      I’d agree, but that’s 2 sentences.

      Was shocked to discover very recently that it’s meant to be “It’s over 8000!”, and 9000 was a mistranslation

    “The man in black fled into the desert, and the gunslinger followed”

    • opening line for the Dark Tower novels by Stephen King, which is an absolutely phenomenal series that blends western and sci-fi elements with just a tad of fantasy and horror for flavor.

          Don’t let your dreams stay dreams. I’m not saying it will be easy. Get an alligator and a pineapple costume. Sign up for tap lessons and bring them along. Volunteer as a docent at your local zoo. Success isn’t guaranteed, but I bet you’ll be surprised with how far you get.

            Thank you for your faith,…the alligator is likely to be my biggest challenge. Maybe a baby croc…or a Winnie dog in an alligator outfit……it’s the same thing really. I don’t suppose I even have to learn tap to teach it. So there’s a few hurdles down.

      At this juncture, I would point out that !floridaman@lemmy.world also accepts “Florida Woman” submissions.

      EDIT: Unfortunately, it appears to be fake.

      It annoys me that the quoted sentence misses out essential words.
