Have I mentioned that I see all of the dialogue in the “Holiday Special” as being delivered in an over-the-top, jokey fashion, and that I bet there is a laugh track?

This is how I justify the sometimes subpar writing that comes as a result of my rushing, rushing, rushing like a busy little bee. And (from now on), sticking more than usually close to the source material, in all its string-of-non-escalating-semi-conflicts glory.

The albums are Big Brother and the Holding Company - Cheap Thrills, Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath, Blood Sweat & Tears - Greatest Hits, and (super-subtly, in the background, though it’s the one Lance is listening to right now), Deep Purple - Nobody’s Perfect. I don’t know why Jeria has all this guy music from the 70s (okay, the DP is a live album from ‘88, but it’s a reuniting of the 70s lineup). She was born in like ‘74. Maybe she got them from her dad.

Satan is reading a blank newspaper!
