Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.

The sort of place where you get sickamores and hoarse chestnuts. You can stay there all weak. Some would.No, I think it means he lives near a creak and some woulds.
Or you can wade through the dense reads and admire the corny plots, then roam among the rich prayery pastors beyond.

Halloween gives occasion to mention two amazing Homophones. Some farmers plant corn (Indian corn) in a maze to be explored by Halloween merry makers. In most of the world, maize is the name given to Indian corn. Thus the farmer has created a maize maze.

MTC: I like humor, and your last post is more than just funny, it is hilarious. You have managed a malapropism and a ruptured idiom in the same sentence. I was thinking of expanding on Slava's last post but it will take some doing to top either of you.
