  • When I was but a teenager, I once very briefly courted a pagan person who asked me “what do you think ‘heathen’ means?” I didn’t know the correct answer - neither the dictionary definition nor the one she wanted - so I said something like “someone who disagrees with the religion of the person speaking the word.”

    She responded, in what I now realize was a condescending manner, that it actually meant “people of the hills.” I didn’t research it at the time but, looking it up now, I can’t find anything to support that claim.

    I never watched more than a few episodes of Frasier, but I remember a commercial for an episode of it - one I unsuccessfully tried to find online just now. I shall paraphrase:

    Niles(?): “What perfume is that?”

    Unknown woman: “It’s ‘Obsession.’”

    Niles: “No, it’s not, I was just curious, really.”

    I hope you have enjoyed this flawed reenactment.

    I usually remember to fold over the edge, but I don’t tape many things, so usually by the next time I try to use it it’s been ruined in some way.

    I’ve had good luck with tape dispensers. I know one might think of them as mostly for scotch tape (I know I used to) but, scaled up effectively, they’re great.

    I haven’t tried them for duct tape, but i imagine its gluiness would interfere with functionality.
