[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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Springtime in Utah is a bit schizoid.

My brain wants to read this to the tune of "Springtime for Hitler". It's not quite working.

I can do it. "Spring-time! In U-Tah... isabit Skh-IT-Soid!"

You must have the colloquial pronunciation, you see...

ETA: Hey, Merriam-Webster agrees with me, mostly: [link]

Hell, after kids, even my Bs failed the pencil test. Which I don't think was totally fair as I didn't breastfeed, so felt I should get a bye on the saggage.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Deena, swear I thought of you first (second...) Actually it was, "hey, familiar..." and then I realized he looked like Nick. Faux-Nick was lovely and well-behaved though, reflected well on his doppleganger.

Barenjager?
Yep. I shall google it. Given where I live, it should be available somewhere.
It's nice, isn't it? Try it with a dash of tequila.
God it is lovely. And my favorite way to have it.

It's like dessert for those who can pass The Carding.

I have since tried it with Scotch too. I prefer the tequila but the smokiness is nice. I just, honestly, ran out of sipping tequila and decided to experiment.

I didn't fail the pencil test until I was measured as a DD.
Seriously?

I failed not long after I was a C.

Though I still claim to be a C most times cause the bras are cuter and I loathe the straps that moving to a D gets me. But you passed the pencil test? Day-um.

I gotta try krav. If it doesn't help the supporting muscles, I suspect it'll help with the accompanying rage issues.

Hey Eddie, what happened at the barbecue on Saturday?

Thanks for asking! I went, I made nice, I'm still not interested. Why? you single? ::evil grin::

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

But you passed the pencil test? Day-um.

I know I was lucky, and still am, kinda. Or, to be honest, I'm just not fully respectful of the pencil test as the arbiter of bralessness. Sometimes I just don't care.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

What, exactly, is the pencil test?

Hey. New board.

Yeah, I'm starting to wonder if I pass it.

Which is a very strange thing for a male to be wondering. What can I say, I'm a joiner.

If you put a pencil under your boob and it falls out, you can go braless for you are perky! If the pencil stays in place, you are doomed to wear bras for you have no perk. (Like hell, I still occassionally go braless. No one complains.)

You had to go there, didn't you? Caveat lector indeed!
