Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That test makes me think of a kidney stone treatment Hubby had many years ago called a bilateral retrograde. Apparently it's banned by the Geneva Conventions. You can't do it to POWs, but health insurance covers it.

Hil, I hope your idea for online homework submission works out as well or better than you plan.
As for Sherlock Holmes, once upon a time, I would sit in front of the tv watching Jeremy Brett with my books open in my lap. In college, my history major (read: WWII buff) roommate and I would argue lengthily on whether Brett or Rathbone was the better Holmes. Given my reaction to Jackson's Fellowship of the Ring (stumbling out of the theater in the middle of the movie, never to return), I sort of half expected I would hate, hate, hate all the modern movie and tv adaptations of Holmes. But once I made up my mind to enjoy RDjr's version as an alternate universe, it worked spendidly. And once I broke the ice with that, I was free to love both Cumberbatch and Miller. While the writing for Sherlock and the performances are razor's edge perilously good, there are some ways in which Elementary is a more proper decendent of Brett's portrayal. Cumberbatch's Holmes is certainly from a few universes past RDjr's. But Miller's is something more like Conal Doyle's Holmes translated into modern times.

Blerg, Typo. May you have ease of not thinking about it too hard, and may the test itself not be nearly as bad as anticipated.

Much easier than anticipated ~ma, Typo.
My baby is 20 today. No more teenagers. Also, both boys are on my shit list because neither one of them bothered to call their 93 year old grandmother on her birthday. And I texted reminders to both of them. For those not in the know, kids are often jerks.
