I'm technically French Royalty. France being a Republic and the probability that I'm too far down that line for anyone to care makes my chances of ascension slim to put it lightly.

I don't know. Helicopter explosion right after I saved a skyscraper full of puppies and kittens would probably be dramatic enough to cancel out the need for it being slow.

The problem with being French royalty is that there are competing lines including the Bonapartes.

I'm just going through Wikipedia reading about Nursery rhymes as one does and I found something out that I'm unsure about now. I guess I'm asking the question, did your version of London Bridge Is Falling Down as a kid have more then one verse? Because the version I knew as a kid had every it being built back with different materials every time.

Was practicing keyboard tonight with my headphones on when my cat Sterling decides to leap onto my piano right in the middle of the song. And by "leap," I probably mean "cannonball" because he weighs 15 lbs and is not that graceful. You know what it's like to be practicing "Carol of the Bells" and have a surprise interruption from Big Ben?

Anyway, if you need me, I'll be tending to my poor, bleeding ears.

I don't remember what I did this morning but I remember it going through iron bars, bricks and stone, and wood and clay as examples of what the replacement should be and why they'd all fail.

Maybe Americans had a shorter version of the nursery rhyme idk. That's possible since you guys don't have plenty of nursery rhymes like Cock Robin, yes that's a nursery rhyme I learned as a kid.

I was homeschooled and not the most sociable child, so I couldn't tell you many nursery rhymes. But the ones I do know are way shorter than Cock Robin.

Best time to go to the store on the day before Thanksgiving? Maybe early morning. Gotta grab a pumpkin pie, some whipped cream and lasagna stuff as the Sith Lord wants lasagna tomorrow.
