Can I go home now??
Yes.
(See how I avoided entering furniture into the post?)
Also. I'm never making chestnut soup again. I spent almost two hours peeling the motherfuckers.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm going to recommend ginger capusules rather than Dramamine, so you won't be a zombie when you get there.
I support Sparky's rec. Dramamine is, for me, often worse than the ill. This coming from someone whose trip up Hwy1 as a child became ledge-n-dairy in the retelling over the years. At one point, the proprietor of one establishment cried in sympathy for me and suggsted putting a brown bag next to my tummy to keep it warm and cut down on the barfing. You might guess what it ended up being used for.
That is such gorgeous country, but that road can be hell on the belly.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Shir, can you buy the already cooked and peeled chestnuts next time.
Hil, the stupid things people say never fails to amaze me.

Don't be too jealous GC, but I think he is off to Key West today.

Hil, send him over to Israel.
He'll be surrounded.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Hil, the stupid things people say never fails to amaze me.
Actually, at this point I think the entire rest of the world is getting smarter; I'm pretty sure this one officemate of Hil's is blowing through several dozen people's lifetime allotments of stupid things to say. Pretty soon all the rest of us are going to run out completely.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Hil, I'm pretty sure your office mate is an alien.

The other distressing thing about Hil's office mate is that he just can't keep his stereotypes straight. If here Uncle WERE a holocaust survivor his heart attack would have had a cause. And they all would have known it because every third person at the table would have been a psychiatrist.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
