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.

I'm drinking an Australian Shiraz. It is QUITE tasty.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

how many per week -- is an awkward question. December is different from other months

but july and august are different .

and since I've been told what the answer is , it is easy to say I have a glass of wine most nights and leave it at that.

and for the record, no strong drink tonight.

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

This conversation made me get a glass of shiraz.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Since the Surprised Kitten video got linked to three times, I'm posting this: Somewhat Surprised Kitten is just kind of like, meh

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I drink because I like the taste of various drinks. Getting drunk is more of a bad side effect than the desired result.

I get drunk because when it comes time to go from pleasantly tipsy to drunk, my decision-making skills are impaired.

Our wings are not tired.

And for me, this is the reason I like alcohol. It lets me let go of that control impulse, even if just a bit.

Me, too.

I am only drinking tea right now but that could change any minute. Megan and I had some pretty good $3 drinks after seeing The Very Serious Man Who Lives Amongst the Worst Creatures in the Universe the other night. We needed 'em.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Kat, awesome family photo. I love seeing Gracie out but seeing you all together is just incredible.

Why am I up at 3 am? This is so not good.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I can now report that all three goals of my margarita drinking were a grand success.

Go, margarita!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I get drunk because when it comes time to go from pleasantly tipsy to drunk, my decision-making skills are impaired.

This happens to me on occasion. And the f2fs are definitely an occasion.
