The tv is off, but while I am on things that aggravate me I think I forgot to relate this story from the other day: I was out shopping when I saw this cute kid (maybe two) reaching out of the shopping cart toward the book aisle " Her reply was, "Oh, he loves books, but I don't buy them for him because he gets enough of that stuff in daycare." WTF?
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

[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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Gotta nip that book love in the bud. I mean, a little is OK, but too much books and the kid won't be athletic, and maybe even gay.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
My office has chips and dip and cheese and crackers and soda and candy corn in the conference room right by my desk.
Yay for treats, but boo for temptations and boo for loud co-workers visiting as they give into temptation.
YAY for Nicole wallet findage.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Suzi - a handful of candy corn has less sugar and colories than a handful of raisins.
Something to think about.

I would NOT have been able to resist telling this woman what a fucking moron she is.

"I'm sorry. There will be no books for you. Reading only leads to things like free thought, intelligence, and being knowledgeable. We're Republicans, dear. We don't believe in those things."

I think what stopped me was the not a mom thing that stopped me, but I used to see that kind of thing all the time when I worked at Borders and it drove me crazy. "No, no books. I just bought you a toy at the mall."

It's one thing to not be able to afford books. That, I understand. But to think that there is such thing as "enough" books is what scares the hell out of me.

Yes, this and also the priority of toys over books.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Whenever we go on long trips, I always bring books. And I start reading as soon as I get in the vehicle. And my dad tells me to wait until we get to the highway, as if I haven't seen the road from the house to the highway four gazillion times. And then, when we're on the highway, later, he tells me to put the book away and look outside.
THERE. I LOOKED OUTSIDE. THE WORLD STILL EXISTS. CAN I READ NOW? GEEZ.
It is very annoying.
