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 see the words "exploding toilet," and all I can picture is that horrible episode of Dirty Jobs, when they had to clean up a totally disgusting basement, complete with exploding toilet.
