Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!  

[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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Why do I always run into the weird sex toy stories?

Because you go looking for them. Don't deny it, we know you do. And, we rely on you for information.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Someone please tell me that I can find a way to afford this: [link]

It cost me about $7,000 Kristin. And that was with a child (hence complicated custody negotiations), but in a non-contentious divorce.

You could do it for less, I think.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

From Hec's link to Erika earlier - this site mentioned in the article: [link] is truly amazing. Fascinating photo-essay, I guess you'd call it. Long, but totally worth it.

It really was amazing to cycle through it a few times. One of the most effective politcal mindfucks I think I've seen - in a positive way. Beautifully upends presuppositions.

So, what do we think the "crown" of a hat is?

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

The top or the upper part, vw.

So, what do we think the "crown" of a hat is?

The part which is not the brim. The round part of a bowler for example.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

In breaking news (of NYTimes):

Volcano Erupts in Alaska - Augustine Volcano, located on an uninhabited island 180 miles from Anchorage, erupted twice today.

So, if it says to work until the hat measures 6 3/4 inches from crown, do we think that means the center point where I began, or where the hat started to go straight down?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I think it means "If the hat don't fit, you must still knit."
