I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath  

[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.

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)

That really is a beautiful book, Java. Informative, too. It is no "Poisonwood Bible" but we probably wouldn't want to mess around with that thing just now. And not just Europeans...I have a hard time dealing with religion in America, too. Because I don't really have one, but I can't really say I'm an atheist. There are parts of many kinds of spirituality I appreciate very much, but I can't imagine wanting to fight somebody over any of it, and I don't belong to the church I spent my childhood going to. I sometimes wish I could commit that way. Or say it's all dreck like when I was the eighteen yo Angry Atheist(not to say that is anyone else here, just me. I was an awful atheist...made y'all look bad.)

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

Recovering this from the blur of commentary.

In a way, I think that being exposed to good, bawdy humor throughout one's life is probably the best way to gain a healthy attitude towards sex. Good bedroom farce can show that sex is fun, complicated, has consequences, etc. and make it seem like a natural part of life.

Loving Anne's suggestion that sex education be taught through Feydeau.

Holy hell, I meant Rabelais.

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

No Baudelaire?

Dude, that's graduate work.

Also Rabelais (see above, re: edited post).

Yay, Daniel!

And for something completely different ... My boss is at flea's Looniversity nailing down details for a two-year-at-least project. I feel so espionage-y. Like I should have her tell him, "Your folks must work so hard, you should give them a raise."

If I only had a brain...

Baudelaire is all depressing and deathy. I don't want to make my kids into premature Goths.

Betsy, I edited. I didn't mean Baudelaire.

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

While I approve of Rabelais's sexual enthusiasm, I don't think he'll provide the same educational value that Anne is espousing. However, Rabelais educated children would have a highly sophisticated view about wiping their ass.

Heh. Fair point.
