Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, Allyson -- definitely vote crashing.

Timing is key! I always play a song on iTunes that's in the range of 2:44. I remove the egg when the song is over.

OK, so I didn't have the water hot enough, because I cooked it three minutes. My point is, this was maybe my second poached egg ever.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

OK, so I didn't have the water hot enough,

I bring the water to a boil, then turn it down and swirl it before I drop in the egg.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My dad called me into the office this morning to show me a bill for my student loans. I paid the first half. He's paying the second. This is the third lecture on how much I cost. Then my mother took me to the mall. I told her they've obviously spent enough and I don't want another fucking thing from them. This was the deal my father offered me when I went to school, that we'd split the bill. Happy birthday, Al. Here's your Ed loan and a guilt trip. I told him I'd be happy to pay it back if he never rubbed it in my face again. Why did I come here?

Crash with friends, Allyson! Also, I forgot to wish you a happy birthday although it sounds like it's not. Maybe a day with the flea-family would improve things?

Trying to find a way to escape without causing a scene. Thank you for the birthday wishes. Really means a thing. Kept me from being completely ragey.

That's lame. Sorry Allyson's dad, but that's a parenting foul.

Suck it up and keep your word and quit bitching. You should have paid for the whole fucking college nut anyway.

Definitely a parenting foul! Shame on him.

I don't know if this is cheering news, but apparently they've turned that Christian Bale movie Newsies into a Broadway show. And the dancing is apparently awesome.

Thrive to spite them

Happy Birthday Allyson!

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

Oh, no, Mr. Allyson, you don't get to do that. No takebacks in the educating-your-kids game, and NOT ON HER BIRTHDAY.

If you can get out, get out, and when you can come back to where we actually wish you a happy birthday, please do so.

I don't know about that, but keep your deal! Sheesh.
