Of course I'll come, especially if you keep explaining functional biology to me. I'm of the opinion that the details make all the difference, and one has to be very hands on to get the benefits.

I don't believe my hands fit in the space when I try to bend my knees while seated, as I am now.

Night on Bald Mountain

I always knew it as "Night on a Bare Mountain".

In exchange, I offer the Dance Macabre.

I'm not sure about the graphics, mind

It is known by both names, HP, but on this side of the pond, at least, we generally refer to treeless mountains, such as the Dolomites, as "Bald Mountains," even picking ones out affectionately as "Old Baldy."

The difference may also come from translating literally from the Russian.

I love the line in Shawshank Redemption where Andy Dufresne accuses the Prison warden of being 'obtuse'.

(gotta love Google)
Andy Dufresne: How can you be so obtuse?
Warden Samuel Norton: What?

The Kwakiutl are a coastal people of British Columbia; the Flat Heads were from Montana and Alberta. They were called that for the shape of their head modified by binding their babies' heads on the cradle board to give them very high brows. It was practiced in the Andes and in Polynesia (for nobles) as well. Linnaeus, in his Systema Naturae, not knowing about osteological plasticity, classified the Flat Heads as a sub-species, Homo montrosous canadiensis, the "Canadian Monster Men." So much for the 18th Century underpinnings of Pseudoscientific racism...Back to the game!

Redemption? Can't beat Pulp Fiction for a tale of redemption accepted and ignored.

I'm all outta beer.

My huntin' dawg ran away.

The wife done left me, and took my pickup and fishin' boat.

And I ain't too sure which one of all those things make me the saddest.
