Okay, so is anybody else seeing like a partial html link in PE's post above on the word "shot?"

I saw it up the thread in one of Jen's posts. Took me to Yahoo.

Have I been infected?

You could google the translation for:

"shave and a haircut, two bits..."

That's "Doc" Smith, right? Never read him. I know, heresy.

Drink lots of Sterno, and hyperventilate. You should be OK after that.

Unless it was by the KC Royals, you shouldn't hold it against the Cubbies.

Timeline's much better in book form. Not as though that's saying much.

The space opera I was referring to is very well written space opera. Politics. Intrigue. Twisted military geniuses. A kid with a private mercenary fleet. Three minor characters I want to steal....

Yup, E.E. "Doc" Smith. Old fashioned (it was written in the 30s & 40s) but interesting in that it was the first.

"I should like to sing 'Il mio tesoro' from Mozart's Don Giovanni...but I can't..."

or

"...but they tell me I have to sing this bit of Verdi instead."

"Ah, che la morte ognora
È tarda nel venir
A chi desia, a chi desia morir!...
Addio, Leonora!"

(Thunderous applause)
