"Oh, come on, this is #achievable! Today is #sardine day, at least on this side of the pound."
"We've gotta give it to you, Yanks, to have a national day for everything."

When you're up to you ass in alligators, it's hard to remember that the #goal was to drain the swamp.

Old Florida saying?

"Say, do you know who is the greatest soccer player of all times?"
"Maradona?"
"Nope. It was Julius Caesar; he even wrote a book about it: 'The Conquest of the #goals'"!
"'The Conquest of the Gauls', dummy1"
"Gauls, #goals, tomatoes, tomatoes..."

I had a little too much to drink, so as no alternative #transport was available, I decided to let Robot drive.
Bad idea, the beast seemed as drunk as I was and could not take a few steps without falling flat on its face.

It was a most improbable heist at the most famous museum, the #louvre in Paris.
In this fertile ground for the #myth, the seed happened to be a young man, Mr. Delvaux, stepping in the picture.
From a #distance, he became the enigmatic detective.

The incongruity developed the #myth.

I am sorry to inform you that the #BookerPrize for fiction was not attributed to me for any of my #literature.
It was conferred - and rightly so - to the writer #DavidSzalay for his novel 'Flesh'.
Congratulations David!

(I have earned the right to be a little jealous, haven't I?)

#Literature is that book you can put on your head without looking too ridiculous... at least if you are Victor Hugo 😜

"Look! I wrote poetry!"
"That's not poetry, that's prose. Poetry needs to rhyme and have a metered rhythm."
"Sounds complicated. An idea: if I use enluminures, could it at least become #literature?"
"🙄"

"Why the long face? And the red suit?"
"We just lost Al, I am back from the funeral."
"Al? Al Who?"
"Al Leg, the shyster, the court jester."
"Like in: 'I knew him Horatio...*" What did he die of? A reluctant divorcee?"
"No, crushed under a ton of #law books!"

"I have a problem with #language: I don't understand anything!"
"Did you try some of the translating AIs?"
"Yeah, not prefect yet."
"Ah! Try the Babell Fish: Ford Prefect slipped one in Arthur Dent's hear. It translate all alien #language."

"You don't understand; am I speaking in an unknown #language?"
"No, it just gets complicated. Did you notice that the word 'complicated' comes up more and more often?"
"Yes. I miss the days when a good smack over the head was all the #language one needed to know."

James Watson died Thursday. He and Francis Crick opened up the secrets of life.
They made #history in our generation.

RIP Mr. Watson.

"I did not say you were hysteric, I said we were #history!"
"WHAT???"
"YES! #history, like George Jones sang!"
"I'm not country."
"...'I stopped loving you today'... rings a bell?"
"AC/DC?"
"Never mind, Hon, just continue seeing other people."😩

She could have just said that we should start seeing other people, kissed me goodbye, explained that it was not me but her, told me that we were #history...
I would have understood.
Now, it's going to be more difficult to pardon 😢

"What will you go as for the #halloween party?"
"I wanted to go as Superman, but you cannot find a phone booth any more!"
"Yeah, I see the problem. You could go as a bag of rice?!"

"What are you going dressed as?"
"Dressed? What for?"
"It's #Halloween, pumpkin head!"
"Oh, that! I was going as Don Quixote, but the party is in a windmill, so..."
"Have to rethink, havent you?"
"Yope. You think going as a cellist is a valid approach?"
"Yes, but not much of a costume."

"We are #Martians, we come in peace, take us to your feeders."
"To ... what?"
"We are not thrilled by your leaders, so..."
"You're sure you're #martians?"
"We have badges and credentials; we are here to serve you."
"Looks like a recipe book."

"You know why the 'Tea Party' ended up in a splash?"
"No #saucer?"

"What's the big deal - it's 2:00am?"
"A flying #saucer just landed."
"So?"
"It's Alien!"
"What did you think? It would be Swiss?"
"It's not that! They sent us back our plaque!"
"The 'Pionneer' plaque?"
"Yes, with annotations."
"Somebody pissed-off somebody!"
"You think?"

"Why did you call your book #atom?"
"Well, it's a big one, isn't it?"
"Sure, but it has nothing to do with physics."
"I know, but 'Volume One' was already taken, so A-tome had to be it, hence #atom."

"What are you doing, lying down on your back in the middle of the path?"
"Just waiting for the #hover broad."
" #hover BOARD, idiot!"
"Oh! Like #hover craft, then?😕"

"OK, I give up, what is that?"
"Police Academy: we are teaching the new cops to #hover over the 'No King Day' crowd."
"Why?"
"It avoids the conflicts about urban cameras."

"So #androids are smarter than crashtest dummies..."
"Why?"
"The crashtest dummies cannot drive."
"Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, but they can sing!"
"Only the Canadian version."

"Darn! It sure is #arid here! So dry, it is #unearthly!'
"Yep, as usual, Mick, only half right: we are in the Sahara, Mauritania, Earth."

An #unhearthly aroma seeps from the simmering pot of spaghetti sauce.
" #unearthly aroma? You cannot hear the neighbor yell in space, but you can smell?"
"It's Maria's sauce, it's heavenly!"
"But not #unhearthly, surely?"
"Heaven on earth."
