Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I love the summation:

"There's no bad dog like there's no bad man; it's all about how they're trained."

So no need to worry, Allyson. Tim can be broken.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

I thought the summation was great, too.

I want to know how this woman went about conducting her experiments during her 120 dates. Did she have any sort of criteria at all, other than that they had a dog? Did she take a notebook with her on the date? Did she sleep with all 120 of them, for the sake of science? Or did she just like the beagle guys? So very many questions.

Sorry, Allyson. If it's any consolation, I still like you. But I was giggling too much to not share with the class.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Tim can be broken.

Okay, you go do that and don't tell me anything about it.

Dude. This is the internet. Of course we share.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Happy Birthday, Kristen!

"There's no bad dog like there's no bad man; it's all about how they're trained."

A friend of mine who's married to a professional dog trainer has often remarked that he suspects his wife of having that same philosophy.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Happy birthday, Kristen!

The Wonderfalls cover art made me laugh out loud. "The Complete Viewer Collection." Rock.

Um.

Happy birthday to one of those who makes me laugh on a regular basis.

Yes, that would be Kristen.
