Also, it should be a law that footnotes can’t take up more than one page. I’m still bitter that my copy of Ivanhoe did this:
The first page of a footnote from Ivanhoe. The second page from a footnote in Ivanhoe. The third page of a footnote in Ivanhoe.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something about Eleanor Shellstrop that I really like.

I made the most of this trip to Barnes and Noble.
Several books on a floor. Aurora, four volumes of the Mirage Ninja Turtles, Batman vs. the Ninja Turtles, Batman: City of Owls, and Gideon the Ninth.

Reskeet with a tweet you still think about.
A tweet from TweetPotato314. It goes as follows: My wife: we have to wear what we died in for eternity!? St. Peter: That’s right. Me: [from the back end of our horse costume] What’d he say?

A customer review for a giant wooden horse. The first review is five stars, and says,”Wow this huge wooden horse is great!” The review is then updated to just one star, saying “Ok what the fuck.”

A Star Wars meme. The first picture is Luke, and it says “I will become a Jedi master, like my father before me.” The second picture shows Palpatine, and is captioned, “He was never a master. He was only on the council.” The third picture shows Luke again, saying, “It’s outrageous. It’s unfair! How can you be on the council and not be a master?” The last picture shows Darth Vader, saying “THAT’S WHAT I FUCKING SAID!”
