That's exciting news, Ouise! Congratulations. You'll enjoy being an Aunt.
I was confused about how Michael Cera's fake breakup with Charlyne was making GC cry.
On the real crypoint: I also liked the hug between Al and Bill. Lotta history there, man.
I'll nurse you back to health. I'll wear the nurse outfit!

If I follow your sentence correctly, and I might not be, it sounds like what you did a year ago was put it off for another year.
Perhaps there's only so much work I can do in Perl per year, and when I reach my limit I fall down and go into... a functional coma?

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Congrats!!
When I read this, I thought car == automobile an it made the post even more interesting. Jesse ran her car into somebody she didn't like? I think 'don't mess around with cowgirls' is the moral to that story.
That should be the moral of every story!!

Our wings are not tired.
Congrats on the auntyhood, Ouise! And best wishes to the parents.
Aw man, I watched the live coverage of the arrival and greetings, but the stills still got me choked up. I can't even imagine how the women must have felt when they saw Bill Clinton. The Al & Bill hug, damn. Well done boys.

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
Ouise! Congratulations! Tell Nora I said so too!!!!

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
Thanks for all the congratulations. I've emailed Nora with a link to the thread so she can read the congratulations herself.
I was counting up the knitter relatives, and this kid is going to be swamped in knits: mother, two aunts (including me!), grandmother, two great-aunts, and a great-grandmother!
Most of them are better at finishing projects than I am. On the bright side, I have at least two baby sweaters (originally intended for others, who have long since grown too big for them) that are mostly finished. Hurray?
