So, I was copying and pasting from b.org to Word, to pass on what folks had to say to AnotherAlaskan, and ended up with different fonts from Natter (Verdana) and Bitches (Times Roman). Huh.
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.
Or explain what a crumpet is.
It's an English muffin foetus.
Daniel, I vote cool.
The BBC has a very nice FAQ about the Creative Archive project and the related iMP here. (And yes, it's only for UK residents - it's really just an extension of the TV licence - and yes, users are granted access based on their IP address. Which, yes, means that people who haven't paid a TV license but have UK IP addresses will probably be able to freeload. And also means that expats who have paid their licence are screwed.)
Oh. Chris Isaak. On my To Do list. Yum. YUM. I
Gris, that's a VERY good idea. One of the factors in my hiring at a mostly Latino school was that I chose a Neruda poem for my sample lesson, and brought it in in Spanish and English. So, showing interdepartmental goodness is wise. (Although they acted like I was GENIUS for thinking of a biling lesson, and it kinds seemed a gimme to me...)
And in a nice bit of synchronicity, the Accidental Hedonist has just posted this list of British foods.

When we were in Scottsdale, AZ, K-Bug and I ended up at a high-end mall (as if there is any other kind in Snottsdale) that had a Lush. We bought a couple of goodies and ended up with samples of a TON of different items. It was sample overload, almost. Not complaining, just not used to that treatment.
Dare I admit I keep clicking on that pic of Chris Isaak? Yummmmy.
I'm eating Robin Eggs (my all-time favorite Easter candy) and admiring the Peeps plastic bunny containers I just bought. You get the cute without the nast.
(I'm bored, so I think people should join me in virtual shopping.)
If someone handed you a blank check, but said you could only use it to buy one piece of clothing, what would you buy?
A Fortuny gown.
