It is!
And it’s a fun stupid party trick to have someone pick which letter to start from.

Not even if he shouts? 🤣 🤣🤣

Ha!

That’s me learning the alphabet backwards to the alphabet tune (when I’m SO bad at music) because sorting and filing in only one direction alphabetically was KILLING me.

“Twister is not better than leapfrog, Ed!”
“Course it is! There’s no leaping!”

Whoops weekend fic idea? Louis interrupts Ed & Stede and panicked Stede claims they were ‘playing leapfrog’. The next day Louis insists on playing leapfrog with him for hours. Ed calls it torture, Stede scoffs, turns out Ed’s right. That night Louis interrupts them ‘playing twister’.

Kinda the point, actually, with the point being exhaustion.

Turns out the adults win because it wears out the kids!

That seems to be the point of it, maybe? Some parent was probably like, “go jump over each other for a while” and the whole world went “BRILLIANT!”

Well, I did not expect a movie from the 1880s of nude French boys playing leapfrog on the leapfrog Wikipedia. You know what else I didn’t expect to see - WWII concentration camps.

The way my brain leaps to any other topic as soon as I start trying to read that sentence is kinda impressive. (How does one win at the game leapfrog?)

So I thought it was every 4 years but they’ve second-Tuesday-after-first-Monday’ed it?

That’s his ‘horny math’ face and Stede knows it
November 12, 2025 at 5:36 PM
That one extra day fucks his math so bad he has to start all over again.
Or quit.
Because ADHD.

Gotcha. We have a long history of that, don’t we?
November 11, 2025 at 7:02 PM
This just me excited to share interesting and little-known history - not trying to be a dick about your comment or be like ‘OMG don’t you know about the cars?!’ 🫣 Not sure how it came across.
November 11, 2025 at 7:00 PM
But it got so bad when we switched to cars!

I can’t find a good article but episode 193 of The Dollop podcast is called When the Cars Came.

It’s a wild story, if you’re interested. Lots of avoidable death and very imaginative ways to raise awareness to stop the death toll.

True

Every year!

I love snow but it’s too early this year! What is it, the 1980s?
November 11, 2025 at 3:04 PM
LOVE that one!

I want to read focus group notes on all of this.
November 10, 2025 at 10:46 PM
Fucking diabolical
November 10, 2025 at 10:43 PM
I …. I don’t know if that’s much better? 😆
November 10, 2025 at 8:48 PM
Sure! Let me know if you do; I want to read it!
