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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Because books.

Does any state claim the loon? I'd like to move there, I think.

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

Maybe a Canadian province?

Thank you Aims! Also, my googling informs me the Common Loon is our national bird. Well, that or the Goose, I'm not sure.

Trust my rage

My grandparents had a cabin in the woods of Wisconsin and when visiting, at night, I would fall asleep listening to the loons. So cool.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Thanks to all of you, I have tracked down the black and white bird that I see a lot around here, and I think it's a black-billed magpie.
