Am I the pervy uncle in this analogy?
Are you and ogged going to get back together?

He says the thing's cursed but don't you believe it! If anything's cursed around here it's your Pater's rum punch." [Puts dusty pith helmet on delighted toddler.]
I shouldn't link from work, but google image search Bea Arthur portrait
What's so bad about Bea Arthur in the Marine Corp?
My grandmother loved Maude, and felt deeply betrayed by Bea Arthur's part in Golden Girls.
