Frog and Toad ate many cookies, one after another.
“You know, Toad,” said Frog, with his mouth full, “I think we should stop eating. We will soon be sick.”
“You are right,” said Toad. “Let us eat one last cookie, and then we will stop.”

My secret hobby is naming games with a title so specific that it's the only result on Google for it.
I like to think in 100 years time somebody will have an intense burst of hatred for the Floor, do a rage induced Google search and stumble upon my masterpiece as the only result.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."
