This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, I actually like pate more than I would have thought, so maybe potted meat that's NOT from the dollar store like the kind I saw most recently would be something I would like.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm suddenly craving vienna sausages.

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

I haven't had Vienna sausages in forever, so I thought I'd google. I'm just not feeling it, although I have been off most sausages unless grilled to within an inch of their former lives. I don't know why that is. Maybe nitrites.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Potted or deviled meat has an unfortunate paste-like texture and way too much salt. Like cheap bologna, it's a way to use up otherwise difficult-to-sell parts such as hearts and lights (lungs).

Thankfully, my father was a sardines-and-crackers person.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The best part of Vienna sausages is the gelatin they're packed in. They're nice to have around for emergencies because you don't need a can opener to get to them, or utensils, or heat.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Lack of Vienna sausage emergency?

That's probably when they are most effective.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

They just did the rock throwing story on the CBS Evening News. The story is even more ridiculous than what was reported by the AP. They made the little girl wear a home confinement thing on her ankle for a month. And the mayor of Fresno is frelling Alan Autry, who played Bubba on In the Heat of the Night.

Apparently, the police also called in helicopters to help subdue her. Maybe she's a potential.

Now tagless for your comfort.

The choices were: get elected; win the lottery; seize power. Chris answered, "Seize Power--that's right, right Mommy."

He was really paying attention last November, wasn't he? I loves me some Chris. Kid's smarter than a lot of adults I know.

I gave Owen some vienna sausage-like things that they make for toddlers. He hated them. He prefers shaved, smoked, honey maple ham. We tend to not do potted meat products at our house, but I grew up in the presence of both vienna sausages AND spam (or Treat, whichever was on sale).
