#53> I wouldn't have mentioned this, but someone on StackExchange actually asked this question. I wonder if the author realizes how condescending this is.
I'm listening. Please explain.
imo interpretation of actually as "I can't believe someone did this (that someone could be so stupid)" rather than actually as "this is an event that definitely occured". Didn't seem too bad to me.

#54Earlier quoted context omitted.
Clint Eastwood = Old West Action is still my favorite serendiptious anagram. I also like the mathematically correct ELEVEN PLUS TWO = TWELVE PLUS ONE especially because it's also an numeric anagram 11 + 2 = 12 + 1
Mother in law = Woman Hitler is another classic
okay that one caught me off guard

Just like in the original, I think it’s only going to work in theory.

Quit with :quit or Ctrl-D on an empty line. Ctrl-X ? for cheatsheet.
TXR's sound system features 120 dB separation between quarreling audiophiles.
