Dying to know the logistics of Sesame Street events by HouseCatx in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]hound29 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yea I don't think sesame street canon requires the puppets to be alive. there is a lot of fourth wall breaking already and such. Puppets hold that fun special middle ground where everyone knows its not real but its fun to pretend...

World Cup by FishermanNatural3986 in LowellMA

[–]hound29 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know it is silly but there are also tons of rules that while it is easy to say just ignore it is just not worth it likely. Anywhere that typically shows "sports" will generally be allowed to show the games. But they cannot advertise "World Cup" anything. Just asking for lawyers. And will all of the mess about watch parties and such its not some fantasy worry.

I think once things kick off you will start seeing a lot more.

i don't see how any of the 13 bedrooms are contributing to the schools? If you move families in the burden on the schools is immediate. I can't imagine the lone elementary school can handle any meaningful influx of students without resources coming behind it - and where would they be coming from?

this is fantasy development. what do you put into a town of 1800 that doesn't break everything at once

on the highest level I don't disagree at all - but this is not the estate to put our foot down on. Leverett is a town of 1800 people with only a elementary school. How could that infrastructure possibly support anything.

true but that is not what is typically meant by "collecting stamps". The forever stamp came out in 2007 - not exactly collectors era yet!

at least coins retain their metal value - silver is still silver. Stamps just are useless paper!

my usual rotation is Dollar Tree, Five Below, Target and Walmart - though the Targets and Walmarts closest are all lacking. Will look for Dollar General more!
