Cool. So in addition to my sister in law's family all running 103 fevers, my mother-in-law, who we're staying with and was going to do the hosting instead, has tested positive for Covid.

I'm now definitely not seeing my own family on Christmas Eve and kinda just want to pack up and say gently caress it and have Christmas at home just the three of us but my wife wants to stay here since we're already down, which, I dunno why since it's not like we can do much of anything?

I remember working at walgreens in high school and we had no like Black Friday doorbusters worth thinking about and still had stupid crowds on black friday.

The roster cuts were my favorite part of Breaking Madden and I remember Bois's story of when he worked at Radioshack and they had like 10 employees for black friday, and over the course of the first six hours maybe two people came in

Oh there's nothing about getting handsy with staff, it's just for a long time he was saying it was all a myth, and now he's come around to "Maybe I did, but I was too drunk to keep count, and binge drinking like that is dangerous."

It's also the fact that he apparently can't go a day without being asked about it, which while its probably novel the first few times every day for years on end you'd probably get a bit tired of your entire life being based around your prowess drinking bored on a plane. The guy was a drat good cricketer, a really good selector and has been apart of the game at the grass roots level for decades.

‘Sorry to hear nervous. My BIL OD’d the day after Christmas 2 years ago.

Was in the mountains of Colorado skiing with the family for the past week and picked up a bug or got food poisoning. We drove and arrived home yesterday afternoon and since around 3 this morning it’s been liquid in, liquid out, a fever, migraine and general aches all over. Really lovely timing.

Trip report: spent the last 4 hours packing/driving/unloading the car.

Yeah we were already there for 24 hours when she tested. Thankfully it didn't take long to convince my wife we should head home. I think she was just super disappointed at the thought at first.

I pointed out to her that most of her family was sick and probably wouldn't be able to host a get together in a couple of days. And we couldn't stay with my folks because my parents have no room and my father's health is not good, so we'd be seeing exactly nobody on Christmas or Christmas Eve and there was no point in hanging around. Packing and driving would've sucked if we were all showing symptoms after Christmas too.

:sigh:

Well, I probably have enough in the house to make a decent Christmas dinner for us at least.

I think what makes it really hit is the mix and match of actual dialogue from the original book, and the Muppet parts, and how they combine.

Gonzo: Actual text from the book
Rizzo: is Rizzo
Gonzo: 4TH WALLS? I DON'T CARE now back to actual text from the book

Michael Caine and Kermit: straight from the book unless singing

Even if you're already there it's probably worth it to still go home and self quarantine through Christmas. You might get lucky and not have it yet, do home tests on the 26th.
