I’ll be Secretary of the Navy.

But I have to tell you, there is going to be *a lot* more Gilbert and Sullivan around here.

Don’t even know what this is about, but I think I’ll put this on my headstone.

Hi

Me and my besties after being left behind by AI

I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

I heard O-o-h Child by the Five Stairsteps in Boys in the Hood in the theatre and spent a good six or so years hunting it down (it wasn’t on the soundtrack).
