Ellen S., revelling in the season:
Furthermore, I now have two shiny new lip balms marked "Virgin" and "Slut". My favorite part is the small print which says "Laboratory Test on Sluts/Virgins". I feel like I should get a table next to the PETA woman to protest Testing on Sluts.
You missed billytea with the rbi:
I notice that you're apparently perfectly comfortable with testing on virgins.
katefate, in Unamericans -
We had plain grey squirrels in my hometown until some mushroom hunters brought some black ones home from Michigan with them. Within a few years there were black squirrels all over town. A few years later mutant squirrels with black bodies and grey tails replaced them all.
I don't go back much anymore.
In Natter, not classically that funny but I can't stop snerking. The date is today (17 December), by the way.
Billytea: It's also the date, in 1997, that a poll revealed 22% of American voters thought Santa was a Republican, 39% thought he was a Democrat and 13% regarded him as an Independent.
DX: Please tell me the other 26% told the pollster that he was a frelling idiot for asking such a moronic question in the first place.
Shawn, being persuasive, in Natter:
Santa is old and white. His employees are all male, and his wife stays at home. He retains a ridiculous amount of his own holdings to distribute as he wishes. His existence depends on a magical and overly optimistic notion of the laws of physics and private giving. His charity to the young of the world mostly depends on whether or not they are Christian, and if the rest of the year they are good or bad people. Despite the myth that Santa treats everyone equally, empirically we all know that the richest kids fare the best with Santa.
Santa is Republican.
Laura, in Buffy (not spoily)
I am completely comfortable with the level of obsession that allows me to watch and post tonight despite having already watched the episode twice yesterday.
My children know that life is more pleasant if mom is not disturbed during Buffy. They will be home from soccer practice about 8:30 and will quietly bathe and change for bed. Or else.
