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.

Mostly lurking...

Jeez. This Delta guy is an idiot. I said Tuesday. I know the flights tomorrow are already booked. I could tell that from your website.

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

Just let us know which thread you are linking to, ok?

Okay. Damn, this job keeps getting more and more complicated! I may have to break down and just start including the actual tags in the announcement.

This Delta guy is an idiot.

He must be related to the cashier at Big Boy.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

P-C, why not just stick to the ones within this thread, rather than bothering with the linking at all?

The status is NOT quo.

P-C, I think Hil's idea is wise. Sometimes people are touchy about having their tags pointed out anyway, so why not stick to those in here?

Motion has been put forth and seconded!

I miss the days when people sealed envelopes with hot wax and a pressed seal. Well, I can't really miss them since I wasn't there, but I see it in movies and I think it's cool.

You're all thinking of the Phantoms badass skull seal, aren't you?

People still do that. A family friend owns a stationary store that sells wax and seals. I've always wanted one, but it always seemed like such a completely ridiculous thing to be spending money on, when I have so few times that I'm communicating something in an envelope that's not going through the mail. (I'm pretty sure that the wax would melt in a mail truck and get stuck to all the other envelopes.)

He he. That was indeed what got me thinking about it again.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Many times a sealed letter is placed inside a traditional letter or manilla envelope.

Also? You need not have an overdone seal. One can put just enough of the special "sealing wax" down to spread under the seal, and not curl up to provide extra bumpyness.

From what I've gathered, the seal with the extra wax splurging up around the outside was mostly for ceremonial and high-falutin' specialness. Most people sealed with a dollop and stamp adequite to the task of sealing the flap.

Sealing wax is generally harder and tougher than say, parafin or candle wax.

At least with sealing wax, you didn't have to lick envelope gum. blecch.
