Always Anti-fascist!

Corwood wants Prom in the Gem. Well, that would be...a little different from what we usually do. But not as much as you might think.

hip deep in pie

I dreamt about having a boyfriend. (sigh) And about being at a hockey practice where there was no glass along the boards and cower in a corner of the players bench hoping I wouldn't get hit by flying pucks.

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

People, and people who don't come to meetings or even reply to the invites, bother. But it's Friday, and tomorrow I get to see a friend I haven't seen since she told me she was pregnant, and tonight I see the Zombie Monkey Pirate Movie.

Not getting arrested today would be a bonus.

Lee, if that's why you think I'm weird, you're not reading closely enough. I hope you have more than that in your files on me.

But hey, I don't take compliments well, so consider the gift thing is just an extension of that.

I don't think we have a defense for cordless saw. I should ask.

(in case my teasing was unclear in any way on that point)

I knew you were teasing. I was just teasing back.

ita is pretty and funny and smart and cuddly.

I don't think we have a defense for cordless saw. I should ask.

Also, would it cover two instead of one? And what if the wielder had John-Woo-hero-level ambidex skills?

I'm gonna go out on a limb (har), and say that the defense would be in the family of defenses against stick (with similar caveats to the ones used when adapting stick defense for sword or cutlass). However, if there are two weapons, it makes it more important to get to the dead side (defend on the outside of the arm, and not the inside. So it would be a hybrid with the defense against knife, slashing.

In people hate, I also dislike ones who don't read their emails and defend their ignorance not just of their content but of their existence with a "Oh! I'm behind!"

Humph. I'll have you know that my fake British accents (of which I have several) are just fine, thankyouverymuch.

Oh sure. But your terrible one was profoundly terrible, worse than Xander's. That takes skill.

However, the decorations sound amazing. We need to book the dreamfolks who did them for the next F2F. And an Old West hotel would be fantastic. All the corsetry would look just perfect, and maybe in addition to the theremin and bellydancing performances we could tap one of the LAistas to hit a prop shop and bring us a bunch of breakaway sugar bottles for a nice old-fashioned bar fight.

Excellent! I think it was Marfa because of the lights.

Only if I get to be Dan Dority.

Does running away screaming like a girl count as a defense? Because I'm fairly sure I'd pick that one.

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

I had a dream that ita took me to Krav and the instructor kept telling me I was too fat. And then ita put me in some sort of weird soloflex contraption and left me all alone.
