Ed Stone is Dead
I can't find a listing for it. Where/when does it air?
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

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.

Hey. New board.
Thanks for all the suggestions, guys! Those (plus the Barsoom series A Princess of Mars and so forth, which i've been meaning to read for forever) should keep me in always-in-my-pocket reading material for quite a while.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Everybody suggest one book they love that was published before 1923.
Beyond Good and Evil and Moby Dick.
plus the Barsoom series A Princess of Mars
My favorite books when I was 10! Then I discovered Fritz Leiber and REH which was better for my pre-adolesence.

What is even happening?
I'm lazy and don't feel like going to the Literary thread since I'm not subscribed these days, so...
Everybody suggest one book they love that was published before 1923. I want books to download from ManyBooks to put on my laptop.
Eight Cousins, by Louisa May Alcott. Her copyright is dated 1874.
Beth, what's the AFA? As far as I'm concerned, not using Christmas is a good thing. We get enough of it shoved in our faces by everyone else. And, guess what, not everyone in the US celebrates Christmas. I do, but I think we go to far with rubbing it in everyone elses noses.
Sail, I think the deal (and this isn't anything I have any part in, by the way) is this: Somewhere around 75-80% of the country is Christian. This is the retailers biggest time of year, sales-wise. It is such a big time of year, because of Christmas, not just or primarily the generic "the holidays."
Target (I guess) made the decision not to mention Christmas at all in their Christmas advertising and in-store promotionals. I think the AFA's position is that if Target isn't acknowledging Christmas, people who celebrate Christmas and are doing Christmas shopping, should stop acknowledging (patronizing) Target.
I don't shop Target, but it has nothing to do with either Christmas v. Holidays, or with contraception.
I don't shop Target because it is a scary, scary, overstimulatingly scary place. All that red? All those circles? The funny shaped roundish holes in the red shopping carts, and when you look down, it's moving over the funky red carpet? The florescent lighting? The music?
That place is Anxiety Attack Central. I can't go in there on a good day, in the middle of a six month span where I'd otherwise had not one anxiety attack.
I can't shop Target, or the death rays will get me.
Ford just bowed to a boycott threat from AFA and pulled all their ads from gay and lesbian magazines. I hope it hurts their business more than if the AFA instituted their boycott.
Huh. I totally missed the part in the Bible where it's immoral for gay people to drive cars.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
News of the good. The clash I thought I had between my office Christmas party and catching up with TM!Girl has been resolved. The party doesn't start till after 7, which gives me time to have a drink with TM!Girl during her work break.
I told Bec that IIRC, I'd never been hit on before. She reminded me about this place. Hee.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
No one here has hit on you in a memorable enough fashion, bt? I'd offer to do something about that, but Daniel will be up in just a little while, so I'll be to busy to follow through.

Hee. Nah, it's just that - as Bec also noted - it's different in person.

Good point. Also, the speed of the follow-through is generally better IRL, as no one has to budget for airfare and hotels.

True. It remains a booty call, rather than a booty extradition.
