Are Japanese limericks Loku?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.

japanese limericks about lollipops
claim they're better than gumdrops,
but the writers of haikus who knew
never would tell us if that's true,
or, if it's just more sexy to liku
than to get stuck in the gummy-goo

For that one first have to find that brain!
neurological condition -> multiple sclerosis -> MS
I'm in -> MIS
with a chorister -> SING
that's absent -> MISSING
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I'm guessing that just like your Brian, your brain is completely missing - presumed dead from alcohol poisoning?

We are currently flipping wildly between hopeful, apprehensive, excited, scared and blind drunk*. She was two hours late getting out this morning as someone was taken in ill before the plane even got off the ground.
This afternoon she is visiting the prospective school for the girls and a house that is available for us; only 5 bedrooms with massive garden and swimming pool. She is actually staying with her boss to be, who is also a good friend, and I am expecting a large damage to the the wine cellar of said host**. Then she has meetings with various people over the next three days to get an idea of both the work involved [similar but different to what she does now] and the what it is like to live there [+++ OUT OF CHEESE ERROR +++ REDO FROM START +++].
The girls like the fact that there are stables close by where they can ride.
* That one is just me.
** It is not unheard of that a dinner's consumption with her can hit [people + 1] * [courses + 1] bottles.
