Es scheint, als hätte die kollektive Blödigkeit endgültig gewonnen und der spießigen Vernunft lachend die Beine weggetreten.

And then we ate an array of finger sandwiches and deviled eggs and miniature beef wellingtons that cost more than my first car. My point is, Grant is gone. And so are all his many, many deep, dark secrets which I never really ever bothered to ask him about. He is never coming back.
