Why this must be read:

As I write this, it’s the night before Thanksgiving. Holidays can often be stressful, so in case you need cheering up, here’s a funny story where Cecil falls into a crevasse(?) and Carlos goes after him, gets trapped, and watches his boyfriend burst into flames.

No, seriously, this is hysterical, especially once Carlos starts arguing with himself.

I don't understand.

You understand perfectly well, said the argumentative bit of his brain, which had finally given up, detached completely, and was currently floating over his head, watching dispassionately.

Have I ever mentioned how annoying you can be? Carlos asked Floaty brain. You did this shit at Dad's funeral, critiquing the mourners' outfits and cataloging the flowers. On September 11 you earwormed me with "It's Raining Men!"

Floaty brain didn't answer.
