The New York Times crushes my dreams again

Seriously, when I read things like this, I remember a tale of my late-marrying uncle. Upon being told that marital bliss was, in fact, not 100% bliss 100% of the time, he allegedly shouted something like, "Don't spoil the illusion! It's the only thing keeping me going!"

I feel you, dog. I feel you.

Ah, too bad. I just noticed this now and I'm not going to subscribe to the NYT just for a laugh. But I feel you on the "don't spoil the illusion" part. It sounds like something Ron would say. (of Harry, Hermione and, yes)

John,
Unlike your fan above, I DO have an account with the NYT. Interesting article. I haven't heard a lot about it in the industry, but maybe I'm not quite up on the latest. On a personal note: I'm all for snoring. I just haven't found anyone who saws logs in syncopation. THAT'S why I'm still single. Glad someone over at the NYT picked up on it!

Stacer, you need this link super-bad.

Martha, if it's syncopated snoring you're really after, you need to find a jazz man, or possibly a ragtime pianist. First time I read your comment, I thought you were talking about synchronized snoring, but the more I think about it, the more that sounds like a bad idea, because of the possibility of the sound
waves reinforcing
each other. Syncopation would be much better.
