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.

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 find aspirin a lot more effective on that type of pain than ibuprofen. Maybe worth a try?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Ice, ice, baby. And then a nice heat pack. I keep one of those herbal things at work, so I can nuke it and put it where needed. It smells good, too.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Yeah, if I had had one of those TheraHeat wrap thingies at home, I'd have used it. Alas, I was out. And I didn't think to bring in the plug-in heating pad with me. Bah.

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

Yes, but eating will be much more difficult, as raw fish are generally unavailable drivethrough.

Dude, they're in LA...

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

I thought this was a fascinating article. Anyone read the book?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I didn't say they were unavailable. Just hard to find drivethrough. although wiith the time saved with cooking, it may be a wash.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Crap, Steph. I hope your back feels better soon.

I am watching last night's TDS and have just discovered that I have a massive crush on Josh Lucas. Damn the numminess is intense. I have watched the interview three times.

Also just called the gas co. to have them turn on my pilot light. They'll be here on Tuesday. At which point I will be a popsicle. Stil 49° in here.

I should go to IKEA and buy a mass of tealights. Nothing like twenty candles to warm the place up.

I thought this was a fascinating article.
Vincent's man-drag was good enough, as it turns out. Before writing this book, she spent a year and a half posing as a man and, insofar as she could, living as one. As "Ned," she joined a bowling league, went to strip clubs, entered a monastery, dated heterosexual women (and slept with one of them), worked a sales job and went on a men's-movement retreat, all without being discovered.
The hell? She slept with a het woman, as a man, and the chick didn't notice?

edited to change the masculine ordinal to an actual degree sign.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

She did, I think, from what I could gather from when he touched on it later in the piece.

I do agree that moving far outside your normal social type (from NYC to "the heartland") is only going to increase the disconnect, and is sort of dishonest, in the experiment.

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.

Thought I would bring this to the attention of the craftier among us: [link]

All is well that ends in pizza.

Codpieces, corsets, and fairy wings, oh my.
