I once had two grandmothers, from The Netherlands, who ate at McDonalds while listening to Paul Simon when I was going through puberty. They had stuff too! SOmetimes they gave me stuff. And the doctor says my nose wouldn’t bleed as much if I stopped picking it! ---

That’s amazing, because this one time I went to a McDonalds next to a movie theater playing the re-release of _The Exorcist_, and I met these two guys named Paul and Simon whose grandmother had just taken a trip to the Netherlands! And they were wearing Ottowa Senators jerseys! ---
