Greetings, dolls! First off I want to apologize for not getting this snark up sooner. I was just exhausted all week and sleeping. I would get up, play Animal Crossing a bit, scroll through Tumblr say 'I should work on my snark...' and fall asleep. But I got back on a better sleep schedule and got back to work. And aw, yeah! This part of the snark

but keeps coming back to Mary Anne to check on her.--I like Logan's doing this. And what does it say that somebody Mary Anne's just met is doing this and her cult friends are leaving her alone? I'm assuming they're leaving her alone this entire time?
Wait a week Mary Anne, I'm sure SMS will have a 'Two Minus Three Equals Negative Fun!' dance.--LOL! Excellent. :D
Loved the snark! :)

The BSC is totally unreasonable about Jenny. Look how many times Karen has scared her siblings. Jenny loves Andrea. She would never treat her the way Karen treats Andrew. I can count the times Jenny's been a brat on one hand whereas Karen is brat in every chapter she's in. And let's not forget that Jenny is four Karen's almost twice her age and supposedly advanced so, there's no reason she should act brattier than Jenny.
I don't think Ann was ever a kid. I think she came out of the womb at 50.
Yeah, if I was Mrs P, I wouldn't be too pleased that my sitter lost my dog and didn't even go look for him. I know Stoneybrook is pretty idyllic and nothing bad would really happen, but it still doesn't show the responsibility ( ... )

It's hard to beat 80's comedy. That was back when there was less concern about offending people, and so they could really let go. Movies like Trading Places couldn't be made today because of a well-placed N-word (the Duke brothers were nearly likable, and that word was used at just the right moment to make sure the viewers remembered that they're the bad guys in every way), yet when you watch it, it's amazing. Even Ghostbusters likely wouldn't be able to get made today because today's viewers would call out Louis for raping Dana since she couldn't consent since she was possessed...even though Louis was too. We can enjoy these things because they were already made, but they couldn't get made today.
Don't forget this little movie called THE LITTLE MERMAID.
Even sports was more exciting. Pre-steroid scandals. Just good fun.
And no Cheeto for president.
Can we go back to 1988?

I think Mary Anne's dance outfit is the best in the series. It's funny that this is the one everyone remembers and loves rather than one of Claudia's outfits.

Ann grew up a privileged kid. I don't think she regularly saw stay-at-home moms in jeans.
Mary Anne is like, 'Your male grasshopper is named Elizabeth?'
Trufax: Adolf Hitler's middle name is Elizabeth. Adolf Elizabeth Hitler.
It's too bad Logan turned into such a douche waffle in later books.
Logan gets all the crap for that, but when you think about it, his actions could reasonably be the result of Mary Anne smothering the hell out of him and always thinking he's cheating.
Maybe it's me, but I don't see why a kid shouldn't put stickers on the wall or wherever. Because the walls in this house cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and painting them costs in the four figures (we're about to do it again), and I'm not spending that kind of money to have the place covered in stickers. Our daughter can sticker the walls in her bedroom, but otherwise, no. I don't want my house messed up, whether that's stickers that can't be removed or ( ... )
