Because You Took Advantage, Because You Took Advantage Of My Disadvantage. . .

I've probably succeeded in scaring everyone, particularly those of you who have read Lolita, with that title, so I'll just explain. Yes, the title is from a poem from Lolita. This is because I just typed the work "Because" into the title, and then had to write down the first lines of the poem. I really love that novel. It's great, once you get past the rather disturbing bits. Which is essentially the whole novel. However, this is not a post about Lolita. Well, it sort of is, because that's how it is now, and there's nothing more to it. . .

Anyway.

Quiz.
