"There are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see", they say. Frankly that is too many cathedrals. Abolish some.

In retrospect, it was odd that someone ordered pizza aboard an ostensibly chocolatey train.

Someone aboard this train has opted for the deluxe catering option.

Technically, luggage of such dimensions should be stored in the overhead racks.

What will you buy from Temu? Shoes, perhaps? Maybe several insectoid larvae fashioned into earrings?

On closer inspection, they could instead be isopods.

Writing "an important film" on the poster like a typesetter for snake oil bottles.

The latch on the washing machine door has broken.

Just think! Had I not retained my old debit card to use as a shim, my laundry would be imprisoned indefinitely. Banks Hate This One Trick.

Someone could, in principle, drink both a Cheerwine and a Vernors (or even a Faygo) over the course of the same day.

From limited personal experience, "thee", sometimes abbreviated to "the" or even a vowelless "th", has proven quite resilient in northern counties.

Red October.

Or russet, for those more exacting on matters of pigmented foliage.

In a world wherein railway shareholders exist, I can assure you the waste is comparatively minimal.

After they collect their ransom, the hackers will be the first people to profit from Starmer's policies without having to pay him beforehand.

Rail tickets collected! Saturday marks my journey to the Four Voids.

Issued in several coupons per void, to account for seat reservations.

The Long John Silver's subreddit is clearly no place for landlubberly folk.

"Anyone else experience severe bloodlust after eating at Long John Silver's?"

"Met Mitt Romney in a dream."

Purple? How can tropical soda be purple? It is a universal principle that tropical drinks must be orange, or possibly red if melons are involved.

I make it a matter of principle to use the German pronunciation of the "W" in "Schweppes".

Sega failed to heed the warning: never use the subtitle "Episode 1" in a work that is not the first of its franchise.

"Just because the law recognises your gender, it doesn't mean I have to", says the person who insists we all recognise a state of israel for the same reason.

Halloween is still weeks away, yet candied apples are already being discounted.

Those white nodules on the surface were marshmallows, I later learned.
