but not knowing what a "death star" is?
Seriously, seems like that's part of the "cultural psyche" by now, like knowing who Romeo & Juliet or Adam & Eve are, despite never having read Shakespeare or the Bible.
Weird.
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

I dunno. Not everyone is going to know Adam & Eve is an adult products website.

I remember once having to explain to someone what the Hound of the Baskervilles was ... of course, this was the same person who needed to have "opposable thumbs" explained ....

Is there a different explanation than Sherlock Holmes?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Still around? Wow. I remember seeing their flimsy little catalogs sitting around the common room in college.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I could tell you Hound of the Baskervilles is a Sherlock Holmes story but that's about it. Part of me thinks it's werewolf-y but another part of me thinks there's no supernatural in Sherlock Holmes stories.

No supernatural Hound ... although the villain tried to give the impression of something supernatural. I think he'd seen the Far Side "poodle of the Baskervilles" and had to have the humor explained. At which point it stopped being funny. The opposable thumbs was also because of a Far Side cartoon. huh ... maybe the Far Side collections should come with annotations.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I got another on-campus interview, from a school where I thought I'd made a total mess of the phone interview. It's another Catholic school, which is weird -- the only schools that have shown any interest in me this year have been Catholic.

So, I was paging through the films on HBOGo, and he complained that the sound the Xbox made as each page went by was annoying.
And then he popped some food in his mouth and chomped.
I think I have bitten my tongue off.
