Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I've had a few overly sharp or chipped teeth filed down - it's done with a filing head on the drill and (assuming it's done right) doesn't hurt a bit. Honest.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I used have very pointy canines. The left one is still pointy, but the right one's tip got knocked off in the Great Face-Planting Incident of 2004, so now it looks kind of jagged.

I have had to have so much work done on my teeth that the thought of willingly going to the dentist for a purely cosmetic procedure makes my skin crawl.

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

Does Rand deserve the Coulterian association? All I know is that her philosophy is wacky, but never heard that she was unusually mendacious or spiteful.

Great Face-Planting Incident of 2004

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

I just got an email from walk_for_a_cure@naldep.com encouraging me to sponsor Patty and Michelle for a Susan G Komen Walk For The Cure.

I don't know a Patty. Nor a Michelle-who-is-a-cancer-survivor. The naldep.com domain pops up on more than one spam blacklist. The URLs in the email don't go where they say (http://www.the3day.org/Dallas06/pattynall and twosteppintatas.com). The first URL ends up taking you to kintera.org which seems legit, but the second is just a placeholder page.

It rubs me wrong. If I do indeed know a Patricia Nall, there's some uncloaking that needs to be happening.

And if I don't, in light of the whole Marni and breast cancer thing, I am not amused.

I can vouch for this on getting overly sharp edges toned down w/out pain. Sound-wise, it's no worse than the drill (and usually lasts a lot less time).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's creepy, ita. Kintera as a thing is legit, but I don't know about the rest of it.

Oh, and I didn't mention--the actual destination URLs in the message take you to naldep--cutting and pasting the text quoted above in takes you elsewhere.

A world of not-right.

Analysis: Jesse, can I come visit you again?

Does Rand deserve the Coulterian association? All I know is that her philosophy is wacky, but never heard that she was unusually mendacious or spiteful.

Well, she was, but in Rand's case, that was incidental to her actual career.
