Peter Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Overture is a symphonic poem that accurately follows one of Shakespeare’s most well-known plays. The piece was written in six weeks and premiered in 1870.

Being Smart enough to take a hint from the lesson plan‚ Raymond Carver disguises some very subliminal sexual innuendos in a few different places throughout the story of Cathedrals.

Now‚ Don’t get me wrong‚ the bassoon and baboon have a lot in common-well actually‚ other then the red tone the baboon’s bottom shares with the bassoon‚ they have nothing in common‚ so scratch that.

I remember once reading about a man‚ who got smitten thrice by lightning in life‚ and once in his own graveyard. At that time I thought that fate was a whimsical son of a b***. I know‚ I know… Watch your language and all that‚ but what can I say‚ I’ve never been one to be careful around others‚ I mean‚ people should be able to swallow things like this‚ as long as they’re not said to be hurtful.
