One surmises.

4. Reminds me of relatives who just show up at your door uninvited.

You haven't seen them in 10 years and you would really prefer not to see them. But they are here anyway and expect you to be polite and accommodating.

Let the dog out, the snarly one.

5. They should put up signs that say...

Welcome to Iceland

6. MSNBC reporting that JD is now on the trip.
