I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I know! I was just going to say that resembled the ILM line drawings.

"Awww.... who's the cute little wee dark lord?"

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Wee!Vader is the cutest thing EVAR! Plus his galoshes just add that final touch of BWAH to the picture.

Swouncing

I was just brattily nitpicking about a GPA not being a statistic

Never apologize about having fun with numbers!

I love he jeans tucked into galoshes

Galoshes are the rubber-sort-of-boots that he's wearing? So that he could jump into puddles without getting his feet wet and his parents worried?

Yep. Galoshes on kids are adorable x 10.

When we were in Hawaii a few years ago, there was a kid in shorts and red galoshes who was marching around a restaurant. He was cute enough to scoop up.

I can't even.

Known as wellie (for wellington) boots where I come from. I agree with y'all that the boots totally make that costume.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I say swan off now, Vortex.

I use the round-to-evens rule in all cases because that way I only have to remember one rule, rather than deciding which one to use in each case. But that's just me.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Galoshes used to also be called "rubbers," but that's gone out of common usage, for obvious reasons.

I was going to swan off now because I forgot the beer at home for the post-work softball game. But I'll just swan off early and hit the store pre-game.

But, you, Vortex, should clearly swan off and have lunch options.

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

Vortex! Happy belated birthday!

Thanks! Oh, and it occurs to me that someone might have wished me a happy birthday on Tuesday (Nilly, I'm looking at you!), but since I came back to over a thousand posts, I skipped like a skipping thing. so, if you did, thanks!
