Thanks, now I'm going to waste my whole day looking up more Greek history on wikipedia.
Why must I be so easily distracte... hey look, a bird!
The often used (and often misued) "Sword of Damocles" is my favorite classical reference. Thankfully, I have been able to use it on more than one occassion in my writing.

The term "custodial account" rings more bells so it is likely that. Honestly, I'm hoping I can just scare him with a letter at this point.

Smile - A friend of mine showed me an artist friend of her's work today:

He takes thrift store and garage sale paintings and adds stuff to them:

Ticked - He has one of frigates shooting cannons at each other amidst rubber duckies, but it is not for sale on any of his sites.

This has become a popular thing to do in the art community. I know three artists who are doing this right now.

Another popular trend: printmaking on top of old encyclopedia pages.
