Transcript:
Alice: I cube, ice cube in the pot. Gee, I hope it snows a lot! Pull the handle, down it goes. May it bring us piles of snows! Harken to me, bathroom plumbing! Let there be a snowstorm coming! Winter weather, hear my shout - I wear my pjs inside out! Voice: Alice, stop casting spells and go to bed!

I like those spells, full of magic of the right sort. “ice cube, ice cube in the pot…”

Oh if I had a nickel for all the times I was told to stop casting spells and go to bed…. (the one on learning math never did work…)

This is as good a spell as “Double Bubble Toil and Trouble”. I wonder if it will be chanted in school lavatories all over the nation? (except here in FL - we hate the cold)

Napa, no snow, just liquid sunshine. Catch it in a bottle a few years from now.

I thought it never rains in Southern California. Seems I’ve often heard that kind of talk before.
Here in S.F., it’s falling by the bucket…
(Half an hour later)
Ooh! It stopped!

But fritzoid, don’t they warn ya? It pours, man, it pours… It is currently pouring a little further north from you (and a LOT further north from the openminded one). It is also currently snowing not very further north from me. Alice needs to get her parents to move.

Ushindi I’m out of work, I’m out of my head I’m out of self respect, I’m out of bread I’m underloved, I’m underfed, I wanna go home It never rains in Southern California, but girl, don’t they warn ya? It pours, man, it pours

I liked the reaction of the flush. In an arc, “r t h o m p s o n”. Now, where have I seen those letters before? Hmmm. Somewhere, but where?? Yes, Richard, I know it’s you!
