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.

I just attended a benefits meeting in which the Aflac representative and I were heckled by a demonically possessed goat masquerading as a duck.

Um. That's different. How's your temperature doing?

The best Macbeth I've ever seen was by this troupe [link] Halloween night under the stars in the performance dome at Centenary College. A quick look at the website tells me they still head down there. I may try to catch them next year.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

The goat-duck was Aflac swag. You squeeze it and it spouts advertising lines about Aflac. Only the goat? Kept AFLAC!ing us with no outside intervention, like the opposite of the Warner Brothers frog.

Anyway, I was hassled by a goat in duck's clothing while talking about coverage for "paps and mams." I need a cigarette. And possibly a shot of tequila.

Shall I send the Geico gecko to kick some ass?

Well.

What is even happening?

How/why would people be vegans, without understand veganism? I'm frustrated none of the coverage I've read mentions breast milk.

That poor, poor baby.

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

Aflac Goat is a relative of the Aflac Duck.

No he's not. Don't be stupid.

How/why would people be vegans, without understand veganism?

People diet without understanding nutrition all the time. I have, sadly, no problem believing this happens.

They should have a separate prison for stupid people. Not sure how it would differ, but the plain idiots don't need to be with the plain criminal.
