That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

That is such a great gift, Allyson.

Especially b/c of the plush shark!

Aquarium tix are a great idea! I love the thought of tix as a family gift. I may have to steal that one from you.

I wish I had somebody here for whom that would be a suitable gift! (It would be PERFECT for my friends with the toddler twins but i'm almost positive they have a membership already.)

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

My dad sent out an e-mail on Monday saying that he has everything he could possibly want, and can afford to buy anything else that he'll ever want, so he wanted everyone to donate his gift money to charity this year.

I tried to get my mom on board with that last year. I told her to spend what she would on me on toys and drop them off for Toys for Tots. I would love this, but she thinks I must have physical gifts.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Speaking of aquarium-themed toys, I remember giving my then-9-y.o. nephew this manta ray puppet. He loved it! I had gotten it at a huge discount at the book convention that year--the niece got a porcupine from the same vendor.

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

A couple years ago my sister and I unknowingly "got" each other charity goats. We're definitely on the same page.

I keep asking my parents for a goat. Haven't gotten one yet.

In the presents for me category, does anybody know of any good sites to look at kitchen design ideas aside from IKEA? (I'm getting me a new kitchen next year!)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Man. I wish I could be there when he opens it.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Is Kelly Pickler's stupidity an act?

I had an Hawaiian chicken sandwich from Hardees for lunch today and I have declared it messy but YUMMY!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I had a sloppy Joe for lunch. It was a bit too sweet.
