The Slice: Reader is truly cat’s meow

Slice readers have skills.

Medical office receptionist Lacie Graf Hansen can recite the Lord’s Prayer in Old English.

Seamstress Karen Reinhart can play both parts of the “Chopsticks” piano duet at the same time.

Nurse Joyce Fromhold can instantly swap first letters or syllables of words and come up with results like, “Du Rolph, the Ned Rose Dain Reer, had a very niny shose.”

Slice answers: Jim Corcoran, Herb Postlewait, Barb Stimers and others said their least favorite aspect of the moviegoing experience is being subjected to commercials. “I absolutely despise them and on occasion will boo,” said Corcoran.

Asked and answered: “I can tell you the difference between holiday cookies and regular cookies,” wrote Liz Cox. “Holiday cookies are made with spices at least 10 years old found in the back of the cupboard but kept because they’re expensive and no single recipe ever calls for more than half a teaspoon.”
