[Lord Moravec]

Everyone have a safe and enjoyable fest season.

[DonaCatalina]

Season for fair never really ends; it just moves to a new spot.

[Merlin the Elder]

Spot was the incredibly simplistic name of the dog in the Dick and Jane readers in the first grade.

[Jack Daw at Work]

Grade your students' papers without the application of a bell curve.

[Bob of the Lake]

Curve balls, whether in baseball or in life, are best handled with care.

[DonaCatalina]

Care packages of chocolate chip cookies are welcomed by pretty much everyone.

[Merlin the Elder]

Everyone enjoys chocolate chip cookies, except for wizards. For wizards, chocolate chip cookies are considered one of the four major food groups.

[Bob of the Lake]

Groups of wizards going for chocolate chip cookies should be avoided for your own safety! 

[Merlin the Elder]

Safety can only be assured if you refrain from grabbing the soft-and-chewy, extra chips, still warm chocolate chip cookies from the plate in this wizard's view.

[DonaCatalina]

View his cookies but do not touch. Somehow that whole sentence sounds naughty.

[Merlin the Elder]

Naughty? Nay, good Doña. I only warn of the possible loss of fingers—or worse—if one were to position themselves between this wizard and a platter of scrumpdillyishus warm, soft-and-chewy chocolate chip cookies. But, I can see from whence you might have misconstrued!

[Jack Daw at Work]

Misconstrued thefts of chocolate chip cookies, when they were only borrowed, could still lead to trouble.

[Merlin the Elder]

Trouble may worsen when you attempt to return a chocolate chip cookie that was only borrowed. We're talking some very serious "Ewww!"

[Jack Daw at Work]

"Eewww", you may say, but it's only right to return what was borrowed, unless it's a free gift.

[DonaCatalina]

Gift cookies should be examined very carefully if Merlin gave them to you.
