Uch, I flaked again. Last week I forgot to shrink and sign the "Downscale" strip; this time I did everything but upload it. I should make a checklist.

Speaking of flaking, this otherwise nice article describes the title A Hard's Day's Night as Ringo's "malapropism." A malapropism is the accidental substitution of a similar-sounding word, like "beagle" for "Beatle." Either I don't realize what sounds like "hard day's night," or this author's usage is almost a malapropism in itself.

I think the author meant an oxymoron, which it also isn't because it describes the pleasant things that happen at night after the hard day that preceded is over.
