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.

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

I thought quails were like turkeys. I honestly didn't think they could fly.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Valentine's Day poem from Neil Gaiman:

Roses are red,
Violets are purple,
Which is a very hard word to rhyme
And makes me happy that on February the 14th we don't traditionally have to give each other oranges.

I laughed long and hard at TDS last night.

I was rolling around on the couch at the expression on Jon's face when they got to the Olympic opening ceremonies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

When did Cheney make any jokes?

He didn't. But official people making jokes about it just seems tacky.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I just witnessed spontaneous Hokey Pokey.

They have a suppository for that now, don't they?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

So now the guy had a heartattack due to bird shot reaching his heart: [link].

Dude. As if the Aerosmith parodies weren't enough now there will Bon Jovi filks as well.

I laughed long and hard at TDS last night. I figured the guy was in intensive care because he was in his seventies.

And that's a reasonable assumption on your part, but Scott and the boys -- particularly since they've been working so hard to make sure the guy is ok that they couldn't squeeze out a press release -- know better.

Of course, its fortunate I do not work on the whitehouse staff. They'd have to keep chasing me out of camera range.
