Haha, Scrappy, that's awesome. Our house has already devolved into chaos as the kids could wait no longer and were permitted to open one gift each, the ones from us, which was the paper airplane book. Aerial carnage has ensued. However, it appears that we will be permitted to continue to dinnertime without any additional whining, so I think it's a win.
Oh, no, oh, no! Spontaneous poetic exclamations. Lord, spare me college boys in love.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Scrappy wins!
Dana, your dog wants something stinky. That's all dogs want.
And a leg to hump.
It seemed wrong to relegate Winchesters to one line.
The important thing is you ruined the 10th day of Christmas. Thank you so very much, Amy!
EM dropped three bills on seafood and wine for xmas dinner! We were trying to figure out how to bag the big fruit tart and the clerk said, "Well, we do have these special reusable bags for pies. You could buy one of those."
And EM replied exactly like the New Yorker that she is: "How about you give me the bag for free after I just spent so much money here?"
He went and asked the manager and she got her free bag.
Everybody's in a pretty good mood so far.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It seemed wrong to relegate Winchesters to one line.
I can't argue against that point.
My mother just cleared her hand on a triple. It's Christmas time.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The dog's latest move -- she was standing next to me on the couch, then jumped on my chest and settled down. She heaved a sigh and went to sleep. (Note: she is five pounds.)
Lethal cuteness score: dog wins everything.

I realized moments ago that I think I need booze to cope with my mother this holiday, and my sister may not have any. And I get in at 10:30pm, and surely stores will be closed/not allowed to sell. Oh no!! I just texted her to check. I really wanted to bring the marshmallow vodka, but didn't have a three ounce liquid holder available.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Hey P-C! Your Vishnu Claus monologue has magically conjured up a cartoon [link]
Haaa ha ha, that is amazing. My sister is going to love that. She's in India RIGHT NOW.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
We are drinking, snacking, and watching a DVD of The Snowman that my dad gave to my mom for Hanukkah last night. Later we will read the rest of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" and a variety of other Christmas books. We generally end with "A Child's Christmas in Wales" and then pick up again with "The Christmas Day Kitten" or somesuch on Christmas Day.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Oh, phoo. That's Koch Brothers toilet paper.
You know, as much as I want to wipe my ass with the Koch Brothers, I will not allow them to profit from it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
What dogs want.
So true. I will note, many of those were stinky.
