And in all seriousness, I'm frightened. I got back from signing papers and I've been upset all day. That's just too much money to comprehend, and if I get unemployed, I will be unemployed owing $600,000. Plus.
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 think the shared expectation is that we'll sell this and pay the bank back and move to a little sod hut in South Dakota.

I have a new favorite joke.
"Why can't the Buddha vacuum under his sofa?"
"Because he has no attachments."
Heh. Buddha is comedy gold.
That reminds me of my favorite joke from back around Rushdie's fatwa.
"Did you hear about Rushdie's new book?"
"No, what is it?"
"It's titled:
Buddha, You Fat Fuck!
-giggles-
Joke is good.
