Hand pies!!!
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I am thinking I should find out where John Boehner lives - I'm guessing it's some gated community in the deep suburbs - and go stand in front of his house with torches and pitchforks. You're with me, right, Teppy?
I've been thinking that if enough of us surround the Capitol with pitchforks and torches and don't allow any food inside they'll either work it out quickly or go Lord of the Flies on each other. Either way could be a win.

Mmm, pie.
That's really all I got.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've heard that people should withdraw enough cash to last awhile in the event of a debt default. Some people fear the banking system might freeze up, which nearly happened back in '08.

Rumor has it (OK, Twitter) that the House GOP are about to cave on the shutdown. Dunno if it's true.
Anne, the Maple-Walnut pie:
Combine:
3 large room-temperature eggs
1/3 cup light brown sugar
2 tsp flour
pinch salt
Beat in:
1 cup maple syrup (I like grade B)
2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
Stir in:
1 1/3 cup fresh walnuts (or pecans), coarsely chopped
5 Tbsp melted butter, cooled
Pour mixture into a pie shell. Bake at 425F for 10 minutes, reduce to 325F, bake for another 30 or until set.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I've heard that people should withdraw enough cash to last awhile in the event of a debt default. Some people fear the banking system might freeze up, which nearly happened back in '08.
I'm not comfortable having that much cash lying around.
Yeah, I can't believe they'd let it get bad enough to hurt themselves. Unless they're stupid...
