How can I say no? HOW CAN I SAY NO?? I will be there. I will consume the fire of our enemies with my god powers and snuff out the light of the just with my entaloned foot. I will be charming. I will not say certain things. I will try to take up as little space as possible. I will hold the air in my lungs for the entire time I am there.

I will not cry. I will not participate in witticisms. I will not erupt into sparks. I will not drive anyone to the bus stop.

I will bring slender-fingered ladies with light blue slippers. I will bring potato salad in a burlap sack. I will bring forty box springs and 200 cans of WD-40. I will bring three chain letters and thirty chickens.

I will be there
