One of my college English professors had a phrase about a popular satirist whose work was used as toilet paper. He would say, "Shadwell happens". Look up Thomas Shadwell for more info.

It's weird the kind of stuff you find still crammed in your cranium after many years of matriculation.

"Shadwell is now primarily remembered as a loser in his war of satires with John Dryden."

Ha. Reminds me of John Moore and Pope....

I'm finding diddly/squat about toilet paper, and in fact little except a portrait of Shadwell with hair that would have made the bandmembers of Poison weep.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what happens when nine-year-olds are given access to the Internet.
