Congrats to the Zmayhems and on the impending Halloweenie!
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Thanks, y'all!
Also, not for nothing, but October 25 is a very nice day for a birthday.
I'm still holding out for the typical first-baby severe lateness that would give us a true Halloweenie.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Goodness! Congratulations!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yay Joss!
I also have to add that both those Kelly Link stories are amazing - especially "Magic for Beginners," which is about a group of very devoted fans of a Buffy-esque TV show. You can find links to "Magic for Beginners" online at the above link

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay!!
In other news, am I crazy for thinking it's a little weird that the ad campaign for The Color Purple on Broadway is all, "It's just so happy! Fun! Love it!"?
In other TV news, I love Shemar Moore SO MUCH on Ellen right now.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
Good gravy with cracklin's! Congratulations David & JZ!

I hear Zombie Johnny Cash killed a man in Reno just to eat his brains....
Woohoo for the fecund Zmayhems!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Holy carp! A Zmayhemette! Good news this Monday!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Congrats, Zmayhems!
