Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Relevance?

Oh, I just mean that Betsy's beer-drinking, pipe-smoking women are around in 1950, so if the Inklings are not hanging out with female authors as peers, they're doing it on purpose.

Edit: There, see? Like Kathy said.

I don't actually have any position to take in this discussion.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

You know, if my mother had named me "Clive Staples," I might not have had the most enlightened attitudes towards women either.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Clive Owen doesn't seem to have a problem. I mean, we don't know that his middle name is Staples, but it could be, like, Hitler or Hassenpfeffer or Oogedy-Boogedy. Nonetheless, he neither smokes a pipenor rails against modernity.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

His middle name is, obviously, "Robin's Lover".

If I only had a brain...

If you get my share of C.S. Lewis, does this mean I get your share of Noel Coward?

I think Clive Owen should smoke a pipe. Mrowr.

(And for "smoke a pipe," insert...well, just about anything.)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I think he would look very silly smoking a pipe. Really, the age of the pipe has gone by, unless you're smoking dope in the pipe, in which case, you win irony points (double if you'er also wearing a grandfather sweater).

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

His middle name is, obviously, "Robin's Lover".

As opposed to Tolkien who, due to a tragic scooby-dooish speech impediment, was "Robin's Rover"?

Oh man, I should totally start smoking a pipe. They always smell so good.
