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

"You expect me to buy it?"

Tell him I said, "HEY!"

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

So if the associate across the hall thanks the two paralegals whose offices are on either side of mine for all of their help loudly enough that everyone in the area hears him (and gives them both presents), then comes into my office and demands I help him with something, even though I am clearly in the middle of something else (as he has a habit of doing), I get to spork him, right?

I'll use my fancy Christmas spork.

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

Tell him I said, "HEY!"

I know. Give Colin a hug for me, would you.

My past few days have been surreal. I'm not sure my sister coming in to town nets to a good idea, because if she's here I can actually take some of my pain meds, and some of them make me socially aggressive.

Currently there's an offer out--any male LA krav instructor who will pole dance for me will get not just a pole dance from me but also a lap dance if I take those classes.

Not sure how that happened.

Sister's dreamt up a strip club excursion tomorrow.

Last time I was at the ER they gave me IV in my foot.

Everything's just weird.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Suddenly it all becomes clear.

Ha! It seems he's lost his job again and "met someone" who he will be moving to another state for. Which? Hooray! But also, today my bf is the light of his life while yesterday she was "an ugly twisted thing." Whatevs. It'll make for catty HH talk at any rate.

Aims, you should help me open my store with clothes that flatter everybody. Or you could do the lion tamer thing.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Festive sporking is required in this case, I think. Make sure the spork has jingle bells tied to the top to add the proper mood music.

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

Should she wear a Santa hat, a la Teppy?

It seems he's lost his job again

No doubt due to his taste in email forwards...

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Aims, you should help me open my store with clothes that flatter everybody.

Ok. Although today, I would not be a very good example of that.

Also? I hate my hair.

Yay Christmas.

I am wearing a red satin skirt with black polka dots.

This is as festive as I will ever be.
