Fantastic Fantom!

Mordan -- of course you floss after. The better question is do you brush your teeth before or after you eat breakfast?

I think that both you and I know that this is most certainly the case. But it is not likely that anyone else realizes the signifigance of this.

Wow. I never heard Mary explained in that way before...

Oh please! I thought the whole state of Utah knew this.

Well, I refuse to brush my teeth before the first cup of coffee. That would be so un-nice.

What if you have your first cup of coffee when you're already at work?

That would never happen. I refuse to work untill after I drink 2 cups of coffee.

I didn't mean you're working, I just mean you're at the office.

I have never worked in an office, Mr Net Surfer.

Oh I didn't know that.

EDIT: а что это ты меня мистером обзываешь?

Извините, я забыл, что ты собираещься ложитесь спать под газетой в парке сегодня вечером. Я предполагаю, что ты предпочитаещь красное вино для этого?

Как ты узнал? :o
После сухого красного вина я сплю как младенец!

I remember that while a kid in Edinburgh, we used to go out on Halloween, 31st octuber and sing to the neighbours. We were told the name came from Holy evening. This was because the following day was All Saints day. There is a good explanation at http://wilstar.com/holidays/hallown.htm
By the way, all the money collected as such was spent on fireworks for Guy Fawke’s night or Bonfire night the following 5th November. http://www.bonefire.org/guy/.

Guy Fawke’s. oh, yes I do miss that! There would be huge bon fires all over the place with stuffed dummies of poor old Mr Fawkes on top. We liked to fill his head with a gallon jug of petrol.
