Dear God, What Is That Thing!? (Welcome Home)

Westley: To the pain means the first thing you will lose will be your feet below the ankles. Then your hands at the wrists. Next your nose.

Prince Humperdinck: And then my tongue I suppose. I killed you too quickly the last time, a mistake I don't mean to duplicate tonight.

My first night back, I heard our dog Mango (whom I missed terribly) jump down from the couch around 4am. There was something funny about the sound of her movement, which in the middle of the night usually indicates that she's throwing up.

No fucking idea what it was. It was possibly the grossest thing I've ever seen, and keep in mind that I just drove across Wyoming's roadkill-smeared highways.

It's good to be home.
