Them gorram keeds also call Atlanta "the A-T-L." That's the frelling airport designation, not the name of a city. I seem to be alone among my friends in my crankiness about this, though.
Kaylee: You're nice, too. Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.

Spike's Bitches 29: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
"wah wah wah that's a felony..."This is the thanks I get for saving you from a Mexican prison?
Actually, wait... No, I was saving you from the American legal system. Which is less scary. But still frowns on felony transport of narcotics.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
For nigh on a generation, it has sufficed to call the town, Tee-Oh, as a result.
All this time I just thought it was To., ON. Didn't know it was an acronym.
Them gorram keeds also call Atlanta "the A-T-L."
They could be calling it Hotlanta instead...

Toronto often gets referred to by locals as T.O. for Toronto, Ontario. For nigh on a generation, it has sufficed to call the town, Tee-Oh, as a result. But you know them gorram keeds, everything's gotta be JLo or BenJen or something. Therefore, "the Tee-dot".Really not a lot of entertainment going on in Canada, is there?

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

Just sayin', we could have partied.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
However organizing continues to be a pain in my back. And arms. And neck. My ass is too padded to be pained by this.
(it is intersting when you're out with Cass and some guy oggles her ass. on the one hand it's "hey, buddy, eyes back in the sockets" on the other, you sorta can't blame him)
I was gonna say, as a recent observer of the ass of cass, looks like pretty much the exact right amount of padding.

"Hotlanta" appears to have been moved to the Home for Retired Annoying Nicknames.

Mostly lurking...
Damn steroids indeed, but are they at least helping you breathe and keeping you from more ER visits?
Yes. Thank goodness.

I can't even.

So, it's a wanna-gang thing, I guess. @@

As incredibly tiresome as that must be to locals, it is a useful reminder to potential visitors from afar. As in, "How humid could it really be there, this time of year? Oh wait, that's right, not fit for humans. Check, carry on."
