Happy Scola Day! I hope you are feeling better, and that you don't have to jump through anyone else's hoops.
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

Happy Birthday Tom!
Ooh, that sounds good! I had a well-balanced dinner, in stages, that ended up being one thing too many:
1) small bowl of chili
2) small tortilla with cheese
3) brocolli with ranch dressing
4) thin mints
Woman, did you learn nothing from Monty Python's The Meaning of Life?!?

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Now think of this: We each are the designated plug pullers for our mothers.
I will sleep soundly tonight.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Um, yes. I did learn nothing. I actually don't think I've ever seen The Meaning of Life.
What crucial lesson did I miss??

It's the mint at the end that will kill you.

The danger of finishing off a big meal with a wafer-thin mint. Though I wouldn't recommend the Mr. Creosote segment if you get nauseated easily.
The movie has some great bits though, like "The Crimson Permanent Assurance" at the start and a dinner party unexpectedly attended by the Grim Reaper near the end.

And before I forget, happy birthday, Tom!
This means if there are any other Torchwood guests, we will have to deal with the Spike fangirls to attend the panels.
God damn it.

Well, she hardly had a Creosote-worthy meal to precede the mint. And while it was thin, we don't know that it was wafer-thin. Perhaps it was merely Girl Scout thin. Or possibly one-molecule-wide thin. We just don't know!

That, or the salmon mousse.
