I think Most pre-Cheney legends are about voluntary shape-shifters, mostly magicians or witches, who can take the form of animals.
Yep. They take off their clothes and put on a magical animal skin that transforms them into that animal.
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

[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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I finally - after three haircuts - got all the pink cut out! (It never did wash out or wear off.) Thanks for asking!
So by my calculations your hair should be shimmeringly silver and extra short now, right? Good work!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
This month, I *will* have sushi.
And a beer.
Though not at the same time.
Sorry, got giddy there for a second.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I read that "pre-Cheney" legends as being pre-DICK Cheney ... and while I wouldn't be surprised if he sprouted fangs, his behaviour seems to be consistent regardless of the phase of the moon.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
Susan, a book that a friend of mine found useful for checking out general portrayals of werewolves was Jim Butcher's Fool Moon. He's got four or five different kinds of werewolves in it, with some exposition about the mythologies, all efficiently packaged into one novel.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I want to go to Seattle to eat sushi and have beer with Plei, and to see Princess Tickybox.
Can I?

Yay! I would give you time to get settled in, of course, and myself time to do the same, but maybe some weekend in late May or early June?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have a gift certificate to a sushi place burning a hole in my desk drawer. It will be used soon, oh yes.
I might have a beer with my sushi, because I'm crazy like that.
