Most of the letters members of my family have done are actually quite fun to read. I do have one cousin who is a little self-congratulatory, but she's got a cute kid, so I get over it.
Today is dragging and I've done virtually no work.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

If you have kids, you have to brag about them A LOT. If they are ugly or not on the honor roll, don't mention them.
Question: why don't more web sites where you can buy stuff have Wish List features? I loves me some Amazon wish list (even if nobody ever buys me anything from it). I want my LL bean wish list, damn it!

A cousin of my mother used to write xmas letters that we'd look forward to every year for the comic effect. She used the word "perfect" a lot when describing what was going on with her family. One of her daughters even had a "perfect divorce."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have no idea why I just decided to write an Xmas letter. I have no SO, no kids, no pet. No new job...okay, no I have one of those, no life, not much of much. Ah, well.
Bon -- did you see? Ted C has written more about Toothy Tile! And there's going to be a movie called Cockblockers. I'm more than a little disappointed that a Wilson isn't in it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Poor Jesse! I thinks you're pretty, even if your parents don't.
Ah well, you're sure to get a mention this year, what with the tv appearance and the hanging out with Warren Buffet.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Bon -- did you see? Ted C has written more about Toothy Tile!
It's getting ridiculous. Since he disclaims 3 new random guys each time in addition to printing letters that have wrong guesses about Toothy Tile...soon it will be statistically impossible for it to be anyone else.
But still. Kind of amazing how utterly open it is now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Poor Jesse! I thinks you're pretty, even if your parents don't.
Aw, thanks! Honestly, my mother forgot about me in the flurry of weddings.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Argh. Rage. [link] Cheney is requesting the Senate put an exemption for the CIA in an anti-torture bill basically saying "There might come a time when we really, really need to torture somebody. Really." Unbelievable.

Cheney is requesting the Senate put an exemption for the CIA in an anti-torture bill
Well, and really. When has the CIA balked at breaking the law in the pursuit of whatever it is they pursue? They don't need an exemption any more than they needed an exemption in all those "It is illegal to overthrow our government" laws in South and Central America.
Also, Dick, honey, where was this lovin' up the CIA back when Tenet was in charge? Don't think those guys don't notice that you blame them whenever something goes wrong.
