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.

Our wings are not tired

My tax package each year is about half an inch thick, I shudder to think what H&R Block would charge.

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

I don't have relevant McDonald's experience, because I don't like their food. I last got smacked down by them in the 80s in London. And I know I fucking looked under 10 most of that time anyway.

But "10 years and younger only" isn't rare language, even if they're lax now on enforcing it.

Because books.

I kind of miss Happy Meal toys.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've gotten negged on the kiddy meal at the movie theater, which I think is bullshit.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

I kind of miss Happy Meal toys.

Come play at my desk!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Of course, to add insult to injury, I made no $$ off the sale of the house. I had to pay several thousand dollars to the mortgage company, so all the house sale forms are just so the IRS doesn't come after me for unreported nonexistent income

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

I love how people on Judge Judy always try to raise their hands while she's in the middle of a tirade. That never works out, people.

The greatest thing that's ever happened in my life (possibly an exaggeration) was when I was home sick one day, or it was a holiday or something, and I turned on one of the judge shows and I had gone to high school with the people!

That is pretty awesome.

Oh, you might appreciate this. Sara went to the Franklin Institute last week and brought home a stuffed white blood cell that she said was going to be named Plushy. We agreed P. Bloody would be even better.

(possibly an exaggeration)

I think not!
