Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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

Okay, but why do only second-degree polynomials yield parabolic curves?

It has to do with the nature of conic sections.

No, really. I'm pretty sure one could prove this.

eta: or you could prove it from the definition of a parabolic curve and ignore the whole conic section thing, I think....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Which means it's hysteria and can be alleviated by the application by specially trained medical personnel of a vibrator, right?

That's totally my favorite Olde Tyme Remedy.

I have a plan.

Doing a quick run by to ask if anybody here has seen this show 'Fire Me, Please'?

I have never laughed so hard at the T.V. in recent memory!

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Jonathan on Blow-Out just said that he is hair.

I saw a rerun today in which he attended a staff meeting, after-hours, inexplicably holding a comb the entire time. He really is hair.

The neat thing? The remedy is still just as effective today.

Well, tommyrot, if you run across a proof, let me know, would you?

Sara, we eat there next visit.

Oh hell yeah. I swear, I'm going to limit myself to at MOST once a week as I work through their menu.

Today, my mom bought me some salvia (though...not like anything I've ever seen! They look like alien plants. Freaky!) and a new ivy to replace the one I suddenly killed. That was fun.

I'm still a little leery of how I'm going to survive a whole week with them. I figure I'll work in some trips to mortgage people by myself and whatnot. And shoo them away sometimes.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
