Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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

Oooh, pretty, amych. (Not JZ, I peeked anyway, b/c pretty!)

All the linked dresses are pretty.

I need to get my dress cleaned and stored so it stays pretty.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Sound of Busic?

The bills are live...

No. The movie S.O.B. - in which a 40+ Julie goes topless. And she's...amazing.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

The movie "SOB," in which Ms. Andrews bares her breasts in a rather obvious attempt to change her oh-so-pure image, both for her character and for her personally. A Blake Edwards movie, but one that was far exceeded in quality by "Victor/Victoria," one of my all-time faves.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

My mom had one of those writeups when she married dad.

I spent about four years writing those write-ups. I was a lifestyle editor. I had no particular interest in things social or bridal, but after about a year, I could look at a picture and type "overlaid with medallions of alencon lace." Much of that knowledge has now left my brain.

My favorite write-up from a bride: "The groom's cake was in the shape of a truck, the symbol of the groom's profession." A fellow lifestyle editor once had a bride write that the gown was "ebony white."

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

amych, that's absolutely fabulous.

I still don't have my wedding dress. I've been postponing the shopping for body-demon issues, though I can't screw around for much longer. It's less than 8 months away now.

And I want sleeves to cover my flabby arms, but if I can't find a dress I like, I will have a bolero jacket made to cover the flaws.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Oh yes! But when you're eight, somehow the brideyness overshadows the groom.

I dunno, not for me. Of course I wanted a tackling dummy for Christmas right around then (when I was around 8, not when my parents got married).
