Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.  

[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.

Yeah if the breaks are just squeaking and not grinding, then it's probably just the pads and will likely be in the $100 ballpark, but if the breaks are also causing the car to vibrate then the rotor might need to be turned too and that will add another $50 - $90 or so.

Bug, not that I expect you to use this but "snarky" has a very dear place in the heart of Homicide fans as well, dating from the following

KELLERMAN: You sure you want me with you?

BAYLISS: Sure. Why?

KELLERMAN: Last time we worked together you were kind of...snarky.

BAYLISS: Snarky?

KELLERMAN: Yeah. Snarky. From the ancient Greek for "butthead".

Mostly lurking...

Good to know, erika.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

but if the breaks are also causing the car to vibrate then the rotor might need to be turned too and that will add another $50 - $90 or so.

And if the rotors are too bad off to be turned, they'll have to be replaced, which is when you end up in the $300+ teritory....

erikaj, thanks for posting that link to your interview in Press. I liked reading your take on writing and such.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Great interview, erika! Although it makes me realize that I've been thinking for all these years that there's an "e" at the end of your last name.

There is. Why it remains invisible to them? A mystery for the ages. Lost tribes of Israel and how could they miss that seeing my name three times a week? D.B. Cooper. Shit like that.

Oh, good, that E thing totally threw me.

Fabulous interview, erika. Thanks for posting the link.

So glad I wasn't hallucinating it....

Nope. They're "very stoned" not the Bitches. But you can tell that doesn't annoy me, right? Completely over it.
