You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

[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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I've decided that Banana Republic needs to bring back the t-shirts they sold whne they were first opened in the 80's. The ones with the animals on the backs? They could make baby-tees for women, too.

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

Banana Republic used to be so pointlessly cool, with the whole safari thing. Now they're like The Gap with fewer jeans. Hell, The Gap is The Gap with fewer jeans.

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

And Mal is just the cutest little thing in Greece. (I can't say the world, because the other Buffista babies would negate that.) Congratulations, Raquel!

Kate, the newly-elected pope may choose to keep his own name (in this case Joseph) or pick another. Often, he picks a name that gives a hint as to where he's going theologically.

This is definitely going to be a x-post.

Because books.

Timelies. Spreading all-purpose industrial-strength ~ma willy-nilly because I skipped like a mad thing. But I did look at the wonderful Ohio pictures, and at Raquel's Mal, who is the epitome of cute.

Hell, The Gap is The Gap with fewer jeans.

This is so very true.

Have any recent popes kept their own name? "Recent" being relative, of course.

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

Pope Recent IX.

OK, I think the sugar high I'm on is making me silly.

Not that I know. Google doesn't think so either. I think the last popes who kept their own names are back in the day when we only had 2 and 3 digits in a year.

Choosing a different name also signifies the concept that "self" takes a back seat to his role as the shepherd of the entire flock. Joseph is a man; Benedict XVI is responsible for guiding over 1 billion persons' souls.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Just like: Robin is a girl.

Scrappy is a disco inferno.
