He gives you the answer before you ask the question. Besides, Mr. Neeson prefers the phone for his correspondence.

I. I am a lama. II.
As he sits down to begin his memoirs, The Dalai Lama is struck, uncharacteristically, by writer’s block. He begins running through the Noble Eightfold Path to see if it offers an easy solution, but quickly becomes frustrated. Eventually, he decides to make a list of what, exactly, he wants to communicate in the book. After a promising start this, too, proves to be a dead end.

Tin ma--- Damnit!
After an intense few months (Ted’s disappearance, Brian Eno’s entrance into their lives, Ron’s frustrating job search), Ron and Nora decide they need a vacation. On the first day, they pay a tour guide to take them on a Wizard of Oz Watch. The guide explains the techniques for spotting characters from The Wizard of Oz in the wild. Munchkins prove easy to spot, as do Dorothy...

Theses, eh, T?
Conversations with Mr. T, overheard: discussing the taxing nature of academia.
Worth noting: The vast majority of Mr. T’s conversations overheard by Yenolab researchers are with a Canadian gentleman who is eager to have his opinion validated.

Rep. Parsnip pins rapper
Our sickly root vegetable congressperson identifies a donor match in MC Kuddlez, the rapping bunny/bear monstrosity of our collective nightmare, and uses his political influence to strong-arm a transfusion.

An educated guess.
As a man of letters, I have, in the course of my studies, had occasion to discern that the lemon tree is very pretty. Equally, I very well comprehend that the lemon flower is sweet. I have espied the fruit of the lemon— it too is, indeed, fetching. Ergo, because I am a learned man (and one who is of sound mind, to boot), I can easily deduce that said fruit must also be like that of honey...

Rot a gill, alligator!

Do alligators even have gills? The researchers here at Yenolab say yes, the gators at Union Square most definitely do. And FYI, Tom Otterness killed his dog for art’s sake: http://www.galleristny.com/2011/10/the-dog-killing-woes-of-tom-otterness/

Mido`s da gem! Egad, so dim!
After the citation fiasco, Ron confesses to Al that he’s thinking of letting Ito go. Al, who has taken quite a shine to Midori (he’s begun calling her ‘Mido’), tries to explain that she is the jewel of the company and that Ron would be a fool to even consider replacing her.

Otitis media? Idem`s it, Ito.
Ron secures Olympic silver medalist and figure skating legend Midori Ito to serve as spokeswoman and legal counsel for his signature sandwich. As a spokeswoman she is exquisite; however, Ron finds her legal writing technique to be sub-par. When denoting previously cited sources she uses “Ibid” when she ought to use “Idem.” Ito apologizes and blames her mistake on an inner...

---We made sub! ---O, tu, Al. ---L`autobus Edam!!...
Ron pitches Al his new business plan. He explains that, for a nominal fee, he will help people make delicious sandwiches. Al immediately gloms on to the idea and the two begin discussing what, exactly, Al is looking for in a sandwich. Ron asks probing questions and it is soon clear that Al sees sandwiches as a means of eating as much cheese (specifically edam, his favorite) as he possibly can....

Hero tutor, eh?
On Saturday, Ron and Nora eat lunch at Al’s house. Al makes sandwiches that look delicious, but fall to pieces as soon as anyone tries to take a bite. Frustrated, Al exclaims that he’d pay good money for someone to teach him how to make a proper sandwich. Ron, still desperately in search of a new career, gets an idea…
