“play me online? well, you know that i’ll beat you / if i ever meet you i’ll control-alt-delete you”

The Halloween-adjacent event at Eaglet’s school, coming up this Friday evening, is called Spiders & Cider.

That name bugs me, and always has. Really bugs me. Like, your budget is so limited you couldn’t afford to buy another S for that Cider? that would make a better rhyme?

The assertion that there’s only one cider for all attendees is bad enough, but it turns out, there’s never any cider.

The cider is a lie!

(In case you’re wondering, Eaglet & Friends are doing themed costumes this year: Sesame Street characters. Eaglet is Oscar, which is totally on-brand.)
