Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Actually, I never think about the Spurs in that pantheon, but I guess they can work.

The Admiral! They were definitely at least semi-finals worthy.

It's the "must" that she's objecting to:

Allowing single guests who aren’t attached to a significant other to bring a date is a thoughtful gesture, but one that is not required.

It is impolite of a guest to ask if he or she can bring a date—but it is not impolite of you to refuse.

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

Oh, he definitely rocked the house (and had the longest shelf life of any of those team's stars, pretty much), but the Celtics, Lakers, and Pistons were definitely a tier above.

All pretty high up there, though.

Goddamnedfuckinghell. I can't work out if I should try the ER or not. I swear my teeth are shaking in their sockets. But dilaudid doesn't work anymore! Unsurprisingly, then, neither does sleeping or Axert or hoping or breathing mindfully.

True.

I wouldn't go to the ER if I didn't think it would help, but I don't know about you.

Find me the right drug?

Nah, I give up. There's no point going home feeling like this. I'll just take a right instead of a left and catch a bus to the hospital instead.

Thanks, though.

It might get me a night's sleep. Which means I'm willing to pay $75 and who knows how much bodily contamination for that much pain relief.

eta: Also, not sure about driving just right now.

So she's arm chick again?

Okay, I'm off. See you guys from the inside. Or something. Wish me a radical recovery on the elevator ride down.

Radical Recovery-ma!

Huh. I just found out that the minor league baseball team the Albuquerque Isotopes took their name from the baseball team on The Simpsons.
