I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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

Yeah, I think familiarity with Shakespeare would make it more layered.

Right. Especially as the series goes on, they tend to reflect the various productions onto the backstage drama/comedy with multiple points of reference.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I am attempting to make a blackberry buckle. Fingers crossed.

How many buckles did you use? That's the key.

Luckily, buckles were on sale with the blackberries.

Pretty sunset: [link] Picture doesn't quite capture it. It filled the house with this lovely deep pink glow.

Compassionately intolerant

I have a dumb math question. I'm filling out an application that requires a weird formula for hours of performance. Did I do this right?

  • 110 hours divided by 104 = 1.05
  • 58 hours divided by 288 = .201
  • 1.05 + .201 = 1.25
  • 1.25 * 100 = 125

    If line 6 is more than 100%, you are eligible to apply for Endorsed membership.

    The math says I'm eligible, right?

Buckle is a success. I would probably cut down on the sugar in the topping next time.
