from our good friend raynor:
"let us revel and rejoice
for on this day in 1869, parliament (and george clinton) repealed the duty on hair powder act of 1795. because of this, you and i and lady gaga no longer have to pay the man™ when we want to powder our outlandish wigs with lavender-scented finely ground starch."
