That's incredible to hear from the East coast, shrift.
Exactly. The train from Syracuse to Penn Station takes five hours or something crazy, and you could drive it in three on a good day. And it's over $100, too.
I seen you without your clothes on before. Never thought I'd see you naked.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
That's incredible to hear from the East coast, shrift. Up and down the northeast corridor, Amtrak is slower than driving and as expensive as flying, for the most part.
Grr. Don't get me started. It's enough to drive one into the arms of Fung Wah! (Although I gather Greyhound has come just as cheap.)
Last time I took Amtrak (granted, six years ago now), the fast train was more expensive than flying and about the same speed, and the slow train was still $100+ round-trip, and took six hours either way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The kids are loving it, both those who have and have not seen it before (How have people not seen it before?)
I'm pretty sure I've never actually seen the whole thing of Princess Bride.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Jesse, say it ain't so.
Back to FNL for a sec - Lyla flipping her shit like that didn't actually seem OTT for me. Maybe I have problems with impulsiveness, but her demolition derby was something I could have seen myself doing given her circumstances.
The boys damn near killed me with how awesome they were all together. Riggins getting along with Street AND Smash! Saracen being the junior member and learning from Street, and yet having to lead the entire team next week. And Smash? Call your girlfriend. Tell her you're still processing. Something.
As always, Buddy Garrity can burn in hell.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Would you like us to recite it for you?

My sister was telling me last night that she hasn't had liquor (other than occasional sips of her fiance's drink) since she had her gastric-bypass surgery last October. She keeps looking longingly at wine bottles, but is determined not to have any until the wedding in October, and even then, she'll only have a glass or two. Problem is, with the smaller stomach liquor will make her "an easy date," as she termed it.
I'm soooo glad I decided to skip the surgery option, although I've skipped liquor since starting the diet, as well (but I wasn't the wine fan that Sis is).

I could practically recite it at this point! Which is part of why I feel no need to see it.

In theory, it should only take me 3 hours to make the drive. I've made good time once or twice. But I gather they've started up even more crazy construction on the highway, and I could very well spend 3 hours just trying to get out of Chicago.
Also. Um. My registration expired in January, and I kind of haven't been to the DMV yet because I rarely need to drive anywhere.
As an adult, I suck out loud, man.
