Spike's Bitches 23: We've mastered the power of positive giving up.  

[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.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Susan, have you seen "Fever Pitch", yet?

Nope. We haven't seen a movie in the theater since National Treasure over Thanksgiving. Thanks to Annabel's mellow nature, I get to do more normal life stuff like write and go to baseball games than many mothers, but movies are kinda tough still.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

rolls eyes and sighs loudly

Sorry AIDS and overpopulation, crippling poverty and forced prostitution- maybe in another 30 years.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

There was a line in it that totally made me think of you. They refered to a Player to be named later.

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

Benedict. Benedictine is the adjective (and also the alcohol.)

::somewhat dissapointed, as Benedictine rhymes with sixteen::

Ann, that's a ferret.

FWIW, maybe sooner -- he is in his 70s.

What is even happening?

Sorry, I'll blame my mother for that, Betsy. I left the TV and was getting my information from her, on the phone.

he is in his 70s.

Discovery/History/TLC (one of those type) had a special on Papal elections last night. They referred to electing an old Pope as 'someone who will keep the chair of Peter warm without moving the furniture around too much.'

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I kinda like the thought of Pope Benedictine XVI. Kinda like a huge bottle of liquor in a pointy hat. (More than three times as big as a fifth.)

Since I'm a UU pagan I also lack an aggessive canine, but I'm glad the pope's been chosen. Now we won't have 5 minutes of BBC America (a large chunk considering it's a 20 minute show) devoted to, "Nope. No pope yet." They'll spend a day or so on the Ratzinger Retrospective and Speculations, and then they'll move on to Tony Blair's chances of staying PM, soccer scores, and the latest super 'flu.

My parents- mom and stepdad- are UU, which doesn't count as organized religion. I loved that church though. Alex's service was there and it was beautiful. It's actually where I first met my stepfamily many moons ago. It's not for me, but I still have fond memories.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My UU aunt describes her church as "We believe in one god, at most."

[eta: Which technically, since they've got a bunch of pagan members, is more quippy than accurate. But it makes me laugh.]
