‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves A stately pleasure-dome decreed. And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

I had a teakettle like that one once. I wish I knew where I could get another.
I’m not very familiar with tea terminology. Is the thing you had once the thing on the left or the thing on the right? My mother owns something identical to the thing on the left, and I think she got it from Walmart. I could ask once she wakes up.

So, what happens if you make me laugh by saying this?

when watching buffy i like to imagine the monks creating dawn and like researching what boy bands and tv shows were hot, buying endless tiger beats and posting them all over the monastery for information, fighting over whether dawn should be a fan of the backstreet boys or nsync, and like coming up with cute stories from her childhood to paste in for authenticity and someone will come up with a really good one and theyll all go “aww!!” and continue to glue pictures of justin timberlake on a vision board for information or read through the sunnydale middle school yearbooks to pick out dawn’s best friends (“i like this girl!! she looks nice.” “jesus gustavo do u want the key to be a huge megageek? she should be friends with chelsea b., she’s the HEAD CHEERLEADER”)
i assume that the Official Buffy Writers did not intend for this to be my main takeaway from the key storyline, but tbh it is

I was at a Presbyterian church today (PCA, not PCUSA), and NONE of the hymns were in common meter. Not one. Until the end. The last song was this one, so I had to restrain myself from shouting “CLOSE ENOUGH! Praise the tyrannosaur!”
