Christmas dinner at the bunker yesterday was sumptuous! The kippered antelope was amazing. And everyone got plushed to the scuppers! Surprise appearances by Booker T. Bodenheim and David Newmangarden!
Avatar 12/26 8:36am
Lolabelle Pancake:

Booker T. Bodenheim—or "BTB," as they call him—is the black black sheep of the Bodenheim family.

Lolabelle Pancake:

The pen & ink drawing is entitled "Saturday Nite at Louie's," by Courtney's old friend Norman Pettingill. Courtney is somewhere in that pile of human debris at the bottom; he was royally sozzled on a 120 proof snake venom derivative at the time.

The OC has been through so very very many supposedly (but, never really) "new" years that he long ago came to the actually kind of obvious realization that one more just doesn't come to anything, in percentage terms.
