Best program name ever. We can all use some Beavis humor these days.

It took a moment to get the zeitgeist connection--one of Cornholio's few intelligible phrases is "I need TP for my bunghole."

Wikipedia used to host a comically erudite page about Cornholio, e.g. studiously noting such discrepancies in his speech such as "my people have no bunghole" / "my people have but one bunghole".

i need this except for delivery windows on wholefoods and amazon fresh

Ha, I was thinking about building this. I was able to get an order in through periodic refreshing of the delivery time selection page.

Instacart and Postmates still seem to work, I'm told.

(I won't outsource mortal danger to someone poorer than I simply because they need the money more, and I don't want to give Instacart any of my business since they got busted stealing their delivery staff's tips, but those are your options if you want them.)

I'm not normally one to carp about product names—there was a semi-jokey discussion about calling a shared-viewing product 'Covideo' that bothered some people, but I didn't think it was such a big deal—but surely we can do better than this? Oh, well. As always with open source, it's my place to be grateful for the work you share (thank you!), not to complain about your not doing it on my terms.

The streets will flow with the blood of the nonbelievers!

This is a generational thing. Just as my mom won't expect me to understand "where's the beef?", I don't expect her or my students to understand this reference.

But for my generation, a more perfect name has never been devised.

seriously, I see prime now deliveries getting to my neighbors, how are they getting a delivery window? I haven't seen one in two weeks. I don't even really need it anymore, my wife and I just check for fun.

Try again at exactly 1:01am eastern and refresh every 5 minutes or less. It works for me.
