Horse sense.

Mall rat.

Text adherents.

No brain, some gain.

We are Groot.

The art of forgetting.

The giver.

Memories are made into this.

Tomorrow dies.

Total recall.

Fade away or here to stay?

You’ve got a friend in me.

Lucky seven.

But it was all a dream.

A special tense.

The claw chooses who will stay.

New look, same great taste.

Institutional memory.

Pay me what you owe me.
