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.

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.

What puzzle warrants all the whitefonting?

I imagined up Narrator, before I imagined up all of you, so all of you who are in the general Chicago area are all figments of Narrator's imagination, and she didn't exist, long before I started imagining her.

Scaring thing is, Topic!Cindy, this made sense to me.

The whole right column is impossible. That's the only place where I've got squares not opened up.

The right column is cracktastic. You're in the drugs square, right? Do you have the one below it? The center word is one of the things mentioned in the hints. It connects through one of the drugs, which is legal and popular. You want more?

Jesse, have any more hints for the one between the drugs square and the one below it? Not Quentin Tarantino, the one directly to the left of that one.

It's a man's drug, which links to another, which links to the center of the square, which is... a marketing technique.

Okay, I've got the center word, now. It's opened up a whole bunch of stuff, but I'm still clueless. It is what it is.
