Life is eternal, Love is immortal, and death is only an illusion.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Can you blame him? Look what happened when he just mentioned a blonde vampire.

I'll tell you which one gets me:
"Revert back to" instead of the non-redundant "revert to."

If shrift is slounging with a drink in her hand, I shall be afraid to nap for fear of missing something.
Where do I fit in a conversation about naps and ponies?
Actually, I don't think I want to know.

If I only had a brain...
Relax. I'm pretty sure a "pony nap" is like a "dirt nap" -- means you fell off your horse. Completely wholesome.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I thought a dirt nap meant you were dead. No? Huh.

A dirt nap means you fell off Yosemite or something equivalently tall. I think. But a pony nap wouldn't be nearly as fatal. Unless you're riding Binky.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Dirt nap = dead, every time I've heard it.

I thought it was explicitly a climbing term. Suela?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
How you arrived at the dirt matters not. A dirt nap is a dirt nap, whether it was via failed-parachute or hot lead in the belly or arsenic.
Chandler would have it that a dirt nap is a little more dignified than being rolled into the sea with a cinder block tied to your ankle, but only just.
