Moreover, you can now use Bert's credit card for food and other stuff, because angels have taps to the Inexhaustable Liquor Supplies of Asgard. And that reminds me -- those folks from Valhalla are dropping by to help celebrate the New Year. They'll be here any minute. Most of them have even bathed.
