[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Now the comments make sense. That was nice.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

He is registered. Whether or not he is a Buffista, that is for him to say, for it is a personal choice between one and one's banana.

Apparently I'm not using this board right. And suddenly I'm a-scared of those who are.

I was gonna say god, but after the long natter discussion, i decided to think of something else, and since I'm eating a banana, went with the noun closest to me.

If I only had a brain...
I had minced banana with my curry at Trader Vic's last night. I loved Trader Vic's a lot, although I was disappointed that they floated an edible orchid instead of a gardenia in my drink.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's gross.
And I don't mean the orchid.

It was an English-style curry. Banana and currants and other weird stuff are traditional.
Actually, it was a bizarre American variant on a curry; it was clearly broiled chicken mixed in a curry sauce, rather than chicken stewed in curry.

Luckily they weren't traditional when and where I was in England.

Hmm. That's fascinating.
I wonder if it's only Americans who do that, then? When I was growing up, if we were having a curry-powder-based curry, there were always chopped eggs, chopped peanuts, chopped banana, coconut, raisins... to sprinkle on. That was what made it fun.
