Well, the UPS helper job doesn't guarantee hours of a certain amount per week or anything... but I do have an orientation to go to, and they start actually using you after Thanksgiving, so I may have a busy month+ coming up.
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.

Apropos of nothing, thieves stole a circus van which, unbeknownst to them, contained a lion.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is interesting:
Hi, I'm Marty, and I'm a recovering Republican
I was a feminazi-hating, liberal-bashing loudmouth who tried to befriend Bill O'Reilly. Man, I was such a douche

I should have seen the danger of sealing myself in an echo chamber to prevent contamination from outside viewpoints; I began only hanging out with conservative true believers, only reading conservative books, only getting my news from conservative media outlets. In order to avoid journalistic "left-wing bias," I embraced right-wing bias, foolishly confusing sensationalist entertainment with debate and truth-telling. Outrage became my drug of choice.

They really crossed a lion with that theft.

Better them than the deer. Though I guess it's too much to hope for the same outcome? Okay, not the same, but they should walk away with some scars at least.

My brain hurts. I need to haul off the couch and get to the pool. But no point getting there before 6:30. Mob swim until then.

Except shit - he's all about that forgiveness crap. Damn. Surely he'd make an exception? I mean, right? It's not like they'll repent.
Your honor, my understanding is that Jesus is only required to forgive if the person in question is sorry for their sins. I submit that they are not sorry, and therefore there is no requirement for forgiveness.

Siegfried & Roy had a van full of tigers stolen many years ago, and they went on all the media begging the thieves not to hurt the cats. The van was eventually recovered in an ally after an anonymous call to the police.

But Jesus asked God to forgive those who crucified him, even though, "They know not what they do."

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
Jesus is allowed to go above and beyond his obligation I guess.
