Just a county mile? Hamlet's death is the greatest ever. Surely it outdistances Konstantin by more than that. ;)

Me too. I will not hesitate at all to be ugly to someone who dares come into my house and root against or otherwise denigrate the Blue Devils.

Mr. Windsor was unwilling to banish his eldest child for life. I gave serious consideration to banishing Mr. Windsor. If we had LOST to Arizona who knows what would have happened.

Well, as a good Southern kid, you should know, a country mile is however long the speaker wishes it to be.

I've told the story about the smackdown I delievered to an 11 year-old at a 2004 Final Four party, right?

For the record, the party was not at my house.

I do indeed. Mr Windsor was not, when we married 15 years ago, versed the way of college basketball. He was basketball neutral when we met. He has gradually seen the light. In his defense, his daughter was in town for the first time in quite some time - and we didn't know who she intended to support when she came over (actually it was her dumb pluck boyfriend - who is NOT the guy she is engaged to). If this happened today he would offer to meet her and the boyfriend at a sports bar someplace.

That almost makes it OK. I long ago learned to carefully prescreen anybody invited over to my house on Final Four weekend. The incident at the 2004 party? I told the friend who was hosting the event that if he was inviting anybody that planned to root for UConn that I'd rather not come. He promised everybody was either a Duke fan or basketball neutral and willing to comply with the crowd for the evening. Unfortunately, one of the kids of one of the basketball neutral folks thought otherwise. I did manage to shut him up and I'm not sorry for it either. (There was no physical violence.)

If you were switching to Simon and Garfunkel, I think it's "coo coo ca-choo".

And I always thought it was pigeons that were rats with feathers.

Pigeons are also rats with feathers/wings. Their coastal brethren fit the same loathsome definition.

970 pages today...the last bit of Vol. I and all of Vol. II of Charles Beard's The Rise of American Civilization. There is definitely something wrong with me.
