I am really curious where the terms 'brothel creepers' and 'winkle pickers' came from.
Is there any crossover? Can one get one's winkle picked in a brothel?
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Winkles are mussels, so a winkle picker is something pointy enough to pry open a mussel.

Can one get one's winkle picked in a brothel?
For $10 extra, sure.

If I only had a brain...
SO repealing today.
Woke up. Household tally: One son throwing up for second day, one daughter feeling malade for second day, me with migraine.
Today? So over it.

hip deep in pie
The only problem with repealing today is that I am going to be just as tired in a redo.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm more than half through today. Tomorrow is car tune-up, so I leave work early (and cost of tune-up is covered by warranty).
Can I take a make-up repeal on Thursday?

Your tag here.
SO repealing today.
I read this as "Significant Other repealing today." and thought that that was an unusual way to describe a relationship breakup.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Can I take a make-up repeal on Thursday?
Sure. We're not inflexible.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Can we just skip today, instead of repealing? I don't like the idea of a redo either.
