Tanqueray Ten
“I left and was accosted by three young Russians looking for a liquor store (for rum). I hurried them to our corner wine store, only to find it closed. So I invited them over, to see what we had.

“Gaa. People always think that weddings are supposed to be so happy.”
– Tristan, giving suggestions for CR&my ceremony music, including a funeral march
11:45pm PST (after 14 hours at work)/2:45am EST...
