three months pass...

Newman's somebody I never really connected to; I've tried, starting with Sail Away as a teenager. I thought of him tonight, though, when the headline "Short people at higher risk of heart problems: study" caught my eye on the Yahoo news summary. Guess what seven words flashed across my mind?

― clemenza, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 00:18 (fifteen years ago)

"short people at higher risk, how ironic!"?

― harbly formed dn pun (zvookster), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 00:28 (fifteen years ago)

More or less!
