...hours in the arena is a strenuous workout. The mightily authentic shields, tridents and helmets weigh a daunting 3 kg all together, and I retired limp-wristed after only a fleeting bout in full apparel. Theo, made of sterner stuff, held his own in some simulated savagery that required throwing tridents javelin-style. I was happy to console myself with dinner at the hotel's rooftop, three-Michelin-star La Pergola restaurant, with views of the Colosseum. A two-hour course costs $580 for up to eight people (aged 12 and up) and will run throughout the Christmas school holidays...
...Macintosh computer is the emasculated plaything of the effete, limp-wristed parlor liberals who have too much money and too little sense. Hopefully, when reality hits, it will go the way of POG caps, Beanie Babies, and Pokémon. Sure, it’s cute. It is, after all, just a very expensive paperweight...
...missing now, when Johnny comes in, is the buzz. Everyone still likes him, but being a drug rep and having a couple of big knee operations somehow cost Johnny much of his celebrity status. He's still big and no longer sporting a limp, but not even his big, fat football ring elicits comments from the other patients anymore.

Charisma, star quality...
...than their own or were put off by the prospect of propping their pates on pillows carried over from previous years. Whatever the case, Gringo noted that given the pillows’ typical life span of only three years and Dorm Crew’s habit of trashing those limp and covered in stains, about a third of the total stock (about 2,800 pillows) had to be replaced each year. But not all students counting on a Harvard-issue pillow this fall are without hope. Cerullo reported that Adams House Master Sean Palfrey had asked Dorm Crew to leave...
...emptiness of suburbia is no match for Sarajevo-born American Aleksandar Hemon's moving account of an immigrant door-to-door salesman working the Chicago suburbs. France's Lydie Salvayre spins a ho-hum tale of a man with an untamable cowlick, and Rikki Ducornet responds with a limp portrait of the aging French cancan dancer La Goulue. But then, all of the writers in As You Were Saying (and their translators) contributed their services without pay. It is easy to imagine that some of the stories were dashed off not to be enduring literary masterpieces but merely to provoke...
