I didn't realize that A Cock and Bull Story was a book...good to know.
I'm cataloging (okay, copy-cataloging) the pictured edition of TS as we speak! Regarding the phrase "a cock and bull story," the last line of the Notes on the last page of the book is: "That Sterne ends TS with a bawdy revivification of a proverbial expression is particularly characteristic." Bawdy revivification. What an AWESOME pairing of words.
Gillian Anderson went to City High School in GR, Michigan. Maybe everyone knew that...

I always thought she went to EGR High?
No, Michelle is right, it was City.
