You'd think he'd be happy about the crazy chick who tried to burn him alive, and then suicided in the flames.

Tiggum posted:

Is it the phrase "past mistress"? It just means she's really good at it, although I think you just say "past master" whether the person you're talking about is male or female and the grammar is messed up. It's really hard to work the phrase so as to slip "past master" in there at all. A normal person might say something like "the crackling blast of demonic plasma (Dru's speciality)" but obviously McEldowney wanted to force the words "past mistress" into that sentence. Even so, he could have done better, eg. "the crackling blast of demonic plasma launched by Dru, a past master of the art."

That is exactly what was catching me up. I have never heard the phrase 'past master' before and he'll make hideously ugly and lovely sentences just to slip some stupid bullshit in. And fail then too!

The only time I've seen "past master" is on collections of Beatles singles. I've never seen "past mistress."

There has. There is. The Wikipedia article starts "Wales is a country". It's just like England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, a country that is part of the UK. Why do you think Wales isn't a country?

I think maybe they could have come in anyway because of the neighbours hearing someone in danger?

Honestly not a bad way to describe it. Romeo and Juliet may be the most well-known by a smidge, but there's a good reason Macbeth is considered Shakespeare's finest play.

(It's both well-written and extremely interesting. One of these things may not be true about Game of Thrones depending on who you ask and which book you're talking about.)
