We understand the gift, we just don't like it. That's the difference.

How could you be boring when you do things like fall off chairs and swear at the fog?

[heyunderoos]

Is it even a gift if its something forced on you?

I guess when you put it that way, I can't be boring, lol. One of those is a lot cooler than the other.

[sciencesquid]

The best comparison I can draw is when a cat brings their owner a dead mouse. It's given with all the best, heartfelt intent, but it isn't welcome at all.

Or I could compare it to the colleague I once had who would give me a jar of homemade, experimental jam for Christmas each year. It always tasted dreadful, but he was convinced the flavor combination was revolutionary.

That's the spirit. But please don't use the F word next time you cuss out the fog, or she'll give us even more unwanted gifts.

[heyunderoos]

Honestly not sure which of those comparisons are worse, because they both fit a bit too well.

Otto, I feel like the fog has heard way worse than 'fuck' from people before. I mean, how long has she been doing this by now?

Two teenagers yelling at her probably barely registered.

Alright, let me rephrase that.

For MY sake, please don't use the F word when you cuss out the fog again. And for Santa, just in case a potty mouth impacts your presents.

[heyunderoos]

I'll keep that in mind, but I don't think she's going to notice I exist unless I try to put her in a cube again.

Otto, living with you has been the only time I've really celebrated Christmas. I don't think Santa knows I exist either.

[sciencesquid]

[HMMMM. Did he mess up by specifically honing in on Santa? It's hard for him to say. He'll course correct just in case.]

I think that whoever it is who will ensure you get presents this December knows you exist, Peter. Be it a big cat or a big, jolly fellow. 8)

[Now he has the urge to say 'fuck the fog god' more than ever. Thanks, Otto.]

You know I could make so many jokes about you holding gifts ransom over me not swearing at a god.

But, fair enough.
