You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It was a very strong smell of pee, if that helps.

Was it... human? Or perhaps from an incontinent guide-dog?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, maybe you are mildy allergic to pee. Or pee-smell.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I keep telling people about my itchy-throat reaction to cherries and avocado,

I don't know about cherries, but that's a very common reaction to avocado. Also, benadryl would keep your throat from closing up.

My throat has not yet closed up. And actually, I haven't had any reaction the last few times I have had avocado. It's something about the fruit being over-ripe, I think.

Maybe your friends need to walk around with an intubation tube.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Or a ball point pen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with the smell of stale guide dog pee to say, tommy.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

What is the yiddeshe for "William"?

I don't think there is a direct equivalent, and also, the name put down on official papers could have easily been the Polish or Russian equivalent. You might try searching with just first initial W or V, since those would be the most likely.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ha! And I just watched "Wax Lion" today.

No intubation here! I'm not the one allergic to pee! ita would never make it in the NYC.
