5 Second rule, -t! Speaking as someone, who, once caught the cat licking the half-thawed Xmas turkey, shooed him away, and told no-one else.
Anyone else have traditional Thanksgiving episodes that are awesome?
WKRP Turkey Drop.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh -t, I'm glad dinner wasn't ruined.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's very Julia Child of you, Sue.
New Year in a new house, Perkins! So exciting!

It was WAY less gross than the time I found him licking our toothbrushes. That cat had a thing for mint!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
My niece wants Chuck Taylors for Christmas. Has anyone ever ordered custom Chucks? How long do they take to get?

Oh my GOD--that deer video! Hysterical, but also pretty dangerous--those horns and hooves can hurt you.
But I loved the way the videographer kept laughing.
I'm spending Black Friday at my parents' house, sorting pills. They have a pharmacy's worth of OTC and mail-order drugs in that place, stashed all over. So we're going to consolidate & inventory and possible dump a bunch of them. Not that it will stay organized...
I have run and had some breakfast and a cup of tea. In a few minutes I will drag myself off the couch and go up to my sister's place to make the stuffing and start prepping the turkey.

Conspiracy theorists are the sort that think sending a petition to the White House about aliens means anything, and then will immediate write off the response to the petition anyway, even though it might have been their petition in the first place.
My take is that conspiracy theorists take contradictory evidence as just more evidence of the conspiracy: they will not in fact evaluate contradictory claims on their own merit. You end up with conspiracies on top of conspiracies--turtles all the way down.
A true skeptic doesn't assume a conspiracy, and is willing to consider contradictory evidence.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Conspiracy theorists, IMO, are looking for conspiracies. Skeptics are looking for the truth.
And, boy, would a conspiracy theorist ever think I was biased! But my escape is tied in--if you are looking for the truth, then you're on the other team. It's a choice to identify.
