Many people here WAY overuse the quote function

By god I never saw that coming.

Teela started it.

It is important when reading the words, "I am standing here beside myself," to think it in Apu's accent.

Don't just process the words - mentally add the Punjabi accent.



I am standing here beside myself.



Makes all the difference in the world.

Wally you need a title

Teela started it.

As usual. However, Wally might get his wish: I'm going to touch him in his very special place. I'm going to knee him in his no-nos.

I would have quoted Teela, but I won't out of respect of Muddy.

I also get very, very grumpy at Christmas time. Not as bad as I used to before I had children, but I still get grumpy.

 

[Teela]

For the last few years, I've just started to despise the holidays. I refuse to journey north, so I sit at home with a turkey lean cuisine and wonder why in the hell they don't deliver Chinese food to my address, especially on Christmas.

Apu is from Bangalore of Tamil descent.

McB, I used to be over the top about Christmas. As I've gotten older, a few things have happened: I don't have children and I usually spend Christmas alone, stressed or disappointed. When I was dating someone that had children, I loved Christmas. There are just too many surreal expectations, including expectations from family members and friends. I firmly believe in the SPIRIT of Christmas, but I'm also very realistic about what the holidays entail for me.

Wanna adopt a puppy together and spend Christmas at the Golden Coral?

True story: I was invited to Golden Corral for Thanksgiving last year for a "Singles Thanksgiving." I hate Golden Corral, but agreed to go. The guy that was organizing the trip was basically using it as a way to determine which girl he would rather date. I was coming back from Atlanta and he made some really inappropriate comments to me and I opted out. I really did sit at home with a turkey dinner microwave meal.

I had considered getting another dog. Truth is, I don't know that I could handle another one. Reese is about all that I can handle and she is the easiest dog in the world.

 

[Saulty]

We always eat at other people's houses on Thanksgiving.
