Well, I'm all packed and ready to go. I need to be at the airport around four o' clock. Am very seriously considering upgrading to first class (hey, what else are those student loan checks good for?) so I can get a hell of a lot of free drinks in me on the way to Seattle. In the end I know I won't, because I only packed two outfits, and if I blow all my money on first class plane tickets, then I won't have any money for new clothes when I land...and, more importantly, I won't have any money for gifts for my niece and my nephew.

In the immortal words of one of my own personal heroes;

"Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no! We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here! We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fucking Kaye! And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse!" - Clark W. Griswold

Remember, we all have a little Griswold in us, so take this holiday season as an opportunity to let it out, Animal House style!
