Agreed. Why is it Thorin Klosowski’s friends’ responsibility to feed him when he’s hangry? Is he a toddler? Can’t he do this for himself?

If one of my friends gave me such a user guide I’d hand it right back to him. You be responsible for you. I’ll be responsible for me. Asking me to take responsibility for your moods…

Less “other half” than “1%”.

On the other hand cutting a Picasso in two almost always improves it.

Dear lord. Prison looks good by comparison.

OMG is Patsy wearing a Snuggie in that photo?
(Guess I need to re-watch/marathon.)

Thank you for the recommendation! It inspired me to buy a Snuggie for my toddler. She wants to wear a blanket everyday in place of clothes, and will not be reasoned with that clothes are just blankets for wearing.

Aye, as it ‘appens!

Ha! I was thinking, “Well now, that’s a very Yorkshire thing to say to the nuns and very Yorkshire to be proud of saying it”. And then you went and added the context of 1950s Yorkshire!
