Wait, the Clementine lovers weren't referring to the John Ford movie?

Clementines are not mere citrus! They are...they are...juicy! I had one for lunch in honor of the new thread. Now, I'm all sad. Crying over my clementine.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That's why it was a good name--movies, American folksong, fruit--a PLETHORA of references.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Well don't take Hec's crack-smoking word for it! Me, I was referring to the gawdawful folk song. But see, that's the beauty of the thread title. It works on so many levels.

Honestly, the Pynchon novela is almost unreadably bad. If it hadn't been on the midterm, I totally would have skipped it.

If Chumley had been a girl-cat, he'd have most likely been a Clementine.

That's for sure.

For an ultrasmartie, you are so, so very wrong.

C'mon! It's got a Beatles parody band called The Paranoids. With songs!

Who wouldn't want to read that?
