Makes sense! It's a shame they discontinued Tab Clear and Crystal Pepsi...

Wait, coffee isn't a liquid??

I love a good Seiriol story. I have many!

This captures Seiriol perfectly!

Sad to lose my favorite playwright and my favorite cat in the same week. If there is an afterlife, I hope Fishnish is purring on Tom Stoppard's lap.

A Routledge colleague and I once Asked Jeeves how chickens have sex, but we did it on Aine Duffy's computer so that it wouldn't get traced back to us. That's how I first learned about the cloaca.
