  • Please send a self-addressed envelope. It will have to be inside another envelope. But that one should have my address—the one on the outside.

    I can’t give you my address, but I’m on one of the continents and via process of elimination, you’ll get it eventually.

    It might take a while, so you should probably remind me by including a note that you want the boiled eggs.

    It might sound like you would end up sending letters asking for eggs to everyone on earth, but unless I’m the last address you send to, that seems pretty unlikely.

    I promise fast boiled-egg shipping once I receive the self-addressed envelope (inside the envelope with my address that arrives at my address). You may need to plan to receive other eggs from other people at other addresses, if they respond to your boiled-egg request attempts.

    Apologies in advance, I have a policy of not dealing in hollandaise.








  • I agree with the graphic.

    However, I recently completed a straight watch-thru of every Simpsons episode, and while watching the lackluster episodes from seasons 20-30, I have to acknowledge one thing:

    Quality of the show and its writing have noticeably improved since around Season 32.

    The most recent episodes feel more centered on the family and much less on bizarre cameos and really outrageous situations. It actually feels like a show about the Simpson family and treats the characters more age-appropriately.

    I don’t like that they lost/recast established voices of minority characters (Apu, Carl, Dr. Hibbert, etc), I do think the quality and the focus of the show is much better than it has been in almost 2-decades.
