐ 6 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0This sounds great! I loved Derry Girls. The interrogation scene with Liam Neeson (on YouTube) never fails to make me laugh.
12.02.2026 19:32 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Screenshot from the episode of The Simpsons where Homer sued The Frying Dutchman Restaurant for cutting off the โall you can eatโ buffet. His attorney, Lionel Hutz (Phil Hartman, RIP) is asking โdid this sound like the actions of a man who had all he could eat?โ
12.02.2026 19:29 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Please do it. Iโve had at least a dozen colonoscopies (thanks UC!), and theyโre a breeze. The prep is the worst part and thatโs moreโฆunpleasant.
11.02.2026 20:40 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0He was so young. He was always doing interesting things, including five episodes of Pose (I think he played Evan Petersโs boss?).
11.02.2026 20:35 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Murder, She Wrote! I love Angela Lansbury would find parts for her fellow old MGM stars.
10.02.2026 01:22 โ ๐ 6 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0We just rewatched it recently, and it is Joan who eats the candy. I agree with Little Mary that the bathroom is โperfectly ridiculous,โ but I mean it as a compliment.
My Joan go-to would probably be Flamingo Road or Sudden Fear. There are so many to choose from!
I think I saw this scenario in an art film once.
09.02.2026 16:00 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Ooh! These are all great. I would especially like to see Nicole Byer.
07.02.2026 01:46 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0People magazine has just been on fire lately.
07.02.2026 01:31 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Probably both were off in some corner of the store in case someone gets offended by their existence (not for the bad design).
07.02.2026 01:21 โ ๐ 5 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0For Pride the โQueen Tingsโ tote bag has rainbow stripes?
07.02.2026 01:16 โ ๐ 11 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0That makes sense, and it does sound like heโs a one person shop (or at least heโs not throwing an associate or clerk under the bus).
06.02.2026 16:48 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0So how about every question from the press is "When will the president apologize for his disgusting racism and also resign?" and they just keep asking that, and only that, till he does both (though I'll be fine with just the latter)?
