memories opposites glasses

Let me just acknowlege that the function of grammar is to make language as efficent and clear and transparent as possible.

smoking too-much cheetahs
I ran like a cheetah - well, like a cheetah that smoked too much.
birthday loves party wrapped
We had a party, a Father's Day party, going-away party and daughter's birthday party all wrapped up in one, ... He was great; the thing of it is he loves kids.
best hard smaller surely tax
Those big things are hard to do under the best of circumstances. Surely there are smaller things he can do, such as with the tax code.
disease family fiction fit heroic novels politics romantic room teen tend war
We don't tend to write about disease in fiction - not just teen novels but all American novels - because it doesn't fit in with our idea of the heroic romantic epic. There is room only for sacrifice, heroism, war, politics and family struggle.
