Recent arrival here. I'm looking for information - apart from that which the government has so kindly provided [sarcasm ftw] - about this upcoming Swear-In Ceremony. What does it entail and how much coercion is involved? The unofficial version, in other words.

Also, a decent Indian restaurant. [If there is such a thing in this backwater.]

Yes, I'll bet you are.

[itistolaugh]

And it's no use asking me now. You missed your chance!

[exceptionalthief]

Oh dear. Well I'll just have to muddle on, won't I?

[itistolaugh]

Don't know how you'll manage.
Hey you don't happen to have any Cranes in your family do you?

[exceptionalthief]

No, my family tree does not boast any long-necked birds.

[itistolaugh]

Crane as a last name, not the bird. Don't be such a dick about it.

[exceptionalthief]

Forgive me, I couldn't resist.

you two are definitely related
