Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[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.

Thrive to spite them
We have a holiday luncheon thing that's part of the regular scheduled meetings we have through out the year. The food isn't bad and there are drawings for small prizes and everyone gets a company mug as a gift. Plus there is usually food left over so most people get to take something home for dinner.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Teppy, I seem to recall your having some "copyright infringement" notice troubles from your ISP. What did you do? How did it go? I just got a notice and wonder whether it's worth it to file a counter-notification or just take it as the warning it is and lie low for a while and be more careful.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Peru has a pre-Columbian tradition of erotic art. It's really trippy to walk around a museum and see small children gathered around pitchers and pots clearly (and in no way stylized) depicting naked people doing various sexual things. It doesn't surprise me at all that the locals in the article see it as a tempest in a tea pot -- though it does surprise me the journalist makes no mention of the history of eroticism.

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
Hah! That sounds trip-to-Peru worthy. Oh, H brought home a catalog from the Museum of Erotica in Sweden when she was there with the fucking bastard last year. I'll see if I can dig it up and bring it with this weekend.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Teppy, I seem to recall your having some "copyright infringement" notice troubles from your ISP. What did you do? How did it go? I just got a notice and wonder whether it's worth it to file a counter-notification or just take it as the warning it is and lie low for a while and be more careful.
They actually suspended my account and sent me an Official Form that I had to fill out and return, indicating either (1) I had removed the material in question or (2) I disputed the claim and was willing to undergo further investigation.
Then, the Official Letter said, if I chose #1, it would still take -- and I quote -- no less than 10 business days to reinstate my service. Because they transfer the data packets by hand, apparently. Uphill. Both ways. In an ASDL line.
P-C, is your account still active? If the notice you got was just a warning, I'd say lie low for a while.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
That's something I've never understood - if someone isn't harassing someone else and doesn't plan to have anything to do with them, why do they object to the restraining order? and why are courts so reluctant to grant them?
People sometimes object to the restraining order even when innocent because it affects their lives. If, for example, you live in the same neighborhood, you might run into the restrainer in the grocery store or at the gym. If the order is bogus, the person might use the restraining order to have you hassled. Also, there is a record of having a restraining order filed, even if it is eventually lifted.
