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.

Went through the slideshow of shoes, and I could see myself in about three to four of them. I guess I may be a girl after all. But no flats and no feathers.

I can't even.

You all are not talking enough to keep me occupied. If I end up doing my laundry, let it be on your heads.

Sorry, I was making my lunch. A nice chicken with lettuce and feta cheese sandwich and beef noodle soup. I got distracted. Please don't do laundry, or well, if you started, I have a couple of loads of dark that could go ...

So, Cindy, did you see the clip yesterday in which Condoleezza Rice said that we were justified in attacking Iraq because Saddam Hussein had "cavorted with terrorists"?

No, Ginger. I don't watch reality shows.

Mean! It was the Daily Show. There was merriment!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just love the picture in my head of Saddam and the terrorists, cavorting.

I just wish I could remember the exact wording of Jon Stewart's definition for it.

What is even happening?

After all the time in the hole, I wouldn't have thought he was up to anything any more strenuous than frolicking. I'm impressed that he can still cavort.

I love Stack the Cats. It's like Tetris for slow old women like me.

Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary has this fun definition: (emphasis unnecessary for Bitches, but you'll find it)

to jump or move around in a playful way, sometimes noisily, and often in a sexual way: They were spotted cavorting beside the swimming pool.

Jess, something about a tendency to merriment. I've been googling the definition trying to hit the one they used.

The word Cavort always reminds me of the Muppet Show "Robin Hood" episode, with Fozzie chanting "Cavort cavort cavort" there in Sherwood Forest. "You ought to see a full-scale frolic!"

Noooo! The cat stacking site is filtered.

Reason: The Websense category "Tasteless" is filtered.

Oh no, brenda!

Can you get to this version?

Yay!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A federal judge has ordered Marvel Enterprises Inc. to pay the creator of the comic book character Spider-Man 10 percent of Marvel's profits from the "Spider-Man" movies, Marvel said on Wednesday.

Marvel, a comic book publisher that licenses its characters, said the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York ordered it to pay Spider-Man creator Stan Lee a share of proceeds it has received since November 1998 from movies, television shows and movie-related toys manufactured by Marvel.

And boo. The rest of the story.

"Spider-Man," released by Sony in 2002, was one of the top worldwide box office hits of all time.

Marvel said it would appeal the ruling. It said it does not expect the decision to have an impact on financial forecasts for 2004 and beyond.

Marvel said the court rejected a claim by Lee, who is now chief creative officer for POW! Entertainment, to share in proceeds from third-party licensees of movie-related merchandise.

The court left unresolved Lee's claim that he is entitled to a share of profits from Marvel's joint venture with Sony Corp. related to Spider-Man movie merchandise and to a share of Marvel's international profits from the Hulk movie merchandise licensing program with Universal Studios.

Those claims will be heard in a forthcoming jury trial, Marvel said.

Marvel shares fell 48 cents to $17.75.
