Well, it might upset the family to kiss her, but at least Prince Charming isn't going to get her pregnant, as is told originally.

Now all he needs is to finance campaigns against flies, sparrows and mosquitoes.

He was going to . . . melt it down? Even though it's made of gold and such, it's also crafted beautifully. Surely anyone could tell that it is a work of intrinsic value and beauty, even if made of baser metals! To think that, were it not for Google, this artifact would have been lost to the furnace!

If you have a bad fall, and hit your head, you may drown while unconscious. That adds another element of danger to the sport!

With all those lights, etc overhead, I think it would be wise to stay under the table for a bit longer.

IIRC, it was at this time that hair spray started being marketed for men.

waitaminnit. Does that mean that Pi Day next year will be kind of a Super Jubilee Pi Day, since we'll gain two more digits? (3.14.15)

Hmm. OK, let's do an experiment.
"I'm going out to get some milk and cookies from Voldemort"
(Sounds terrible. They'll be spoiled or poisonous)
"I'm going out to get some milk and cookies from Volde-Mart"
(Sounds . . . actually about the same. Who would buy food at a Volde-Mart?)

Nope, the "Mor" phoneme has no effect at all!

I like the way he put that: 'we will have overcome the cold war', not 'we will have won the cold war'

"It’s after pasteurization that the real flavor comes out."
That's funny. I'd think that raw milk advocates would say the opposite.

See? So, he's really a legitimate and democratically elected leader. He's not a despot at all!

OK. We men can be so fragile. Women: Please treat us gently and let us have our little prerogatives.

While some writers-in-residence may try to live-blog their trip, most will probably treat the experience like the fabled 'friend's beach house' writers retreat. I imagine that the background sounds of rail travel will offer the same threshold of non-distracting stimulation that coffeehouse sounds do.
