...several facts about the life cycle of the common TF. In the larval stage, young TFs-to-be squirm through high schools nationwide, leaving oozing trails of teacher recommendations and bibliographic references in their wakes.

Still, it was a fine October night, with a full moon and spectacular views of Kansas City, a town full of crazy little women where everything remains up to date. And what else were you going to do on a Thursday night, watch Seinfeld...
