Parent number two, big check in the sleigh column. One major present to go.
And... I don't really have anything this week. So here's the TV tropes wiki, dedicated to cataloging all that is formulaic in TV (and allied disciplines). As often seen in wikis that aren't widely known yet, large numbers of the entries are nicely punchy and on point. There's the preci

So, Lyricwiki is dedicated to using the power of wiki to bring you all the online lyrics you need, without installing a Beylorussian money-laundering ring on your hard drive. (That's at lyricSwiki dot org, which you should not go to.) A desultory exploration turned up a handful of nonsensical transcription errors ("Saint defy like an old lady in church"? Try "

The conservative message appears on page two in the person of Argus Hamilton. He writes what passes for a humor column, stringing together often tasteless one-liners on a variety of issues.

So part B of the plan last night was to eat a delicious Irma's Burger Shack hamburger, possibly with mushroom and bacon.
