That is amazing! I am aware of huitlacoche, but had no idea that's what it is. Yikes.
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Political quote of the day:
A new Public Policy Polling survey shows finds that 49% of Republican voters nationally say they think that ACORN stole the election for President Obama, as compared to 52% that thought ACORN stole the 2008 election, "a modest decline, but perhaps smaller than might have been expected given that ACORN doesn't exist anymore."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh come on. Obama employs time travel to send ACORN agents from 2008 to 2012. The same way he traveled back to 1961 to plant his "birth announcement" in the Honolulu paper.

Fortunately, the American citizenry has a plan to take on this kind of lawlessness. A total of 2,972 signatures were secured for a White House petition to "Establish new legal system of motorcycle riding "judges" who serve as police, judge, jury, and executioner all in one". The petition was thus more than twice as popular as the one exhorting the White House to "Secure resources and funding, and begin construction of a Death Star by 2016".

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
In our defense, no one told us the Death Star would be filled with cherries.

Also, since the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise was retired last Saturday, that means we're going to build a new Enterprise, to be one of the new Ford -class Battlestars.

I vote for a cherry-filled Death Star! YES.
I like Pink Lady apples, and honeycrisps, especially when they aren't the ginormo 2-lbs per apple ones.
I'm from Indiana, so I am a total snob about fresh corn and how good it should be.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I am dealing with people who have a TALENT for long-term miscommunication.
I'm trying to communicate about a budget. They ask: tell us what you need in terms of expenditures. I give them a list of expenditures based on my estimate of what I spent last year.
Mind you, they keep all the records of what I spent last year. Their records are what I use to do my estimates.
So in September I gave this list. Heard nothing.
In December, I get another email: how much $$ should we send?
No acknowledgment of previous email or what questions they had in light of it. It's like I sent the email into a vacuum.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Those people get a forward of the original email with the old time/date stamp and an intro note of, "As I previously provided.....".
Off to therapy with mac. whheeee!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, I just had a "Oh, that discrepancy was because of the other guy." No, that discrepancy was you, a month after we fired the other guy. Not only is it in OUR emails, it's in this ticket you marked complete...
I just tested and passed something in QA that she then went again and did from scratch in production, so my tests didn't really count. She had 5 items to add, all added perfectly in QA, but she didn't add all five in prod two days later.
Her defense wasn't just blaming it on the other guy--the systems she was saying were different were cloned from each other two months ago with her as development lead. She did half the cloning heavy lifting. For her to turn around and say "Oh, legacy discrepancies..." means she's not even remotely paying attention.
