Hippo Birdie, **swampy**! I’ve decided to hack into my daughter’s online cookbook and whup up a batch of N.O.T. Tot casserole.

Could someone be kind enough to point me in the direction of the beer coolers?

Also: SURPRISE!!!

Three batches, actually. Regulah; chicken for anyone who wants to keep kosher (made with Mocha Mix which is non-dairy, so it’s A-OK); and tofu, in case a bunch of vegans show up. Seriously, it’s delicious enough that nobody should ought to miss it.

My suggestion from last time worked well so I’ll stick with that and add a saddle and a tub of CoolWhip.

Should I make some inappropriate balloon animals, or should I wait until later in the evening?

Burp. I like beer, and I like swampy, but don’t tell him I like the beer just as much.
