Bohica is the name of spaceship in the novel Ring Of Charon by Roger McBride Allen. It occurred to me that an appropriate license plate should be on the ship.
I used a license plate lookup site to find one. You had to choose a state, so I searched the first state that came up. Behold, one popped up. Whether it’s real or not I don’t know–I didn’t bother finding out who it belonged to.
Why this occurred to me I have no idea. Perhaps a cosmic ray flipped a bit in my brain.
Bohica is also Bend Over Here It Comes Again. Which may fit Alabama better.
That was my interpretation. I decided the relevance to Alabama was none of my business,
The princess looks like butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth.
Millie_Fink Thank you for that; I didn’t realise how much I needed a dose of Daniel Johnson. 
Groovy!
They also scratch hell outta yr glasses, I’m told. Better off giving/getting something that makes really big ice thingies who V slowly melt, like
death star ice spheres.

we actually have a pair of those Death Star cubes. we love them, but we also wish they could come out perfectly clear. They are a bit of a challenge to get out, but thankfully the equatorial trench provides a bit of a place to get a grip on them.
I have always heard that boiling the water first helps; it removes dissolved gases that can cause cloudiness due to bubbles. I’ve never tried it, however, so I can’t vouch for it.
Apparently you can buy special “clear ice cube” trays that “control the direction of freezing”.
yep – directional freezing is the key. i tried the hot water tactic, and it helps a bit, but what i think needs to happen is it needs to freeze from the inside first and force the gasses out. The only way we’ve read that could make the Death Stars clear is if we tried something that requires putting a small cooler in our freezer, and we just don’t have the room for that. Currently trying to make clear ice with little 4 oz. Yeti espresso cups – we’ll see if that works.

No, not The Whos.
Pretty sure it was The Beatles.
This was delightful. I think they’ve each met their match. Cunk vs. Cox
