Hec, our tags look funny together.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!
[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
There are names I've ended up loving, because I know people by that name, and there are names that have been ruined for me, in just the same way.
I could never name a child Sebastian because of the misogynistic asshole Sebastian who features in both of my books. Though I still think the couple in my church who named their son Sebastian Horatio showed excellent taste.
What about Say Hey Willie Mays?
OK, when you stick Willie on a specific person, it can be cool. But when it's just out there as a hypothetical name for a hypothetical child, all I can think is Wee Willie Winkle. Uh-uh. No way, no how.
Besides, if we name our son for baseball players, I thought we'd already settled on Edgar Ichiro. Just to make my mom kill us.
Miriam WAS a frumpy old librarian in my elementary school.
Silly husband. Miriam is that gorgeous Pierce Pettis song.
And I think the problem is Dylan wants to name a baseball player, while I'm trying to name a hero for one of my books, or maybe that dashing RAF pilot. I know our son has slightly higher odds of making it to the Show than of getting pulled through a time warp and fighting under Wellington or flying in the Battle of Britain, but still. I like my favorite names.

You think?
Yeah, but according to Cindy it'd need a PMRC sticker.
Poor Dave Frishberg.

Silence means security silence means approval
Wow...his name matches my thoughts on it.
Just for the record:
In 1947, the Cardinals gained notoriety by attempting to boycott games against the Brooklyn Dodgers to protest the Dodgers' signing of a black player, Jackie Robinson. Slaughter was the alleged ringleader of this boycott. National League president Ford Frick threatened to ban any players who boycotted any games, and the boycott never happened. The Cardinals did not sign a black regular until Curt Flood in 1958.
Not having any black players really hurt the Cards for years, although they had more black players than the Yankees by the time the two teams met in the 1964 World Series.
Stan Musial wanted no part of the strike. One of the many reasons Stan "The Man" is my starting RF in my all-time team. (I'm DHing The Babe.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Yeah, but Stan Musial played left field. And then first base.
Still, I like Stan in Left, and Frank Robinson in Right. Though, obviously from his pitching, the Babe had a decent arm out there in right field.
Centerfield? Hmmm, maybe Tris Speaker. No, probably Mantle before he tore up his leg.

You're a sexy amazon robot, baby.
My tag's from Undeclared. One of the characters is singing it in the shower, and on the commentary it was revealed that he improv-ed it. Heh.

It's definitely the kind of thing Bender would sing.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I was in snarly angry pissymaking pain (ask around here, folk'll tell ya) for over a year.That should be my reason for wanting a refill, to not antagonize my friends. Well, at least not without a good reason. Like I thought something was funny.
I've cancelled every single not!work plan for the last three weeks because I am just not nice to be around. Grouchtastic, in fact.
Also? Have an easy sleepy pain-free flight and a fantastic trip!

Cass, that was totally me before my surgery. Even doped to the max, on the highest dosage allowed of percocet and flexeril, I was in such horrible pain that my entire personality changed. I was snarly and snappy and gloom-and-doomy until I got patched up.
To repeat what ita said about herself: ask around here -- they'll tell you. I was evil. In unspeakable pain, but evil. And/or abyssmally depressed.

Wow. ita. Africa! so impressed. I've not even had Ethopian food yet. Sometimes I wonder what the hell happens to my life(When I'm not getting mix tapes, of course) because it seems like I'm doing stuff and then when I think about it, kind of not so much. Green, still. And too pale to be brown.
