Plus, you know, they shouldn't really be wearing those revealing outfits....
You better not be picking on the naked mole rats now. I'ma step up and introduce you to the five fingers of enlightenment.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Always Anti-fascist!
Ugh, y'all. Little too much for morning's first blush, I gotta say. Yes, I look at photos of decomp sometimes. But that's a work thing. I'm a lady, goddamn it.

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

As long as they keep it to the privacy of their burrows - you don't see naked mole rats throwing themselves at cats, do you?
Wait, maybe you do....

Can I just say hooray for the government today, who sent me my piddly tax refund so that arrived this morning right while I was scrambling around trying to find a way to get an extra fifty bucks or so into my account before my gym payment comes in and overdraws? $83.50, baybee, and my (immediate) problems are solved.
How do I get myself into these spots?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Luckily GWB was there to get you out!

Not that anyone asked me, but my answer (as a theist, but not one who feels tied to any specific religion) to the "why is there cruelty if there's a God" question is this: If there is a God, and He created and monitors the universe, His purposes and motivations and abilities must be so far beyond anything human beings can conceive of as to render our judgment on anything He does meaningless. It's like we're roaches bitching about Raid, from the Big Guy's perspective. And there's no way we can even begin to understand why He's spraying the Raid around, but there is a reason. Maybe not one we'd like, but one that makes sense to Him.
This doesn't make Him cruel. It certainly doesn't make Him kind. It simply makes Him what He is.

God is the Orkin Man.
Or maybe God is the virus that makes us seek out cats.

Being an atheist is nice sometimes. Shit happens because shit happens. It's not deep, but it make sense to me.

Uh-huh.
I beg your pardon - I never promised you a rose garden.
Or:

My take on my personal diety is that she's not there to stop bad things happening. She is ultimate comfort and support, though, and the occasional bit of minor good luck.
