2. When does something you throw away stop legally being yours?
3. Oatmeal is a perfectly adorable name for a snowman.
4. Frosty Day in Armonk, New York.

6. How long it would actually take to write, “I am very sorry for what I did to Frosty,” a million times.
7. The stupidest places we’ve ever been dropped off.
