To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

JZ is a huge fan of Skeee-Lo's rap cover of "The Tale Of Mr. Morton." "Whassup, cat?"

Oh, I love that one! I went ahead and bought the album pretty much for that song (though now that I have it, I'm also really loving the Lemonheads' "My Hero, Zero"). I'm still wondering where the heck I heard Skee-Lo's "Mr. Morton" before that I liked it so much, though. I'd actually bought the Arrested Development CD partly because I got "Mr. Morton" mixed up with "Mr. Wendell". Although I also really like "Tennessee".

Getting really frelling tired of this rutting keyboard lag!

Yep, I got to give Emmett birthday hugs! It was cool. The game, I'm not discussing. Grrrrr. But Emmett is quite the cutie. Hec was dashing, as always.

Hec, K-Bug was sad to have missed you two. She was off wandering the stadium with her boyfriend. She remembers you as "the guy that bought her outrageously expensive chocolate".

Are you ready to be strong?

Cash, please stop by sometime and update us on his condition. God, I'm so sorry. How horrible.

He's probably supposed to do 30 meetings in 30 days, but the odds would be better if he'd stayed in rehab longer.

True. But a lot of drinkers are like a lot of smokers, it takes more than a few tries for quitting to stick. I had a cousin who had 3 DUIs and got sued by a step-brother for a car accident before he finally got his shit together and got sober. He's been sober for over 5 years, now. But it took a lot to get him to quit. The biggest thing was the family finally got together and told him, you're on your own, we are not bailing you out of this, not paying for the lawyer, etc. Tough love does work.

Susan, or others: I have a job to illustrate 6 characters, 5 men and 1 woman, from 1849. A couple of the men are British Navy. Any idea for websites that would provide visual references for clothes and hairstyles?

Hmm, Raq, that's a bit out of my era. If it was 1812 I'd be all over it, but most of my favorite costume sites really are that specialized. I'll poke around and see what I can find.

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 must admit, I didn't think he'd stay in treatment for the whole 30 days but I was selfishly hoping he'd get through at least the weekend what with the whole 30-40 people at an all-day beach party and bonfire to celebrate the niecelet's 16th... Fuck, the potential for drama is just palpable.

Why does stress lead me to write magnificently running on sentences with inadequate punctuation?

Thank you! My brain kept coming up with Accutane which it damn well knows is the wrong, if acne-free, name.

Yeah, there's just nothing selfish about that whatsoever.

And this is his second try. Apparently he did detox after a binge-y Fourth of July which stuck until just over a week ago. I really wish he'd stayed inpatient a while longer. It worries me that he didn't. Relapses might be part of recovery but thou shalt not fuck with my family, especially the shorter members, or I shall gut you with a spork.
