For that price, I'm tempted to get it, just so I can yell "RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!" whenever I make a mixed drink.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Our wings are not tired.
Tom, I am in awe of you. Despite being raised by two people who were hurtful, selfish, and mean - YOU are none of those things. You are a joy and a love.
So very true! I'm sorry the day was so disappointing. I think you should consider a visit to Florida next Thanksgiving. Just sayin'.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Holy crap. I literally kept thinking I had seen the craziest one, and then I kept scrolling! People, man.

Tom, my aunt always said my Mom remembered the past with rose-colored binoculars, very selective memory about only the good bits. Compartmentalizing may be how she could survive in one piece.
Anyway, good on ya.

Tom, my dad was....at least darn close to the line of emotionally abusive, frequently, growing up, and occasionally verging on physical. Often I was seriously upset not about how he treated me (I was generally the "good kid" who stayed out of trouble) but about how he wailed on my brother, who was more of a troublemaker as a kid (though only by my family's standards, not so much ordinary). And yet, my brother claims it wasn't that bad and he doesn't remember it like that. Maybe because I was older. Maybe because my dad did mellow a lot by the time my brother was in high school. But my brother doesn't seem to understand why I'm not tight with our father. ...that said, my brother also moved to Europe. So.
Everybody in a family experiences it differently. Doesn't mean yours isn't right, or they're lying. But sometimes we remember what we want, and sometimes we can't forget what we'd like to.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Larry Hagman's dead!
But he was just in the middle of filming Dallas! He was looking good!
Whoa...

Tom,
I agree with the crowd, you really did a great job speaking up for yourself and being direct.
I'm sorry for the shitty Thanksgiving.

Whoa...
I'm so sad about this. I was loving the rebooted Dallas, but mostly because of Larry Hagman. I'm sure the show won't be the same without him.
