...latest personal technology triumph is the Slinger, which I bought at sitstay.com for $34.95. This overgrown slingshot fires tennis balls 150 ft. up a hill in my backyard--the perfect distance for my young brown hound Otto, who is an utter maniac for retrieving stuff. The Slinger is nearly perfect in every respect. It even has what I think of as a "wife feature": it lets my spouse scoop slimy, post-retrieved balls into a built-in wire rack without having to sully her ivory hands...
...dead and gone forever. According to Harold Bloom, there were lines from the Ur-Hamlet, the play (probably by Thomas Kyd) on which Shakespeare’s Hamlet was most immediately based, which remained a source of mockery for years in the world of Elizabethan theatrics due to their utter ridiculousness.

Or sometimes carnage and exultation at once. "Men rode in blood up to their knees and bridle reins," wrote an 11th century Crusader fresh from a massacre of Muslims on the Temple Mount. He added, "Indeed, it was a just...
...poet (of sorts) once wrote, "Love means never having to say you're sorry "- which, by the way, is patently false. But being the last remaining superpower means never having to say you're really sorry and, if by chance, you do utter the word "sorry," you can always say you didn't mean...
