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

Emmet has done better at Quinceneara than I have done at most of the F2Fs.

Most. But not all.

Tom, you'll appreciate this. You know that scene in Korra where Bolin went on a noodle bender and Makko had to collect him and he was blubbeing, "You're a bad idea!"

Emmett is Bolin.

Except he's also like Finn in the "Hug Wolf" episode of Adventure Time.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Allyson, DH shares your never-tiring-of the LL Cool J.

msbelle, I've sworn Owen to a life-time of using his powers for good, not evil. I think he took me too seriously because I believe he cleared my cookies on this laptop. He's been reading about internet privacy.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Note to Mycroft Cat: No running a shadow British government from your club, at least not if you expect to get medical attention for it.

Our cat Toke lives up to her name. (Well, no actual pot-smoking occurs, as far as we know [although we might need to start videotaping her during the day while we're at work, JUST TO BE SURE], but she acts stoned, including perpetual munchies, 24/7.)

Kato -- named after the Pink Panther character, but spelled differently for some reason -- does tend to ambush us unexpectedly, but has not yet run a brothel.

AS FAR AS WE KNOW.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Emmet has done better at Quinceneara than I have done at most of the F2Fs.

Same here.

Emmett has done better at the Q than I did during my entire teenage years. No lie.

Same here.

Emmett has done as well as I have during my entire life.

At least there I've got him beat. So far.

Heh. Not I. Though it is better than I did in all my teenage years. I was not a make out bandit until my 20s.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

If I were a vet, I would have a pet name disclaimers.

There's a reason Erzabet's full name is Erzabet-No-Biting.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Loki gave birth to Slepnir, an eight-legged horse that became the mount of Odin, as well as the first of the ogres. He also fathered Fenrir, the God-devouring wolf, Jormungandr, the Earth-encircling serpent, and Hel, the Queen of the Underworld.

Sleipnir's father was the stallion Svaưilfari. So my only question now is, was Loki a human woman or a mare when this tryst/pregnancy/birth occurred? I have been laughing helplessly for a solid ten minutes about this. I'm going to Hel.

Oh, wait! I found it. He was a mare. ahahaha No, seriously, did he get stuck in the mare form for the duration? Or did he change back and walk around as a man pregnant with a foal? This just get funnier the more I think about it.

Okay, I might be a tad drunk.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You know how you're convinced you're this total dork, and then you go to intense analysis for eleven years, and then you finally start to believe you're not a dork, but then you realize that you're in late middle age, and the best years of your life have completely passed you by?

Right.

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

Right.

Wrong. The best years of your life are the ones where you don't think you're a dork.

Also, you're cute and smart and funny and take great pictures and own your own place and have skills.

It's not like you're dilapidated and deliquescent, Tom.

Emmett doesn't think he's a dork because I made the mistake of filling him up with too much self esteem.

No, they haven't, sugar. The best years are the ones where you like yourself. Youth and beauty are overrated. Anyway, you're still hot.
