"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Tom, that's very sad.

I still remember my Dad forcing my brother and me to ride the teacups (when we were about 10 and 11) because we had used up all the D and E tickets and he was determined to get his money's worth. I think we drew the line at Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride though.

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

But remaining calm in a dire situation will serve me well when the zombies come, so I've got that going for me.

But! But! HULK SMASH! Beserker rage!

No?

I just got back three out of office emails telling me the recipients are out until May 17th. Did someone call a vacation and not tell me? Where is everyone? Somewhere fun? Magic Mountain?

Did he tell you that it didn't REALLY hurt, and/or that you had a good time?

Not explicitly. HE was having a good time, I though I was supposed to, too.

My mom is from the school of parenting where you pull a Punk'd on your kid and then insist that they REALLY liked it. Good times. Loved the therapy bills.

This is why I will not go to haunted houses and yet my mother to this day will insist -- INSIST -- that I liked them as a kid.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Tom, I want ita to go back in time and ask your dad if he watches Firefly.

Yes, this.

Glad to hear your good news, Burrell!

I don't remember the teacups, if I rode them. I vaguely remember Pirates of the Caribbean, I think, but that's about it. I should go back to Disneyland at some point, it's been 35ish years.

I like this plan.

I can totally see that. Me? I'll continue to be avoidy.

So the new calendar for next year's school year? We have off a week at Thanksgiving. SO EXCITING. But they are unpaid furlough dates (not exciting).

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

Grrr, Tom.

Too bad you couldn't have thrown up on Dad while on the tea cups.

Not that I did that or anything.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good news, Burrell!

But! But! HULK SMASH! Beserker rage!

For some of us, that would just be a recipe for trouble. And getting killed. I'm going to rely on my wiles! I wish both nearby malls had food courts, instead of just the one.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I am so tempted to purloin that for a tagline...may I?

Please do! Anything I can do to contribute to your violent nature and/or rep!

ION, I've been gluten-free for 2 weeks, and I just had 2 slices of pizza (frozen pizza, but still pizza) for my experiment. I await results.

Or, I hope, lack of results.
