It's a rare bird indeed who can do that kind of work. Hard not to regard those caregivers as superior human beings in pretty much every manner.
I would be a complete pile of garbage without her.
We're all in the club, man.

Heston's the one who eats Alpo, if that helps distinguish the two.

Limeys eat Alpo. Except they don't. But I made a throwaway comment saying they did. Then drove it into the ground. And continue to do so. In short, Heston eats Alpo (except that he doesn't; that we know of).

I would guess that Amazon and the other online retailers will stock it (or maybe not; not sure about academic texts). If you are interested, wait till the soft cover comes out next summer—$85 for the hard cover is ugly and mostly to cover library orders.

Your standards are slipping Wolt, I thought you were the master of the ongoing in-joke.
Too much Iron Maiden is damaging your brain.
Oh, I know what he's doing; I've read every post about this joke. I just don't get it. It is apparently funny only to Saskatooniards.
And even I don't find it funny per se. More a case of piling it on as an easy and odd dig at our Limey friends. Some shit, it just don't make sense.
