Stitchawl, you are my hero for the Bond reference

Thanks. I leave you the Aston Martin should Betty and Shel succeed in their hit. (My teas get split between Beppe and Astra.) Having been warned by Prof.Crash, I've been taking extra care in crossing the streets, drinking from strange glasses, and kissing unknown wimmins.

It always be wise to beware of strange women. at least in sight of TWMBO (It should have read TOWMBO)

Washing the T-shirt was a smart thing so he would not soil the upholstery of the chair when you gave him dinner. Brain ...

It was actually pretty funny when he wanted to sit on my sofa to rest for a while and took a towel spontaneously to 'protect' the fabric. I guess he knows me too well

To me a closet sounds like a small room, rather than a piece of furniture. Thank goodness C. S. Lewis's American Publishers didn't decide to rename his book, "The Lion, the Witch and the Closet" for the US market!

Around here, at least among older people, it might be called a chifforobe.

No, armoire is French for cabinet. I think garde-robe is French for wardrobe. But in Dutch we use this word (garderobe) to describe a collection of clothes as well. This is getting a bit complicated

I'm having a latte macchiatto before I finish putting the wardrobe/closet/garde-robe/... together.

watch out, the guy is dislessic and illiterate, so it could have been anything, i mean the letters. His mind is on making this call center. Fuzzy thinking helps. Also systematic misunderstanding. Soviets called it disinformation. Together with propaganda achieves maximum confusion.

It's working. I'm maximumly (I like that word!) confused! I was going to chalk it up to the cold medicine I'm taking, but I suppose it could be Mortis' doing.

Thanks! I never would have thought of that. As one who rarely obeys anything except (and only perhaps only occasionally,) gravity, that would never have crossed my mind. However, it does seem to make good sense when you get right down to it. At least as much as not running with scissors.

The Black teas only. Honest. I was planning to leave you the pu-erhs all along. I was just too sick to type it all out. It's the truth.
Hey... look at this face.
Is this the face of a someone who'd lie about a thing like this just to save his own skin? Here... let me pour you a nice glass of Bombay Sapphire...
(bowing and scraping, bowing and scraping, shuffling my foot on the floor)

I'm a sick man. Why you pickin' on me when I'm weak and defenseless? Dat ain't fair! Dat ain't fair!

My mom asked me yesterday how my friend Scratchoff was doing. When I gave her a blank look, she said, "you know, the one in Japan." I believe that's you. Bond. Scratchoff Bond.

A perfectly home-roasted cup of "Kenya Kirinyaga Peaberry Gakuyu-ini Factory" coffee with a copy of "River of Doubt" in my hand, sitting on the porch swing watching birds attack the feeders...doesn't get any better.

Well... my nurse says I haveta go ta bed now, but I'm afraid that Prof.Crash may have 'short-sheeted' it... Fear and Clothing (bed) in Kyoto...

"Tomorrow is another day." (Didja ever wonder about that line? I mean really!) Or 'tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps on its petty pace from day to day?' Well... yeah. What else would happen? We can't skip any, can we? I think I like this new cold medicine. Mixed with the Bombay it's really making me feel pretty good!
