Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Well you only get out of taxes if you are not political. So having a gathering to supporting changing the rules of the senate, denouncing your political opponents as anti-religious, supporting the nominations of specific federal judges, and being addressed in a partisan manner by the majority leader of the senate is an example of not being political. I can't think of an example of being political at the moment.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Eww. I just discovered that I have 2 of the new nickels in my pocket. The buffalo is way cool, but the giant Jefferson is just wrong.

Anything having to do with stewardship of the planet, no doubt.

Don't be too eager, Gud. The Pez is staring at me with its one gridded eye. Hey, why did the Death Star have that small circular... thing that looks like an eye, anyway?

Youngster, that's where the planet-killing death laser comes out of.

Ah, Alderaan, we hardly knew ye.

Isn't that where the planet killing laser beam came from?

Just makes that giant Jefferson even more unsettling.
