I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

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.

If I only had a brain...

Which is probably what's turning all the boys gay.

My milkshake sends all the boys screaming out of the yard.

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

It's an argument against sex too.

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

I wonder what they make them out of if there's no mom in the picture.

Snips and snails and puppy dog tails. Wait, that's what little boys are made of. Never mind.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

So what we're saying is, the Church endorses Botox?

Absolutely it does.

Didja tell them Victoria wasn't even born yet when P&P was published?

Heh. Yup. I think that might have bothered me almost as much as it bothered you, Susan. It was the last line of the review and my mouth just fell open.

Here's the text of my letter:

Dear Editor,
Hope Madden may want to take a refresher course on either European History or English Literature.
Jane Austin lived from 1775-1817. She died two years before Queen Victoria was born. Her works, including Pride and Prejudice (published in 1813), were written during what is commonly referred to as the Regency Period in England, when King George III fell ill and his son, the Prince of Wales ruled in his stead.
Just because the people talk funny and wear fancy dresses in a book doesn't mean it's Victorian.

Sincerely,
Me

I'm going to have to let Nick in on this. He doesn't know he's a gay boy. Poor creature.

"Austen". It's the Law: always one misspelling in a snark.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Has this "how to raise straight boys / how to keep women womenly and feminine and non-sporty" thing always been around but we're seeing more of it now because of the internet? Or is getting worse in the last decade? And if it is getting worse, is it a reaction against the increasing acceptance of homosexuality and feminist values (even if few women call themselves feminist) or is our culture truley lurching towards conservative Christian values?

Too tired to think about it myself....

Oh wait - it's all Sporty Spice's fault!
