Dan Liebke’s Astonishing Tales

It’s a beautiful morning to be wandering through a previously unmentioned underground labyrinth of tunnels hidden beneath Smallville and so, naturally enough, that’s what Sinead and Porthos are doing.
As you’d expect, they combine their walk with their usual mutual underplayed sniping and lies. For example, Porthos takes a shot at Sinead becoming, y’know, an out [...]

I bet if you’re Head of Research and Development at Goodyear™, you get fed up with people telling you all the time that there’s no need to ‘reinvent the wheel’. Because, hey, you’ve got kids to feed, dammit!

In the 1989 smash hit single When I See You Smile, those infamous proponents of poor grammar and haphazard spelling Bad English claim that ‘when I see you smile, I can face the world.’ Impressive to be sure, but it’s only the tip of the iceberg.

Today, I would like to discuss Johnny B. Goode. In particular, I’d like to discuss the fact that, according to the lyrics, he ‘could play a guitar just like a-ringing a bell’.
