Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Spicy brains rental request.

I need a good idea quick. One that involves science and funny.

Where else would I ask?

Here's the setup. Best buddy's husband's birthday party in November. I printed out a parody of ROTK and took a bunch of props to the restaurant and got the unacquainted guests to read it aloud.

Huge success.

Today is best buddy's birthday and I have no clue what to do that could top the above.

She's a journalist turned science writer. Got an A in chemistry and an A in physics this year. Taught at Hopkins on Fellowship. Plays Ultimate. Etc.

I searched for chemistry and science jokes for attendees to recite but couldn't find any that anyone but the birthday girl would understand at all. (which could significantly decrease the fun for the readers)

I'm rarely at a loss for a silly idea but today? Bupkis!

::affecting The Fly (original) ending voice::

Heeelp Meeee

Please!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I was just gonna pimp Burt's Bees Mulberry some, because it is awesome. It's a red. I find myself wearing it pretty much all the time.

It's a red that I can wear, which puts it in a special class.

Also, unlike those other reds I can wear, doesn't make my lips go dry.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

"HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE?! TELL ME! TELL ME NOW!"

So, Jack Bauer, then?

An excellent choice.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Plei, you and Jilli are responsible for me finally ordering samples from Aromaleigh. Am now tapping foot impatiently, waiting for UPS.

(Though I did get wine delivered here today, which is cool.)

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I love Burt's Bees stuff. Luckily, I can find it in a lot of places around here. Thanks for the suggestion.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

LotM contains one of my favorite movie sex scenes

As phrased by a reviewer at the time: "Michael Mann rewards them with sex." GAH. And it's totally non-graphic. Plus, the music. (Back to bunk.)

It was all location shooting, in North Carolina. And they lost half the crew when it ran long, and DDL did Madeleine Stowe's makeup.

Beej -

How about parodies of "The Day After Tomorrow" (wrong science-y goodness). Or "Independence Day". Or...any Devlin/Emmerich film, really.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I actually bought it because you recommended it, Plei. I thought it was orangey when I tested it on the back of my hand, but on my face, perfect.

The Eggplant I got to wear with all my purple clothes (of which I have a lot) looks weird. Might be just too different from my natural color, I'm not sure.

Yay!

I am sort of wondering if there's some sort of "thou shalt/shant" fiat in place for lipstick shades this season.

I always think you should find the lipstick shades you like, and ignore any nonsense about makeup trends and seasonal colors. If plum lipstick looks good on you, wear it.

Signed, wears Vamp lipstick year-round.

MM- That's IT.

God help her, she actually LIKED The Day After Tomorrow.

To the Internet!
