And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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 *always* make this mistake!

Your problem is you only check the price just before Wookie Life Day - you forget that Life Day parties drives the price of Ewok meat up some....

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Damn, that was a good guess you made, considering that it's within probably a tiny fraction of the actual cost.

Penguin science fiction covers past and present

The Art of Penguin SF is a beautiful thumbnail gallery of the covers of every (?) science fiction novel published by Penguin UK, starting with the 1935 edition of Butler's Erewhon. I grew up on these, and just seeing them there makes me want to tile my bathroom with them.

In fact, I was tempted to make the following joke:

"What's a rogue black?"

But then I realized it made no sense.
