not as funny...
It's hard to gauge how widely recognized passages from children's movies would be.
Ana does a strikingly realistic imitation of Malfoy from the Harry Potter movies. It's somewhat troubling that he's her favorite character.
Best wishes,

I could try to blame it on one of the grand kids!
...and it might be true...
or
We might have watched it cause it was supposed to be pretty good.
I remember the line 'cause I liked it so much...
We watch a lot of movies in the dark part of the year.
Malfoy is one of the easier to characterize! You'll be fine 'till about 13...
Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts on my attaining my new millstone.
I'm still giggling (and blushing) over your contributions to the mnemonic challenge; suprisingly hard to make them work isn't it? I won't be the judge of how many did do better than my original but I will say that Carol did so twice.
Alright buddies, chiffy doesn't ever feel gentle. However, I just keep laughing. My next one persuades quietly, reflecting superbly these uniquely unpopular views with xenophobic zen.
A bookish crazy don, ever frenzied, goading himself incessantly, jumbling knowledge, linking materials not often paired, quite reasonably starts to undertake Vergil while xeroxing Yevtushenko zestfully.
Okay, it took more than 30 seconds. Congratulations Wombat! You keep us on our toes. Thoughtful and sane---a good combination.

My Latin teacher, the wonderful Mr. Phillips, of a few years ago said it is sort of controversial. Some prefer to stick with "Virgil" and others think "Vergil" is more appropriate, being, as B. points out, closer in spelling to the Latin name. In our class we could use either but Mr. Phillips himself used Vergil. And I always did what Mr. Phillips did.

You know the trouble with these sentences is the ending. (or should it be are the ending??) If you started there you might get a good one.
That's one of the tricks. Here are a few others. Just work on short phrases to begin with. Decide on a theme when you have a few that fit together or one you simply must use. The rest will fall into place.

The subject of that sentence is "the trouble", which is singular,
so the verb will also be singular: "is". You were right the first time.
"sentences" is the prepositional object of "with", so it does not
affect the verb.

I don't care if Dr. Seuss said "x is very handy if your name is Nicky Knox, it also comes in handy spelling fox and extra socks!" - x is a HARD letter to find a sensible word for!!
