    Because us Southern folk ah fixing to kick some Yankee butt again! Y'all come. C'ya!

    Why do people think anyone not from their region talks funny?
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Huh?

    I may have asked this somewhere before, but I've never received a satisfactory answer: why didn't Cinderella's glass slipper turn back at midnight like all the rest of the stuff her fairy godmother enchanted?

    As my sainted mother used to say: It was in the script.

    She danced in glass slippers? Doesn't that sound like a way to lose toes, not gain a Prince!

    that sounds like a point from that youtube series "everything wrong with..." sometimes they are insightful, sometimes I disagree with their points, but that's a good one.

    you wonder if that is an actual fault in the plot, or if the author of the story would have a satisfactory answer to that quandary--like, the shoe, independent from Cinderella's presence serves as a talisman.

    my answer however, in keeping with the thread, would have to be-----well, its a little known fact that the movie was originally marketed to manufacturers of glass shoes in general, so the screen writers needed to keep their audience happy by the magical constancy of the glass slipper in particular. otherwise, there would have been a glass shoemaker uprising on their hands...or feet, as it were.


    does anybody really know what time it is?

    Had a nice vegetarian meal with plenty of fresh fruit.

    How long did Adam and Eve live in Eden before being evicted for violating their lease?

    Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons?

    I read books and write posts, alternately and in quick succession. The combination of give and take is intellectually stimulating. Same question.
