Also, you probably don't have to run for office to get involved in local government. Where I live, at least, there are a ton of commissions and boards and stuff.
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Our wings are not tired.
Mmmmm, cookies.
So, I am listening to the audio feed of the court hearing. I shouldn't, but spicy brains.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I don't think we've had Girl Scout cookies in the house in a while. Too much temptation, I guess. I have eaten GS cookies recently, just not in my house.

No, they were tagalongs and samoas. The thin mints were fine. The tagalongs tasted waxy.

Current office argument: How many continents are there, really, and how are they defined? Ocean-separation vs. tectonic plates vs. what we were taught in school.
I really like my co-workers.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Samoas are my favorite. They are like candy.

Samoas are my favorite. They are like candy.
I'm not a fan of coconut, so I don't love Samoas. Tagalongs on the other hand, are like unto crack for me. I'm not sure if meara's review means I will avoid them to avoid heartbreak, or rush out and pick some up, y'know, for testing, and like, quality control.

Trefoils. My one true cookie that's not a macaroon or a perfect chocolate chip cookie. But the one true chocolate chip cookie is warm and gooey, so it's hard to get.

Thrive to spite them
I like Samoas but honestly the Keebler version is probably better (and cheaper)
