Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

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.

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

Who the hell put Air Supply on my ipod?

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

My second article should be running tomorrow. The editor said my hook was really good, liked my ending, and didn't eviscerate the middle as much as I might have expected, considering it's a 1400-word story. After we took care of a few unclear areas, she said it was perfect.

An undergraduate news editor thinks I'm good at this shit! It's a start.

Thanks Sparky.

I might just want to go back to school, myself. Maybe I could work in the library.

Lee, have you been drinking heavily lately? In the alternative, are you sure it is your ipod, and not a partner's?

If you teach a room (or a generation) of students to do one things specifically, and that is pass some dumbass standards test, and don't expect them to learn anything else, where's the surprise?

The lack of instruction and/or contrary to earth logic instruction from their parents on the subject?

Even without the stupidity of much of the current testing, teachers can only teach so much, and most value judgements are learned not in school, but in the home.

so gosh darned pleased with our Spectral Cow.

And I want to help teach history in Buffista High School! So much of modern history turns on the fact that some guy wasn't getting laid enough or in the right way.

People generally frown on those sorts of relationships, Connie. Please find some other way to affect the course of history.

Supporters of the new approach, who see it as part of Bush's "ownership society," say workers and their families would become more careful users of healthcare if they had to pay the bills. Also, they say, the lower premiums on high-deductible plans would make coverage affordable for the uninsured and for small businesses.

Excuse me, let me go tell my husband that his heart attacks, back seizures, colon cancer, and collapsing shoulders are just him being a spendthrift.

All right, granted, the article says that this approach will probably not work, but ... Why do I get the feeling that I'll be burying a husband while they figure that out?

However, in "The Queer Eye Guys have just looked in the Emperor's closet and commented on the lack of clothes in there" land, we have this.

Oh my god. Who can afford to buy into this fucking "ownership society"? I haven't heard the phrase before but it sent chills down my spine.
