According to Mary, the FedEx guy heard something scrabbling in the back of his delivery truck. He was nonplussed to hear there were lobsters bumping against the inside of the box.
I hope Tom tells me the meaning of nonplussed.
From the west Carhenge awaits investigation. My magnetic lines are magically aligning once again to their own true north of the high plains.
The meridians are like little soldiers on parade waiting for the sergeant at the north pole to bark orders.

One's unsisterly sneering snideness makes a brother nonplussed, perplexed and somewhat vexed.
Snide: underhandedly mocking, mean, sarcastic.
