Correct. His latex wings melted and he plunged into the taint.

Because sessional teaching for $4000 a course is a great way to make a living. I mean a 5 course load could move you close to the poverty line!

Back in the old days (hangs onion from belt) we could smoke in the office. I knew a 3 pack a day smoker - Canada so 25 to a pack. The only way he could manage to do it is that he always had one in his hand. If he didn't, he lit another one.

Memento mori is a caution against excessive pride. We are all equal in the grave and we are all going to die. Memento mori tokens or reminders were carried by powerful people to remind them to temper their decisions and maintain humility. Definitely not the "fuck it" attitude of YOLO.

It seems like a great way to get shot.
