What do I get Frank?  What does Frank deserve?  Did Frank give me anything last year?  Does it matter?  Am I under some kind of social contract with Frank that excludes me from just ignoring that cheapskate altogether?  How about a card?  A gift card?  Does Frank have the base intelligence to even use a gift card?  And what kind of card?  Denny&#8217;s?  Amazon?  Bed, Bath &#038; Boner-pills?  Wait, will these companies even ship to where Frank lives?  How much do I want to spend on this asshole?  Are we even still related?  When was the last time we even talked on the phone?  If I died, would Frank even show up at the memorial service?  If he did, would he speak?  What would he say?  &#8220;Hi, I&#8217;m Frank, and I really didn&#8217;t know the deceased all that well, but they never forgot a holiday.  Crappy taste in presents though.&#8221;  Ah fuck you, Frank.  You get nothing now based on that entirely made up scenario.  Who&#8217;s next, Mom?  She&#8217;s so old she won&#8217;t even be around for my funeral.  Well, fuck her then too.  Hey, this is working out.
