Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

bt, what's with your country's colour sense? Why are the ballgirls and boys at the Open wearing pepto abysmal pink?

I can only assume it's to try to make the players' fashion choices look more acceptable.

Incidentally, this is the first Oz Open in yonks that I recall being played in bearable weather. It's a warm one today, but they've mostly been getting termperatures in the 20s. Forecasts for the next week are also in the 20s, except Australia Day.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

She also quoted an anonymous stylist as saying, "You don't put a big girl in a big dress. That's rule number one."

Asshat. She's got a stunning figure.

I agree, Cass, she has a stunning figure. And she's gorgeous. I don't think she's big but I think she's bigger than the LA lollipop and the dress was a lot of dress that really did her curviness no favors. Too tight (titscrepency!) in the bodice and the flounce that went from hip to other thigh was just Not Good on a stick, let alone a woman with curves. It's a big dress in there was a lot going on with the dress and the bigness of the dress detracted from the pretty of the woman.

But I'm not a stylist.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Who wants to help with Emmett's homework?

It's puns and the periodic table.

For example:

Clue: A person from Troy who only goes out at dark.

Answer: Nitrogen.

The puns are not always exact, so use a loose standard.

2. Grab that guy!

3. What do you do before you brand a steer?

4. Boards that have been nailed down to walk upon.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can only assume it's to try to make the players' fashion choices look more acceptable.

It matches Nadal, which I feel reflects poorly on him. It contrasts almost perfectly with Federer who I'm watching right now, as if coordinated.
