| The Oboe of Love | Ren: I love it when people add an adjectival prepositional phrase to the end of a noun--especially if it starts with "of"--it's like giving it a superhero name. / Heather: What?
/ Ren: You know, like "the T-shirt of Power" or "the Pasta of Deliciousness." / Heather: How about "the oboe of Love"?
/ Ren: The oboe d'amore! But that's in Italian, so it would be more like one of those pretentious foreign superheroes. And, you know, sing an aria every time it did anything. http://oboe-comics.com/?p=312 |
