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...

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm not sure that the microwave has a defrost setting. I suppose I should take it out of the butcher paper?

It's just that I don't generally freeze meat, but I had to throw this in the freezer before I left for Xmas vacation (or it would go over for sure). Now I'd like to shorten the time it takes to unfreeze so I can start making it into Turkey Helper.

It's about 2/3rds of a pound, so we're not talking all that much to wait to unfreeze, but still.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Oh yah, for turkey helper just throw it right in the pan.

It's been sitting on the counter for about an hour now -- which I feel sure is too short a time to develop botulism -- so I suppose pan-frying (which would have been its fate anyway) is the next step....

My mom has been warned what kind of containers my porn is in, and can pitch it without looking in the event of my untimely death. If it's anyone else cleaning up my place, I don't care what they see. (Hell, my landlord's welcome to it if any of it suits his taste.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There's a secret family story about a relative of mine going to clean up the house of a family friend after he died, because his mother didn't know he was a crossdresser. Or gay. She did know he was blind. That's right, a gay, blind, crossdresser.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

blind, crossdresser.

That must have made clothes shopping interesting.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I've been catching up from last night, and damn, Gus. Just. Damn. He will be sorely missed. Thanks to those who found some great Gus quotage and posted it.

That's what I said! Although, it's true that women's clothes often feel nicer (or at least more interesting with texture and etc.) than men's, so maybe that was part of it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I don't understand the bacon obsession.
