want to feel old? take the serum you found in the potion master’s laboratory

my lips curl into an improbable rictus upon noticing that the check's total comes out to $69, a reference to the esoteric sex act

Read this -- it's great -- and wear nose plugs when you do. It's embarrassing when you laugh and substances fly out.
