Look for the 1943 short story "And Mimsy were the Borogroves" (Not the stupid movie made from it recently)

Mimsy Borogrove?  I think I took her to a high school dance...

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
      Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
      And the mome raths outgrabe.

Burning question!

Do jalapeno poppers count as a vegetable?

I relish the question. You need to ketchup with the answer

Of course, but I doubt most people could eat enough to count. Montezuma will get his revenge

I'm not sure---but they're not to be de-spiced.

It is my understanding, BTW, that hot peppers are one of the many things---including potatoes, tomatoes, chocolate, avocadoes, and maize---with which the New World blessed the world at large when Columbus and the other explorers came here.

Thought for the Day:

Hillary Clinton stole White House china.

Under Joe Biden, China will steal the White House.

Discussion question; my ex has offered to keep my son until after inauguration day, instead of the usual Sunday handoff. This, in case there is trouble in DC (she is now in exurbia Maryland). I’m not sure what to think about this, whether it’s a sensible precaution or a hysterical overreaction.

I don't think "hysterical overreaction" is out of place these days.  While I suspect that any "unrest" that may hit the District will be confined to the government-building areas, one never knows.

my neighborhood was completely quiet last Wednesday; and during the riots in late May early June, and there was just one incident of the windows of a jewelry store being broken a couple blocks away. But still, like you say, who knows what could happen. Sigh.

You mustard have made a misteak, but I can see you relish it.
