Welcome to the multiverse. I come from a place with:

Fruit of the Loom with a cornicopia. One of my first experiences with a cornicopia.

Richard Simmons with a headband.

Flintstones then Flinstones then back to Flintstones.

Tinkerbelle and the magic castle on the opening of Wonderful World of Disney. Though I recently heard that it's back now. I haven't checked yet. I saw the Wonderful World of Disney enough times to know Tinkerbelle was at the end of the opening credits.

Verra Gie from the Dragonsbane series. They said it all the time my first two reads of the series. 3rd read through, it's gone like it never was. In print AND ebooks!

Mirror mirror on the wall vs magic mirror on the wall.

Monopoly Man with monocle

Depends not Depend

Pikachu's tail tip black. And I saw a lot of Pokemon with my daughter when she was growing up.

Star Wars "Episode IV, A New Hope" on the crawl. (I remember wondering, episode 4? What?) I saw the original in the theaters over 20 times on release.

Mickey Mouse with suspenders.

Curious George with a tail.

James Bond girl with braces smiling at Jaws in Moonraker.

Chik-fil-a. I remember seeing that and thinking it was the stupidest spelling ever. That was long before the cow billboards.

Objects in mirror MAY be closer than they appear. Even the damn Gary Larson Far Side cartoon changed! I always thought "May?" Either it is or it isn't! Now it's Objects in Mirror ARE closer than they appear!

Sinbad Genie Movie Shazaam!

Looney Tunes not Toons.

Smithsonian Institute not Institution

I know a guy that lives a few blocks away. I hadn't talked to him in a year or two, but he's pretty memorable, and he said his name was Harold. Not a common name anymore, and incidentally, it's the name of our son in law that lives down the block from him. So my wife and I clearly remember meeting Harold.

We'd drive by. "There's Harold!" and wave.

I talked to him last year, and he asked my name. I said "You're Harold, right?" He said no, his name was Frank. Wait. What?

My wife still remembers him being Harold. As do I. Frankly, this belongs here.

What's your story?

So. If silver has to be "inherited" for it to be useful against werewolves (Fool Moon) can you give your parents or grandparents silver and have them give it back to you?

Sorry, it's just how my mind works.

I don't know. Bring back the Titan? And maybe (I know, it's crazy) but f*cking market them this time?

I have a 2009 Lacrosse CXL about to hit 85,000 miles. It has one of the last of the 3800 engines, as they stopped making them in 2008.

She runs great, but I've always heard these engines are capable of getting up to 30 mpg. She gets more like 18-20 mpg, usually around town.

On a road trip last fall, I don't recall getting much better than that. Of course, she drove really well, and I was not driving slow. I know I don't exactly drive slow day to day either, but I'm not going nuts with it or anything.

What kind of mileage are you guys getting with your Buicks?
