  2. Just call me Queen of the Typos! I’ll fix. When you pour out a cup of link, it goes “clink”!

  4. This brings up the question “if a missing link is poured from a cup, and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound?”

    I think it doeesn’t go clink if it’s the missing link because it’s missing.

  5. When my brother was living in Wyoming we went to a brothel that had been converted into a bookstore- it worked wonderfully, the “little rooms” each housed their own genre- but it was strange to think about what must have gone on in those rooms before the conversion…

  6. @ Plum Jo—

    I would be wondering mostly about the self-help section of that store…

    OK, I’m extra weird today, and I haven’t even started celebrating New Year’s.
