Sorry, honey, I can't mow the lawn this weekend. The crocodile got it. Yes, there really was a crocodile in our backyard. Just long enough to get the mower.
No, he shouldn't make any more Star Wars movies. The prequels were awful and his changes to the original trilogy were needlessly antagonistic to fans and common sense.

I read Tolkien's lit crit of Beowulf in college, so for years I could go around saying that I had read Tolkien, so as long as people didn't ask any follow-up questions.

Despite the official explanation, I suspect that the Doctor is behind this change.

As PDB once noted, better a pointed stick and a furious anger than a death ray and the soul of a rabbit.
