This is the Icelandic Yule Cat, Jólaköttur making sure you asked for socks this Christmas.

Yeah.

Asking for this for Christmas.

I grew up saying it that way in the Chicago area. Not sure what geographic distribution on that one is.

Innings drain out. They don’t fill. It’s an arbitrary convention.

I’m researching. Top classically meant beginning. I’m guessing from an hour glass when most of the sand was at the top. Half way through, most of the sand was at the bottom.

Agreed. It’s basically a right-left thing if the clock thing doesn’t come naturally. My other mnemonic is like a drain or an hour glass. That might be where the clock thing comes from. I’m going with the hour glass from now on.

Top of the hour comes before the bottom of the hour. (Not that we really use those terms anymore.)

They make great pets, THEY MAKE GREAT PETS!

Just been on a Versaille kick lately.
