"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Wow, those records will never be broken, will they?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Not until tommyrot builds a tennis-playing cyborg.

They'll change the rules next year I reckon; ain't no one breaking these records.

I will be astonished if they're both able to move to play tomorrow.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Not until tommyrot builds a tennis-playing cyborg.

Actually, two. That play each other.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

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

But haven't there been cricket matches that lasted longer?

Involving 20 more people, mostly standing around and taking breaks for cucumber sandwiches, yes.
