Damn people, my best friend got me sick on gin literally 20 years ago (egad!), and I still can't drink it. Don't even like to smell it.

I have this problem with Samoas. The Girl Scout cookie. From when I was 7. Yeah, other people have booze; I have cookies.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

My sister couldn't eat Thin Mints for 20+ years because she ate a whole box when she was 6.

And then she got bitten by a moose.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

And there was that whole business about how no one should ever get a mortgage that DID annoy me.

omg! I was SO aggravated about that, I can't even tell you.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Are you real racoons?

Okay, you got me. We're nutria.

What about 3 raccoons in a Steph suit?

Actually, I'm a broom.

Family Guy!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And then the moose didn't bite her for 20+ years.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Is it bad that I always assumed the monkey bite thing was a big joke? I figured he was actually sick with something that he didn't want to tell us about, so he made up the monkey bite story.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I used to think I disliked gin, but I eventually realized I disliked cheap gin. The top shelf stuff is nummy.

“Not dead yet!”

Only if there's juice and cookies after.

I want s'mores.

“Not dead yet!”

And a bonfire.

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

A similar thing happened to me with rum.

Whuhuh? Unpossible.

Never had a bad experience with gin. It just started out tasting bad.

Had the bad experience with Bailey's. Drank most of a bottle myself. Chased it with pretzels, which I hate, but I realised I was downing it on an empty stomach, just me and a bunch of guys. Teh nast. And then had to fake sober and responsible for my parents (I think I was 17 or so and needed to babysit little sis).
