the objects in mirror may be closer than they appear fucks with me. my family ran a junkyard, and as a child/teen, i was always hanging out within its borders and exploring old cars and trucks for treasure. that form of the phrase is burned in my memory. you'll never convince me it wasn't something that existed.
i was taught to spell dilemma as dilemna too, but that may be explainable. it's not like every old textbook from the 80s is on annasarchive.
