This afternoon, I found myself, in an e-mail conversation with a coworker, referencing the ( Hideous Cheese Blunder )
Abby Bartlet: Okay. So just ease up on the high ground.
President Bartlet: On that point I conceded the high ground.
Abby Bartlet: And I concede I was wrong about the thing.
President Bartlet: Good.
Abby Bartlet: However...
President Bartlet: No. No "however." Just be wrong. Just stand there in your wrongness and be wrong and get used to it.
President Bartlet: On that point I conceded the high ground.
Abby Bartlet: And I concede I was wrong about the thing.
President Bartlet: Good.
Abby Bartlet: However...

(I've ground some ahead of time, but I'd like to know anyway. Not usually an issue, because I know it's asur on Shabbat and I have ground pepper for chametz for cooking on Yom Tov.)

mabfan and magid, I found myself conflating two silly songs that have to do with the universe. Therefore, here they are, unconflated, for my future reference.
(I need a tag for "stuff I keep forgetting", to mark this and, for instance, the "The doge did what the doge does" bit for when I get confused again. OK, now I've created one.)

King Roderick: The Duke. What did the Duke do?
Hubert Hawkins: Eh... the Duke do?
King Roderick: Yes. And what about the Doge?
Hubert Hawkins: Oh, the Doge!
King Roderick: Eh. Well what did the Doge do?
Hubert Hawkins: The Doge do?
King Roderick: Yes, the Doge do.
Hubert Hawkins: Well, uh, the Doge did what the Doge does. Eh, uh, when the Doge does his duty to the Duke, that is.
King Roderick: What? What's that?
Hubert Hawkins: Oh, it's very simple, sire. When the Doge did his duty and the Duke didn't, that's when the Duchess did the dirt to the Duke with the Doge.
King Roderick: Who did what to what?
Hubert Hawkins: Oh, they all did, sire. There they were in the dark; the Duke with his dagger, the Doge with his dart, Duchess with her dirk.
King Roderick: Duchess with her dirk?
Hubert Hawkins: Yes! The Duchess dove at the Duke just when the Duke dove at the Doge. Now the Duke ducked, the Doge dodged, and the Duchess didn't. So the Duke got the Duchess, the Duchess got the Doge, and the Doge got the Duke!
King Roderick: Curious. I... I... hm? What? What's that? All I heard was that the Duchess had a siege of rheumatism. She's 83, you know.
