Top hats confuse people, apparently.
Lions, also. Hence, the reason their trainers wear them.
But Jilli can only tame very tiny lions.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My Niece is coming here for college in January. Last I heard, she was going to live with us if she didn't find a place. She came out here for a week in early December and we put her up and took her everywhere (Roscoe's! Studio Tour! The Grove! Etc.!)and, as good Aunt/Uncles do, we made sure she didn't spend one cent. Since she went back to VA, I have sent an assload of friendly emails to her and her mom asking how she is, when she is coming, if she wants us to find a place for her, yadda yadda and have heard nothing. Not a word. Finally, my mom tells me last night that she got on-campus housing. Still haven't heard anything from niece or her mom. I know she's not angry at us, I think she just has no manners.

Butter. (It's also what makes them shortbread.)
What about shortcake? Same deal?
No, with them it's the strawberries that make them so good.

I meant that the top hats tend to be tiny. Not the Jilli.

When I am Queen of Everything, the weather is going to be appropriate for velvet and tights all year.
Who do we bribe to make this happen?

I thought it was the ring masters who wore the top hats and the lion tamers wore those beige, safari looking hats.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think the lion tamers can wear either.
