Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

[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.

What is even happening?

See how there's two dates there, Jess. I think maybe Barry's column first started getting published (in that paper) in '97. The other date is a March, 2005 one, which seems to match what the Miami Herald has, here: [link]

The Daily News link took forever to load, when I tried it from this page.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

No, because I remember reading that exact column in high school. It's an old one.

I know I read it a while ago, but for me a while ago = sometime between last year and my birth.

I know I still lived at home when it was first published, because that's the last time I subscribed to a paper that ran Dave Barry columns.

The Boston Globe magazine (or Barry's syndicator) may have rerun old columns at some point, when Barry was on a break. I know I've known about the poopachino for a while, but have no idea how long.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Cindy, I did see you mention the raptorgirl on LJ. I guess it's someone who wants to cash in on Kara's notoriety.

We're back with about 5 prescriptions. Kara got one, Aidan got a pre-emptive one, Greg got one for a sinus infection and a narcotic cough syrup, and then she made me jump up on the table and I got one for sinus infection too. I knew I had the infection, I was just ignoring it in the hopes that it would go away. Love how we spend 10 minutes at the doctor and spend a week's worth of grocery money. She was very cool, though, and we're home and about to have mac and cheese.

It's a trade-off. You're now broke, but you didn't have to keep running back everyday to get broke. You got broke all at once.

Yeah, do it fast. It doesn't hurt any less, but it's over sooner.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Why do people still think kopi luwak coffee is news, I wonder?

Because not everyone is omniscient, and being widely read is reletive?

I'm not a coffee drinker, and I just read it in an oddly stories column.

I guess my hip urban cred is shot, huh?

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

DCJ, you're salt of the earth. Not the weasel-poop-coffee earth is all.
