These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'm curious as to why you see this as liberal thinking.

Um, that's a Buffy reference. I don't think she meant anything by it.

It's a riff on an S2 or maybe S3 Buffy quote, dear.

(Dear being Dylan and not Burrell, not that Burrell is not a dear person and all, but I'm not Southern enough to "darling" and "honey" and "dear" everyone in sight.)

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

Yeah, and even without knowing so explicitly, the use of "fuzzy-minded" and "gets you eaten" generally indicate some sort of jokyness.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And now that we have the rules of humour down pat...

Sometimes I think Annabel means to forego ever learning to talk and instead communicate through interpretive dance.

We were both sitting here having our lunches. I looked over and asked if she was done and ready for her nap. She immediately tore off her bib and gave an exaggerated, theatrical yawn.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

What about pratfalls? What's the verdict on them? Funny, or just lame?

Depends. If there are props -- not funny. If the prat is English -- funny. Otherwise (or in intersecting cases), we need to evaluate individually.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

For example, I am cleaning the house and my tiara falls off. I slip on it, fall to the floor, beaning myself in the head with the vacuum hose, which then clogs with my hair and explodes all over myself and the dog.

Fuuny or lame?

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

Fuuny or lame?

Is the dog wearing a sweater?

No.
