One is more talented than the other. How can that be with identical twins? Apparently identical twins aren’t identical in every respect, he thinks. The dry hot dog sticks in Mike’s throat.

For asphalt and Burr cut lawns Butch-waxed to respectable ruliness. If that was possible. Rural Free Delivery, waiting for the knock on the door. From Publishers Clearing House or the Second Coming.

Blue Oven bread is delicious and I’m sure the toppings are fabulous but I can’t help but giggle at the notion of a Toast Bar. All these foods from my childhood regaining prominence.
