Isn't sin supposed to be tempting?
Aren't we encouraged to avoid
"occasions of sin"
because beauty / fun are gateways to Hell?
Where did "ugly as sin" come from?
Should we create a List folder for "superlatives" (or inferior-latives).
Here is another casting opportunity for MOST...:
creepy
likely to trip while chewing gum
likely to dig gold
likely to be featured on "Cops"
enhanced
likely to retire with 40 cats
likely to choke on granola
likely to collapse a Victorian porch swing
strike by lightning twice
drown in a puddle
Since the UC list often reads like high school journalism at its worst, I
thought we could yearbook more than just:
Most likely to succeed
Most popular
I hope my imaginary web-cam is recording my "FAKE facial expressions", in
a form that can be seen by my psychic neighbors.
Best!
