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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I buy a shellfish combon that includes cuttlefish - octopus, squid, cuttlefish, mussels and shrimp. Usually make it with pea pods, carrots, water chessnuts and onions in a souce of wine, sesame and safflowe oil, soy sauce, mollasses, garlic, five spice and umm whatever else I have in mind, stir fried with whole wheat angel hair pasta. Generally I refer to it as cthulhu stew.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Whereas I, semi-vegetarian though I be, learned more about cephalopods, specifically the giant squid, and thought, Fuck it.

Uh-huh. Except I can semi-articulate it. I think.
