"One of these days, Alice! One of these days!"

*wonders if anybody will get the reference*

Oooh yes!  I get it. :-)  I also remember a Farside(?) panel wherein the astronauts find a woman's body
on the surface of the moon.  One astronaut says to the other, "It's Alice Kramden."

I noted that I felt Elliot was wearing his coat and had not yet put it in his locker should have made it obvious even if one had forgotten his mentioning what time of day it was.

I was quickly given a reminder, however, that my high school experience was not identicial to that of everyone else's throughout the world. While I have many memories of arriving early to school via bus and having a significant amount of free time before classes began, many have informed me that they find the very idea of this free time strange. It's possible my bus got me to school with more time to spare than is normal elsewhere.

Carbonated Caffeine?
Canned Diabetes?
Tooth Eater?
