Problem focused, solution oriented. ~What's the best way to eat an elephant?~ I'm probably the person to talk to if you have passionate opinions about the part of the early 90s where Fox had an hour of Sunday comedies from 10-11 PM.

One thing the Puyallup Fair should definitely be doing in these times of budget shittiness is going back to "two weeks/three weekends" and no more overlapping with the Evergreen State Fair, you're blocking vendors and exhibitors to take away nickels you'd already get anyways.

Man, you forget just how awful the "no school, no holidays" climate is for grocery deal shopping until you hit those six weeks every July-August between the 4th and the start of school.

One thing I remember from the Big Smoke a few years ago was the way the leaves turned by early September because they were smoked up for two weeks, we will see if this matches that.

I bet that if you pulled enough thread, you'd find that two gun enthusiasts in a mid-sized rural town probably crossed paths plenty before one became a hero by stopping the other from committing more crime.

There being an Eli Roth Ice Cream Man movie puts me in mind of the fact that they've done this TWICE before; I swear there was a DIFFERENT early-90s murderous ice cream truck movie that got uslurped by the magnetic presence of Clint Howard, but I can't remember it.

Usually the way, though, right?; "I heard a story that made me think, I should prepare if that happens to me. So I took nights. Weekends. Did MY OWN training. I WAS READY. When the situation arose, I leapt into action! I missed EVERY shot. Then he shot himself. Backpats for engaging, though!"

The "mythical, heroic good guy with a gun" rolled up, emptied his clip at a 0% hit rate, and "maybe distracted!" the guy who'd killed 3 already. 🤔 This man should have streets and schools named after him, since hitting a target is for criminals, true heroes miss 100% of the shots they still take.

I'd also implement a "rallies for the opposing team/players will no longer be allowed at the arena, but you can hold them at their team hotel or in this vacant lot a mile and a half away, you can pay to park there too" rule, hell are you letting the opposition have a rally before your game?

A smart WNBA team would write language into their ticket sales to the effect of "if we sniff out that you're here to be a political distraction, we reserve the right to revoke your ticket privilege/reseat you in row ZZ where you'll get no attention on your signs and shirts".

Shitty candidate: I'm doing a small town, whistlestop tour across my district! Here are businesses that support my views! Businesses: actually, you never spoke to us and just assumed we'd host you without issue, fuck off.

Thing is, your "cog" types implicitly accept the pedo class, because they make the market go vrooooom, which is how one gets that retirement/pension dream the pedos have sold as the reward for tolerating their misdeeds. When people get exposed, that dream- and years of work- becomes dust instantly.
