Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

What is even happening?

shrift. I'm so sorry. That must feel like such a violation. Peace and security to you.

That's UMPOSSIBLE!

I know! They were basically babies/toddlers when we met, right Lisa? I'm not dreaming that up, am I?

Ah, I've got to get back to my Lost recap. I'll catch you later. Shrift, take it easy.

Bronze threaded nearly 10 years ago, so yeah! Not dreaming.

Hee! Jack is right about ham and especially cake (in re: lisah's links).

Happy Birthday to Ben!

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

Very ugh, shrift.

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

There were a million and a half magazines with the Obamas on the cover at the supermarket, and behind me in the checkout line I hear this little kid voice say loudly: "Barack Obama! What's Barack Obama doing? Is he promising to be a good president?" And her mother patiently explained how he intended to do all sorts of good things. Very cute.

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

You're going to have to get her some baggy pants.
