I like to characterize a true visit home as having satisfied two separate criteria - Abuse and Chewing Off of the Ass

The Abuse can just be the constant picking and pestering of my brothers or my Dad's wonderfully down-trodding speeches.

The Chewing Off of the Ass is reserved entirely for Dad; it could be one of the above speeches (two different speeches are needed; no double-dipping on these requirements), a blown-out-of-proportion problem, or some such retarded thing designed to humiliate me into fitting his mold.  Humiliation, yes.  Fitting into mold, no chance in hell.

So, as of breakfast yesterday morning, this has been a true visit home.   I can't wait to get back to Tech.
