[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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Flurm is the favored soda of Fry in Futurama--it's an addictive soda that turns out to be the extretia of a blobby alien creature. So, it's sorta the same as newborn poop. I'm laughing my ass off at the term because it pretty much sounds like "fluuuuurm" when it's happening.

Also, side note to Hec & JZ: PAPER, ROCK, SCISSORS! Seriously, we still play for diaper changes. It's really the only fair way to decide.

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

No, that's Slurm, isn't it? But it's where my mind immediately went too.

Ah, brenda is right! I suck. Flurm is totally different. Or similar. This is what I get for posting uncaffeinated.

What is even happening?

If one parent has been changing the diapers all day, there's no need for ROCK PAPER SCISSORS, though. It's the other one's turn, and that's it. Parent who has been on all day diaper duty is free to notice the need for a change, walk up to Mr(s). CleanHands and say, "You're it," walk away, sit down, put feet up, and have a cookie.

It's right in the rule book. Swear.

Yep, page 385, with additional references on pages 472 and 666.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

There's also a codicil to the rule. If you don't change the diaper, you don't get to criticize.

Well, Christopher does own up to the dirty job when he's at home and gives me a break. But when we're both home (weekends, holidays, etc.) we resort to P, R, S. Partly because it's fair, fun and because I truly win more than he does. I don't know how it happens but I am especially lucky with P, R, S.

move out and draw fire

He single?

Indeed he is. And politically rational and has a wry sense of humor.

We neither of us are allowed to change the diapers anymore. Mal will be sweet and pleasant and calm for the nanny, but for us he howls and runs and thrashes and beats his head into the marble and kicks his legs. It ends up being a two-person job most times.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

...whence came this word flurm?

I'm guessing it's onomatoepaia

Raq guesses correctly. Emmett did not flurm as a baby. He made a splortch.

I'm drinking regular coffee this morning. It saddens me.

But! the Hold Everything gift card which has been sitting around, tying up $200 worth of goodness for two years, is now perfectly useful! Huzzah! Time for a new espresso machine.
