Did you try looking on a Tuesday? I see a lot of specials for tacos on Tuesdays

i don’t mind other people’s car color choices as long as it is not any shade of green

Meanwhile, a 30-something couple-he an actuarial, she an Office Depot manager-drove by in their 2015 Toyota Camry. Never exceeding the speed limit by anything that would garner attention they arrived at their unremarkable house without drama a half-hour later.

Or, because of the oddities of benchmarking, they might actually say

Um, if it had nothing to do with the city, then why is the T-Rex short for Torontosauras Rex, idiot.
