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.

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

With the style and panache, they are no longer louts or goons. They are something more beautiful.

You didn't think I was in it for the brutality alone, surely?

Oh, no. You clearly need a gang that looks and works sort of like your Krav security detail.

Now tagless for your comfort.

ita has nailed why I like hockey. Hitting guys. Boring. Hitting guys while skating. Speed and grace punctuated by violence.

Except they have these great big knives they so rarely use. It makes me tense.

I was just talking about the virtues of Kung Fu ice skating yesterday.

Art Crawl!!!

Cashmere -- Owen is far too cute!

Woo hoo for Emmett's recover and excellent Homework-Fu.

Also, ita -- have you seen ads for "The Contender"? Some sort of new reality show where people are training to be boxers or something like that.

Also, why roller derby is so much fun. I just came back from my daughter's first bout. It was a hoot and holler! They had a "spanking alley" for the girls who had to go to the penaly box. And the fights! Wheee! I had fun.

Thanks for all the ~ma. I haven't had an update, yet, but I'm sure it's doing much good for Kathy and Jerry. I appreciate all your wishes for the family.

Heh. The very first professional sport Emmett ever saw was roller derby at the nearby Kezar Pavilion. He still asks me when it will come back. (He saw it at ages 2 and 3.)

I did -- a couple instructors tried out for the other one, the one on Fox that stunk.

Funny thing is -- I hate boxing. It's kinda like hockey fights. Too many weapons unused.
