Nelly! He's from the Lou and he's proud!
Yeah, I knew he was from St. Louis but I didn't know it was called The Lou!!
I know now!
I still think "Princess of The Lou" when heard out loud makes me think "Princess of the Loo" and the bathroom...
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG. In the office next to mine, an intern has been sharpening pencils ALL DAY LONG. I feel bad for her, sure, but I feel bad for me!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Remember 'go outside and play?'
Emmett doesn't go out to play, but he is released on his own recognizance after school and roams the wild streets of Albany unsupervised.
In San Francisco he's on a shorter leash. But has been going to the corner store on his own since he was 9-10.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Perkins, I would use the rule of the last antecedent to say that the date indicates the business of the company, not the grant. It also seems more likely that the sentence is expressing substantively what the company's business is defined as, rather than the pedestrian notion that the grant is as of the date of the agreement.
