I didn't get that in the Buffy thread, either. Explanation for the obtuse, please? (Unless it would take the fun out - in that case, just ignore me, please.)

Big Blue Justice = The Tick. (The rest of it is best explained by whimsy, with possibly a touch of ennui thrown in.)

Nutty: Expect Kurt Russell to show up at your workplace, wearing leather pants, in a fulll-on rescue mission, any minute now. Don't sass him; he's a badass.

shrift: Oh, please. If we both walked around in leather pants together , the world would make itself hoarse repeating "I thought you'd be taller."

And then there'd be the obligatory "short shrift" jokes, and then me blaming my lack of stature on the educational system because they made me go against my natural sleep patterns in order to be at school at 7:30 in the morning, and sleep-dep is supposed to decrease the amount of growth hormone you produce.

Mostly, however, I'm simply talking out of my ass because I'm bored and afraid to surf the 'net due to some 1984-ish concerns.

And in case anyone asks, no, my ass isn't doing a Jim Carey impression.

Aimee:

Jacqueline going up for her fourth consecutive Olympic Gold in flattery:

Follow-up: You are a shining star in the firmament of pretty. The pretty planets revolve around you and the pretty flowers turn their pretty faces to bask in the pretty rays of your prettiness. People like Kate Winslet and Orlando Bloom see you coming and throw their aprons over their heads and run out of the room weeping. You are a platter of pretty fours on a bed of organic pretty, with whipped pretty and glitter sprinkles on top. You are an orgy of pretty, with pretty, pretty and pretty shredding each other's pretty clothes to bits in their ravenous eagerness to get it on with their pretty selves and shake the house down with their pretty screaming orgasms.

In Bitches...

Jilli: This all just leads back to my wanting Photoshop filters for real life, you realize.

Amych: Yeah, but think of all the people who'd be walking around with bad drop shadows and dumb sparkly highlights and shit.

wolfram:

Spoiler prudes be us.

connie neil:

I'll occasionally ask spoilers to tea on the veranda, but I never invite them inside.

wolfram:

A spoiler tease and a number slut.

Theodosia :

I insist the spoilers never touch me there.

connie neil:
