Speaking of fruit, it's hard to get friends to come over for cocktails, since that time they caught me rinsing off my twist of lemon peel and reusing it in somebody else's drink. I tried to tell them that's how I save enough money to buy the booze in the first place, but it didn't help.

"Gaspe'" looks like a first draft for Wesley Crusher. But I would totally wear that tiger hat on a spy mission. You could fit tons of secret documents and a pearl-handled revolver and an extra pair of gloves in there, no sweat.

"Sunny" on the right looks like she's got a pronounced case of static cling. Pretty rude of the other adults to keep staring so hard.
