Only in New York, kids.

Or do I mean "Only on New York, kids"?
The rest of the sentence leaves a lot to be desired, but whatevs.
Whenever I can't remember which, by birthright, I'm supposed to say, I just ask anyone not from New York what they say, and when they say "in line" I know that I'm "on line."

If you follow me.
*As long as you're on line by 4pm you'll be able to cast your ballot.

Both easy *and* peasy.
And in answer to the next question:

I'd like borrow this, if I may, for live theater:

What's the most visceral collective audience response you've ever experienced in a theater?
Mine was the response to "Well, it would be your lucky day if I was" (in Angels in America: Perestroika).

The laughter stopped the show for at least three full minutes, and as the audience quieted down someone let out a late guffaw and IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN.

I was expecting, from the right, the racism, the misogyny, the boorishness, the stench-ridden desperation, but I wasn't quite prepared for the laughable ineptitude, and I am TOTALLY HERE FOR IT.

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up (Your Writing)

Go a week without

• very
• rather
• really
• quite
• so (in the very sense)
• of course
• in fact
• just (in the merely sense)

Go much, much longer without
• actually
To say nothing of

• interesting
• special
• famous
• iconic

Your periodic reminder that the very first thing we do as we prepare a manuscript for copyediting and design is kill all the double spaces.
I dunno, double space truthers, maybe look at a book published these last sixty/seventy years or so.
Also, some of you could stand to learn how to work the tab button, and that you can actually insert a page break rather than hit the return key TWENTY-FIVE TIMES.

if you refer to "the Democrat Party" you're a jagoff sorry I don't make the rules
Apparently I must once again assert/insist/aver that I learned the term "jagoff" as a Long Island teenager, not ever having knowingly met anyone who lived in Pittsburgh.
Ideal, I aver.

It’s bonkers that A Christmas Carol was published December 19, 1843, when it should have been published, absolute latest, the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
Please commence to organize your thoughts for the annual public debate on the question “Was Marley granted salvation for interceding on Scrooge’s behalf?”

We’ll get started a bit closer to Xmas.
Seriously, people bring fine thinking, pro and con, to this question, which I find fascinating.

To be continued.
