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.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

Alone time without lonliness is good. A couple of years ago I spent a week with no alone time except in the bathroom and I just about lost my mind. Of course, the family members I was with might have had something to do with it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I note you left out 'fold, spindle or mutilate'.

I figured you might be bendy.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I figured you might be bendy.

Should I be eyeing you suspiciously next time I see you?

Then you've come to the right place. I'm contemplating making an origami rose in a lidded box for going to the movies on Sunday.

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

Do I embrace the "you can spindle me ANYtime" or just avoid it?

I'm torn.

(though not folded or mutilated)

The pre-kiss line about the brass ring is a good one, bt (since you are here and I didn't tell you yesterday). I'm holding up a 9.6 card for you on that one.

On a totally other topic, this is so so wrong, and yet so so funny. Shock and Awe. Sometimes The Onion gets it right.
