Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I love that recipe, because it turns American Chop Suey on its head! By adding the chili powder.

And I like that knife block, too, because it's less violent than the other!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I did not think it possible to top the other favorite knife block.

How small our dreams were!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

But what if I don't have the right brand of canned spaghetti?

You are screwed!

Although Mama Rea was a Southern lady so she probably would not have said 'screwed.'

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

Should I get my 31-year-old fiance a PS2 for his birthday or will a video game system totally ruin our lives?

I can't believe how often American Chop Suey appeared on my childhood lunch menus.

And my great-grandmother probably ate it, too!

I only remember ever having it once as a child. At my parents' friends house in Texas. And I never had the Mexican Chop Suey.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Get a Wii! They have a Harvey Birdman game!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Your fiance is only 31? I have no opinion to offer on gift options, just a vague sense of elderly decrepitude and "Oh, you kids, with your newfangled game systems and all."
