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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Is Tuesday (this coming Tuesday) Fat Tuesday? Shit, I gotta get paczki for the office.

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

Can/will you make one, Dana?

I've never tried. It's probably not that hard, but it's the kind of thing that feels to me like you should get it from a bakery.

I wish McKenzie's was still in business.

That's right--Tuesday is Pazcki Day! I'll have to make a run over to the local Polish bakery before work.

A co-worker has a regular King Cake supplier who sends her one every year, along with some coffee and other goodies. I think he's a vendor--wish I had a contact like that!

Normally, my mother sends me one. She still may be planning to do that, but I certainly hope the price she pays isn't that outrageous.

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

Someone delivered one of the guys I was meeting with a rose and chocolates during our discussion. Anonymous valentine admirers. No one in our department seems to have any.

I was amazed to see pazcki at the Publix bakery yesterday, sitting next to the hot cross buns.

I have chipped off my downspout (obviously, I stayed home-liberal leave.) Going to the pool in a minute.

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?

People seriously get that off? Huh.

I never got it off when I worked in Corporate America.

You know the Rita Moreno episode of the Muppet Show never gets old or boring. Love her.

And, my day is done. I've got a last period plan, but I'm caught up on everything, so I'm going to try and sneak out before the last bell.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Normally, my mother sends me one. She still may be planning to do that, but I certainly hope the price she pays isn't that outrageous.

If you just bought it and overnighted it, I bet it wouldn't be much cheaper.

Love her singing "Fever" with Animal on the drums!

"Hey, buddy, [Spanish.] Cool it."
[Cymbal crash on Animal's head.]
"That my kinda woman!!"
