Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I hope to be! Or, really, I hope to be taping it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I thought I remembered that, Jesse, which is why I asked.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The only thing I've ever yelled from a car window was "Cause you gots the flavah!"

My older brother's friends occasionally yelled "Release Davros!" from the car window, which was endearingly random and geeky. They were premium-grade dipsticks in so many ways, but it's nice to see they win at Yelling from the Car Window.

A few minutes later, the parents heard some strange noises coming from the boy's room. They went in and found their precious son playing with.... a penguin!!!

Made. Of. Awesome!!

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?

Made. Of. Awesome!!

Isn't that the best story ever?? I keep picturing the kid wrangling the penguin into his backpack.

You wouldn't happen to know the species, would you? I need to get the mental image right. This is going to occupy the majority of my afternoon, and I'd hate to get it wrong.

Shrift, those glasses really look hot on you. Not that I get a vote, but I really approve of your choice.

According to the zoo's web site, they have Humboldt penguins. I didn't see any other species listed, so I guess that must be it.

OK, that kid? Has the best story ever. I hope he grows up to be a zoologist and care for penguins legitmately. Or be a vet. My cousin and her husband are vets up at an Air Force base in Washington state and he (working for the AF) gets quite a few exotics. Probably no penguins, though. They are both glad of their surgical intern-trips to China. They got to deal with a lot of exotics. Including pandas!
