Just counting down the hours until I introduce a Christmas tree to the street cat we've adopted, and who can apparently levitate.

There was a whole North=polenta, South=pasta thing well into the 20th c. Marinetti proposed abolishing pasta in case it made all Italians lazy and shiftless like Southerners [sic]!
