Thank you, I needed to hear that.

All you old-timer Jezzies be jealous, because I am seeing Lindy on Wednesday night.

Invisible minority.

Once you realize that Spacey stole his accent from Foghorn Leghorn, you can never un-hear it. “I say, I say.”

OMFG you will love it so much and then come back and we’ll talk about how our lives have changed. (Says the person who watched from orchestra seats in April through sheer luck and her entire tax return check.)

Cholula is great, but get yourself some Secret Aardvark hot sauce. It’ll change your life.

Me too, no-top-sheet sister. Plus, if you aren’t buying top sheets you can go big luxury on your fitted sheet and pillowcases. 700+ thread count? Yes, thanks.

You're so cultured.

AKA a snap.

I think you mean Spiderman Too: 2 Many Spidermen.

Extended family does not have to be Indian. Who do you think will have a better chance of…

Exactly. The Choctaws don’t recognize tribal affiliation by blood quantum, so her blood quantum is entirely irrelevant. But it would be irrelevant anyway. Imagine if she were a U.S.-born child who also had Italian citizenship through a grandparent (true thing) who was in the U.S. foster system. We wouldn’t turn to…

Masculinity is so freakin’ fragile.

Can I wait to die for another few weeks? Because I do have tickets, to a Monday night show, and I really want to see it before I die.

Hey, can I take a sacred story of your people and use it in my book, except I’m going to say that the story was a totally fake rumor told by some of your people to trick other of your people. ‘Kay?

No, she only has to take anti-rejection drugs until she has the uterus removed, after one or two pregnancies. Let’s assume that she’s considered whether this is right for her and her family, since she’s a grown ass woman and all.
