I suppose raking is indeed repetitive.

No, Sting did.

I simply transcribed the lyrics to The Police's "Every Breath You Take" phonetically.

Tee hee.

All the better to get into a contemplative state of mind.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Thankfully, many politicians don't waste theirs. They have never used theirs, after all.



Kudos for your creativity!

Thanks for the kudos, Ibby.

Making fun of singers with annoying voices is a blast.

Making fun of annoying people is an even bigger blast!

And a waist is a terrible thing to mind.

Waste is a terrible thing to mine.

Waste is fun to make jokes about.

I was just reading an article suggesting products are made to last longer, reducing waste.

Sometimes it is better to spend a bit more, for a higher-quality, longer-lasting product.

Hey big spender! Spend a little time with me!

Maybe you should fly out over here

"Spend, Spend, Spend" was the title of the memoirs of Vivian Nicholson, a poor Englishwoman who won the lottery and...well, the title makes it clear what happened from there.

Ah "Sweet Charity". First saw the film when I was quite young and most of it went over my head. Great songs and Shirley MacLaine does a great job. Some bits might be a bit dated in terms of acceptable attitudes these days but the basic story still holds up.

I have a Taiwanese friend who chose Charity as her Western name.

I can understand why many native Mandarin speakers do that. Many sounds in Mandarin do not quite exist in English.

"Caridad" is Spanish for "Charity."

When I was a kid, I was thankfully a little too young for Menudo, but their hit single "Caridad," a cover of an Italian song from Umberto Tozzi (best known for the original version of "Gloria") was such a massive hit it was unavoidable.

Once I grew up and heard it again, many years later, I could better appreciate it as a catchy 80s tune.

I considered posting a video, but out of respect for people who cannot stand even the idea of Menudo, I shall refrain.

After learning some Spanish, I began to appreciate the given names of many people I knew from the Philippines. Like Corazan (heart), Fe (faith), Esperanza (Hope).

I didn't know Esperanza meant Hope. I like that.

"Esperanto" means "One who hopes" in Esperanto.

Emordnilap is a pair of words that spells a different word when spelt backwards. For example desserts and stressed.

Emordnilap is palindrome spelt backwards.

There Otto be a law about palindromes.

But not puns.

Puns should be regulated by the amount of laughter they generate!

Without pun regulations there would be pundemonium!
