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.

Matilda will be happy to know that on more than one occasion he has called his grandma "Powai Bear".

Heh. She actually had a nightmare about polar bears last night.

Ow. How do I get a blister between my toes when there was nothing there but my toes?! I get the blisters on the bottom of my foot (I literally have a blister on top of a blister!) from sandals that have not been agreeing with me, but this one? WTF body?

I am anxiously awaiting SYTYCD being over so I can go read what everyone wrote in NonFic thread. :)

When we were camping we decided the raccoons were in a gang. there was a least one beat down that went on . they made the little one pull potato chips off the bottom shelf of the food locker . and our tent neighbors had one unzip their tent and pull out a bag of garbage

Raccoons are like cats with hands, cats with hands that work in teams.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yes, three people forwarded me that article. Very helpful.

My uncle and family went to Yellowstone last week, and none of them died.

See? P-C provides the anecdata!

Seriously, millions of people go to Yellowstone, and hardly anyone ever dies. It's probably safer than driving.

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

What if there's driving involved in going to Yellowstone?

Raccoons are like cats with hands, cats with hands that work in teams.

Yes. This is why they are scary scary. When I worked at a camp in high school in the summer, the raccoons had figured out how to open the windows in the main cafeteria building. It was creepy.
