unearths some literary gems.
From Alan Mendelsohn, the Boy from Mars, by Daniel Pinkwater:
***
The signs all had slogans like Talk is Cheap--Action is Expensive; and Think Before You Think; and Today is the Yesterday You Won't Be Able to Remember Tomorrow.
***
They had titles like Harold Platt, New-age Seer of Rochester; and Blong! You Are a Pickle....
***
"The Order of the Laughing Alligator--a very old mystical brotherhood, said to have originated in Tibet or India or California, or one of those places."
***
"You have powers now that you didn't have before--even if they're boring powers."
***
"I met a Saturnian once, but we never got to be friends. He kept trying to eat my wristwatch."
***
"Don't we have any cities? Hee hee. Hoo hah. Ho ho." He didn't sound as though he was laughing--he just said the words ho ho, and so forth.
