Y'all, can we please phase out LET THAT SINK IN from our vocabulary? It isn't face cream or an overnight marinade. It IS clearly a fact that is important and I don't need to let it do anything other than make me mad and spur me to action.
Thank you for coming to my NancyRant™️.

About that time, it occurred to Brother Josiah that perhaps the wildlife in this new land was a bit different than what they'd left behind in Mother England...
Thus, the very moment vegetarianism arrived in the colonies.

The need to rewrite his story was strong...but was it worth this?
Was anything?

The plane reached the target...it was there on the entertainment screen attached to the seat in front of his.

It was at the point that the waiter offered them appetizers that Nick and Jayne realized that achieving silverback status in the company might not be the achievement they thought it to be.
"Hurry," the waiter cajoled. "Mr. Kong is getting ready to address the crowd...over dinner."

Rob strolled down the street, pausing as he noticed a monkey climbing up a parking meter. "What are you doing? You don't even have a car!"
"You're not wondering where I got a quarter...or how I can talk?"
