(i.a) Given my extensive consumption and ingestion of \u00df-carotene<\/a> in form of baby-cut carrots (the finger food alternative to junk), I am probably in acute and imminent danger of carotenoderma.<\/p>\n

(i.b) At least I don’t eat infants<\/a>!<\/p>\n

(ii.a) Addendum to V (i): W 82nd St, 1 am, on my way back from Music After<\/em>, Rattus norvegicus enters the stage, scurrying up the stairs from a basement to my right, jaywalking the pedestrian path in front of me, then slipping under some perennials covering a tree pit<\/a>, bowing out of sight.<\/p>\n

Courtesy is contagious<\/a>, and it begins with you.“ – Just not as a medical condition, I’d hope, lest I be patient zero instead of merely polite.<\/p>\n

(v.a) I have such a craving for chocolate<\/a>. Let it not be Hershey’s!<\/p>\n

(v.b) Never a more delicious, or superior taste as evidenced by this address line: Made by Cadbury UK Limited<\/a>, PO Box 7008, Bournville, Birmingham, B30 2PT, UK. Found at Fairway’s!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
