I'm not sure what that means!

Cornelius is skilled.  Also, I enjoyed Ray's riddle.

My friends call me the Mayor.
My enemies don't call me anything.  'Cuz they're all dead.

Ray likes that stuff.

Man, I hope W-S sells those Riedel glasses or Corny's going to have some editing to do.

At first I was all meh over this thing, but the letter of the W-S founder and subsequent shenanigans won me over. Still... needs more ro-bots. Things usually benefit greatly from the addition of ro-bots.

The absurdity is veiled by the poetic charm with which the poet invests it.

The cat and the alive stuffed bear are turning the Williams and Sonoma catalog into a erotic, food-themed version of the J. Peterman catalog.  It's like they are reading my nightmare journal.  Well, "nightmare" might be an exaggeration. More like "slightly upsetting dreams after eating too much sopressa while watching 'Weeds' re-runs before bed" journal.

For God's sake, I know I've heard the name "Ronnie DiFaduzzio" somewhere but... I can't think of it.

A sports figure?

It's an obscure reference to SOMETHING.

"I've seen better lettering on necks."  This is going into my lexicon immediately.

I hope I never have to refer to a scone in spoken conversation.
