Thanks to you guys for the auto-linky thing. It is so nice.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
And now I feel terribly rude for frivoling all over shrift's thwumpage. For which I'm very sorry, as the universe owes shrift a thwump-free day or fifty.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's a weird pitch, bon. He's asking other people to get him a job, in effect. Saving an existing show, I get. This is ... odd.

Hands shrift a beer.
I think the general US term for these folks is ultra-orthodox. And, yes, on a sweltering July day in New York, I always feel sorry for the men wearing furry hats. I think it would be only fair if they were allowed to swap to nice cotton hats during the summer, to avoid heatstroke.
I think Nilly had it right. I think it's usually Hasidic (or Hassidim, or Chassidim).

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
I see your weird and raise you tacky.
He wants the fans to pitch his show idea to the studio? I don't get it.

Oh, well, it's all right, because y'all have been discussing wedding dresses and the like, and this has recently become relevant in my life. Last weekend, as the smallest bridesmaid in attendance, I was called upon to model because the sample dresses in the store were mostly a size 8.
Let me just say that I have boobular containment issues with a bridal store size 8. In that I don't get to breathe.
Scotch, I could use. I spent all morning working on servers, and just when I thought I was good to go on the gigantic pile of work that built up whilst I was off making sure everyone else on site could do their work as usual, another server needs my attention.
I think they're conspiring.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Oh, shrift. Modelling BM dresses is a trial no one should have to endure.
How about a Black and Tan? I'm all out of scotch right now.

I don't have scotch, shrift. I have beer, Kahlua, and Merlot.
Oh, and I think some Bailey's.
