The Snake that Swallowed the Porcupine Tweet Now that I see it as a headline, I think that would make for a really good children’s book title. Any ideas what it would be about?
Nunnery or Cannery? Tweet I’m not sure people are getting this one. See, the cat thinks a cannery would be a fun place to go and … oh, never mind.
Wise Guy, Huh? Tweet I have always loved a good quote, and many of them I have actually found by reading the context, though I admit that both of these were found in Bartlett’s.
Pigeon English Tweet Beyond the joke, that’s one of my all-time favorite CS Lewis quotes. And to think I almost used one from GK Chesterton.
Sequels, Part 2 Tweet The only sequel I can think of that I like better than the original is the New Testament.
Better (?) Sequels Tweet I can’t think of a movie sequel that I like better than the original. “Empire Strikes Back” come close, but no cigar.
Please Pronounce the Words in the First Panel Tweet For those that are in the know, the Kalavala was one of the old stories that heavily influenced Tolkien.
Define Peripatetic Tweet I can’t remember where this one came from. I’m guessing I read the word in a book, but I cannot now remember what book.
Versed in the Classics Tweet There are shows on TV now that are good, but not a one of them is as good as The Rockford Files. Every episode is like a well-crafted movie and James Garner was just the king! BTW, you talk to homeschool kids and you’ll find that they know history (and most subjects) better than their public school counterparts and they know how to talk to adults.
