An animal transport specialist... doesn't mean what you think it means.
It's always better than the crap we make up when we're guessing what happens next, you know?
-
That was a million dollars well spent.
This was a pretty good way to end the arc, though. When in doubt, confuse Teodor.
-
Especially when he's naked. Although, come to mention it, I think I've had my fill of naked Teodor.
-
"Yeah, I'd heard that." It doesn't get any better than that line.
-
Onstad loves to show a naked, pudgy, sagging, worried Teodor.

See, that WAS his dad, not his grandfather.
-
you CAN go home again, only it's a different home that is your new home. YEAH.
just realized I will be going Home Again for about a week after graduation... I am suddenly very glad that after that week I will be returning to St Louis, where I will have a new apartment to arrange, a job to find, etc. I will cook my own favorite dish when I get back here.

Papist: a word sadly absent from conversation these days.

[[shrug]] in 100 years no one will care.

'Cumulo' also conveys cloud imagery, which reinforces the 'fluff' idea.
I don't think there is an official limit on how many parts of a phrase can be used to convey a single idea, is there?
-
Yes there is, it's called "avoid pleonasms". If I had a point, which I'm not even sure I had anymore, is that 'Stadt sometimes strains the ol' verbiage muscle.
