heredditary
Claiming dat your frequent and/or lengthy perusing of and/or posting on internet message-boards is because "it's heredditary" is an invalid defense in two ways --- first of all, just because an older family-member has engaged in an unhealthy practice does not in any way excuse YOU for doing da same --- each of us has an obligation to behave responsibly around our fellow humans as best we reasonably can, regardless of what those who came before us have chosen to do. And then secondly, if you are indeed aware of your senior relative's unwise actions to such a degree dat you can actually verbalize coherently about it, then --- again --- you have da "respect for your fellow man" duty to actively take whatever appropriate steps that are logically within your physical/mental/intellectual capabilities to perform better yourself --- in da words of wise men everywhere, “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

seekquel
A "further adventures of" narrative regarding subsequent ferreting out of objects and/or clues, researching for da truth, etc.
waiting with baited breath
What a cat does by eating cheese and then hiding silently near a mouse-hole for a furry varmint to come out looking for da source of da delicious aroma.
Garfield is shown to easily catch multiple mice --- i.e., one underneath each foot --- without even trying very hard, and so it's possible dat he was "waiting with baited breath", and so da mice just flocked to him. Or of course, it could also merely be dat said speedy specimens of omnivorous opportunity have learned by now dat said tubby tabby never actually eats da mice he catches or otherwise harms them in any way, and so they are less watchful 'n' wary around Jon's house than they might be in other people's domiciles where da resident felines actually may hunt said rodents for real.

leithargic
If I were da owner of one of da largest rototiller manufacturers in da U.S., I imagine dat I would feel a bit "leithargic" by 5 p.m., as well, after chairing countless board meetings and reading and/or signing dozens of corporate documents all day!

papyruscy
Seeing as how it's been so long since da ancient scrolls of Rome, Greece, and Egypt were originally penned, any associated copyrights have probably long since expired, and thus da content of said vintage texts has likely passed into da public domain; I would therefore imagine dat nowadays you would be free to quote from these antique writings all you want without fear of being sued for papyruscy.
No post-chugging chugging
No post-chugging chugging, unless someone else is behind da wheel --- i.e., you either have a friend/relative give you a ride home, or take a cab, bus, or other form of public transportation when you leave da pub.
