I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

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

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I love the Klein bottle site -- it's full of incredibly nerdy jokes, even in the order forms.
Also, I want a Klein hat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Day done with. Intense funeral. Three Little Birds may make me misty for a while. But there was much dancing, especially by the son of the deceased and the second line. New Orleans funerals. Food, drumming, poetry.
A startling moment, though, when the sister of the deceased (who lost her brother ten years ago) turned to me and said "Will you be my sister now?" She's shown so little emotionally--it was a complete shock. I couldn't answer. I just hugged her.
Went back to an aunt's house where we talked dirty and drank and played Scrabble. Now we're back at the hotel and sister is on the phone with her FB.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That sounds, well not great, but like what was needed/the best it could be, ita. I'm glad.

We did the whole brass band and guys and stilts and following the hearse thing.

That sounds like an awesome send off.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Just got back from watching a boring fight at a bar on Sunset. Remember Puddle Of Mudd? No? Because their lead singer would like you to, by going to bars on Saturday night with his son, both wearing cheap nylon jackets with the band's name on them. That happened. Also, there are two NBA franchises in LA? I forgot this. As did everyone else in the bar who were trying to figure out who the 6'7" black non-Lakers were.
They were Clippers!

My mother used to have a whole box of skeleton keys. I should ask if she still has it and make the blinky-eyed, grabby-hand move.
And then I will make the blinky-eyed, grabby-hand move at you. This is a good plan!
ita, it sounds like a good send-off.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I forgot this.
Easy mistake to make.
