I have noticed that some old Disney films, such as Sleeping Beauty and The Aristocats, casually show drunkenness as humorous. That could never be done these days.

Yet another good reason to wear a mask.

My favorite is my family motto: uitlem iliam velut tempore.
"It seemed like a good idea at the time."

What a fascinating study!

I remember when, years ago, I owned only one gun and I tried to disassemble its bolt in order to clean it. When I was done, I found that I couldn't put the bolt back together. I no longer had a functional gun in my home. Suddenly, I felt unsafe. But I hadn't felt that way when I owned no guns at all, which was odd.
Anyway, I took the gun to a gunsmith who glared at me like I was an idiot and snapped the bolt back together with a single motion of his hands. Bearing that look was the only cost I bore for the service. I would rather have given him money.

I take no chances and eat both first and second breakfasts.

There's a good episode of Cadfael with this premise.

Just as when hotels say that they won't change the sheets "to protect the environment," I think that the real motivation here is to reduce costs.

Okay, the Oldsmobile Aurora was ugly. But was also one of the last full-size, rear-wheel cars ever produced for the American market.

That 1975 Triumph is pretty.
