Aww, congratulations Msbelle and Mac!
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

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

Talk about culture gaps for Mac.
Yay, kisses!
Also, great mention, Allyson.
Oh, and about the vegan using cows to plough--if you're the sort of vegan that thinks honey and yeast are crossing a line, labour seems a bit much to ask of the creatures out there.

I'm coming to the conclusion that I just don't understand how my heating system works. Here is how I think it's supposed to work: a. the boiler downstairs is running, my thermostat is set at a temperature, the radiators run to get the apartment to the temperature. When the apartment is at that temperature, they stop running.
Here is how it is working: the thermostat is set at a temperature. The boiler downstairs is working. The radiators run until the boiler is so low that the safety valve shuts it off. I fill up the boiler and we start over.
That can't be right, can it?

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 love that he used me as an example sooo much. And also that I got a comparision to Sedaris. I can't even tell you what that means to me, and that my editor is so confident in me.
I can't wait for Mac to try a slice of New York pizza.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Not for nothing, but you can't order New York pizza online.
Now I want pizza. Possibly ordered online.
