^ My apologies **dad99** ; I got your excellent joke after about 15 seconds. The next day I had to explain it to CheshireKat, who’s a mere slip of a girl and doesn’t know things like…the Beatles…the '70s…Buffy…2 Broke Girls; the list goes on and on. ---

“The Lobotomist of Seville” is a complete reworking I’ve done in my head of the classic Bugs Bunny cartoon, where Bugs progressively cuts out pieces of Elmer Fudd’s brain until at the end Elmer is a mindless vegetable. ---

Greetings SDMB! BtWM reporting in from the island of Tobago in the West Indies. My vacation-related silliness: The set-up–remember on “I Dream of Jeanie” when she would cast a super-duper spell she would clap her right hand to her left bicep and her left hand to her right bicep? I was sitting in the sun the other day for about 20 minutes. I had a tank top on and my hands were where Jeanie puts hers. That night, my arms are stinging from the shoulder down to the elbow from some mild sunburn. Except for the white, non-sunburned handprints on my biceps. Mucho fashionable. ---
