Thank you for asking this question! I just had a little freak out submitting my own query with the formatting of your first example. Happy to hear it works.

What makes that Mafia so bad? I wanna know!

I'm literally doing a rewatch of Practical Magic right now. And nail art magic?!?! This sounds fantastic.

When people say "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear." the correct response is:

"I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are."

Guess who's up before dawn to pick food from his garden because he learned that AFTER planting black eyed peas in one of his beds?

Woah now, be careful clueing the masses into the birthday count back. My wife and her brothers did that once as teens. Though a couple years separated each of them, All their bdays were clustered within a week or so. They did the count back... And found their dad's birthday. Instant regret.

Scooby I am as white as a hotel towel, and the closest thing to Mexican I am was a single all inclusive resort stay in Cancun. I put a Mexican flag sticker on my old Tacoma abd was promptly pulled over by ICE in San Antonio. I'm happy to waste their time 1d RookaTX This is the way Scooby • RookaTX Their big question was like, "why the sticker" I told them it was on the truck when I bought it-and they suggested I remove it. Obnoxious creatures. 1d

You ‘run the gamut’ and ‘run the gauntlet.’

You don’t ‘run the gambit.’

gamut = entire range or series

gauntlet = severe trial

Gambit = Alpha-level mutant who can convert potential energy to kinetic energy
