Judge Baby Sez: Eat Yr Crabs, Dummy!
Ana's dad and brother were in town this weekend so we went to eat crabs in Annapolis. Which is awesome because she's allergic.
Sucker.
Know who isn't allergic to crabs? This kid, who has jowels that won't quit. Look how she wields the mallet gavel with such majesty!
Later she got bored and rained down all this stuff from the ether.
Dining tip: don't eat raw oysters and a bunch of crabs on an empty stomach.

Xmas Miraxles
When booking flights, it always seems like the best idea to leave early and come back late, so as to maximize the amount of vacation time. In practice, though, it's probably the worst idea ever. Working all night before having to catch a 6am flight is brutal. Especially now that I'm old. The wrinkles on my forehead? Not even a month old.
Luckily, the hotel we checked into when I got to town was underwater. Granted, the dolphins were really small, but it's great for the complexion to sleep completely submerged.
Murals are really big in San Francisco. You can't see, but at the far left there is a depiction of Jerry Garcia walking into the ether. This place is on Haight Street. Self-consciousness apparently hasn't made its way over there yet.
I was going to concoct an entire narrative for the trip, including fake events and people, but I have to be at work in an hour so that idea will have to wait. In its place are real events and people like Ana and her little brother at the corner store that sells pre-packaged cocktail-making kits for those who need a little help:
Then there's her nephew, who likes to spin around and act like a Power Ranger. Here he is utilizing his patented stay-awake method:
Ana and I had a very special vacation staring contest, which I won.
Then she posed for possibly the best portrait ever taken:
Next are two montages. First, Ana with brother and sister doing some dancing and posing:
Next is Clarissa with Ana at dinner (for those in the Bay area the restaurant is Weird Fish on Mission. Delicious). They move alot when they talk.
I bought an animatronic frog for the nephew's Christmas present. The box included some amazing slogans:
Ana learned to shapeshift:
Then we ate steak:
There was this cat that hangs out at the corner store and looked at me funny, so I gave it the what-for:
So all in all it was a pretty good holiday, obvs.
BONUSBONUSBONUS
Teeners is back!
Also, what is wrong with celebrities and why can't they laugh like regular people? Is stuff really that funny to them?

Fanksgiffing Travel Tips
We took a quick trip to Atlanta for Thanksgiving to see my family, and to eat. Which is how visiting the South works, basically.
First: drive around for 5 hours looking for a CVS or a Walgreens or some place that sells things to cure Ana's typhoid. Next, breakfast at Ria's Bluebird Cafe. (Travel tip #1: Do this.)
Next: check into brother's girlfriend's apartment, which she is lending us while she's out of town. What do we do? Contaminate it! Sorry about the typhus germs, Sarah! Ha, ha! Another dose of Airborne, please!
What's good for typhoid, you ask? Beer!
Travel tip #2: watch local news. Because you don't care about the scary parts, the feel-good stories are a source of pure comedy.
So Thanksgiving rolls around, and because consumptives can't sleep very well, the best idea is to visit Waffle House. This particular Waffle House was a "Hash-Slinging Zone," which was fine with me. They also don't like firearms. But those things don't matter, really.
What matters is that Waffle House produces delicious, delicious food. Get that shit on Texas Toast, people. It's good for you.
Later, Ana is released from quarantine long enough to do some cooking at my parent's house. Travel tip #3: do things the way she likes, or she'll yell at you.
Then eat and go visit Grandma. I'd give you a picture, but if I had tried to get my camera out she probably would've broken it. Grandma weighs about 80lbs these days, which is not cool at all. But she still rules. As if she couldn't.
And later, we go with my brother looking for a place to get a beer. We found one called "Pufferbelly's" which included this Monster® Energy Drink poster of a woman's backside with a can of Monster® Energy Drink tucked conveniently in her thong:
In short, Pufferbelly's ruled. Happy Thanksgiving.
