On You Won't Believe These 3 Amazing Pieces By Erik Satie

@doraleigh

I must be sub-middling because I find them to be deceptively hard! But I do love playing them on the piano and feeling super-fancy.

On What Does The Lamb With Five Legs Mean?

Note this exchange from the Simpsons between Marge and Agnes Skinner:

Marge: Hello, Helen.
Helen: Marge.
Marge: Edna.
Edna: Marge.
Marge: Uh... [Agnes glares] Hmm...
Agnes: [irritated] Oh, my name is Agnes and you know it's Agnes! It means lamb -- lamb of God.
Marge: I'm sorry, Agnes.
Agnes: Marge.

This happened after Marge got kicked out of the Investorettes. After kicking Marge out, the Investorettes had - you guessed it - FIVE members (Maude Flanders, Luanne Van Houten, Agnes Skinner, Helen Lovejoy, Edna Krabappel).

Once you know where to look, it seems so obvious.

On Where Not To Go, But Also Who Not To Go There With

@jfruh - I haven't seen the most recent Up (although I assumed the taxi guy went belly up after buying property in Spain during the bubble). But my parents are the exact same way. They complain about Mexicans (who are undoubtedly, mostly not Mexicans) coming to their town and taking the jobs and not learning English. Meanwhile, their daughter worked for more than a year in a cushy job in Paris without learning more than a dozen words in French. When I pointed out that their daughter was probably committing the grander of the two cross-cultural crimes, they couldn't see the similarities between the situations. Sigh.

On Where Not To Go, But Also Who Not To Go There With

Hotel Vista Oro
Benidorm
Spain
Too many Spanish families, mostly with unruly children. Dinner time was changed from 7.30 - 8.0 which was too late for british diners. Food too spanish. Spanish served before brits at bar.

Oh Britain, thanks for making American tourists look good again.

On New York City to Ban Awls

What if this is really a noble attempt to undercut the Boy Scouts by effectively making the craft of crafting your own custom belt illegal? Then you'll feel silly.
