I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I've been known to send anything that has to be mailed home with my mom along with some cash. Unfortunately, she left too early this morning. She's one of those strange people that likes going to the post office. It might help that she lives in a small town.

What else would make a good Holiday Tree topper?
A monkey in a fez. Especially cool if it was a real monkey that would periodically fling candy at passing children.
Or, you know, whatever else is handy.

You have a very individual approach to winter solstice.
I come from a family that has decorated a dead yucca stalk, norfolk island pines and on one occasion, three small trees clumped together to look kinda like one. We didn't have the easter bunny, we had the easter jackrabbit.
I come by it honestly.
(actually, if it isn't the One True Tree, which has sort of been retired in favor of more family, I am inclined to go for way out whacky if I'm going to bother at all.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Or, you know, whatever else is handy.
That wouldn't be very festive. You'd have to be sure to feed the monkey red and green glitter first.

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

As tidbits about various buffistas come back to me, I remember how much sarameg's tales about her family remind me of the Murry family in A Wrinkle in Time.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Spidra, right here. I think they only turn the gaslights on for two or three hours a night -- but, still. Real gaslights! Such a very different quality from electric lights, so very much worth a visit. Plus, the bar itself is just extra-cool anyway, even by daylight with regular old lightbulbs.

I'm assuming that you mean one of the others. Me. I keep my maglite next to my bed, presumably to use in case of power failure. However, it can clock the shit out of anyone who attacks me in my bed. Assuming I can get my right arm free, of course.

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
