OK, so... why is AARP sending me membership stuff? Seriously, I might feel like I'm getting old, but I am definitely not that old....
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

[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.

I remember how peeved Hubby was when he first got a piece of mail from them. Then how peeved I was when a funeral insurance ad came on TV aimed at people born in years from 1964 to 1919. Damn it, I know I could be hit by a bus tomorrow, but please!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Is this a boy thing?
No, at least not where Napolean Dynamite is concerned -- most of my co-workers quote it pretty constantly too (male and female).

Maybe because a fifties lamp could be a lot of different styles and Mid-Century Modern is specific style? One of those lamps with a Bullfighter base and a red silk shade is fifties, right?
What she said! Only, I wasn't going to use question marks. MCM is a style ref like "Deco" that's tied loosely to a time period, but that isn't the only style going down at the time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hec, that article, although interesting (thanks again, flea!) didn't mention anything about house vs. field slaves.

The status is NOT quo.
That's why I'm mystified that Mom prefers ND.
Heh. Hee. I skimmed to the end and read this snippet out of context. I was about to pout: Hey! I thought your mom liked me better! She hasn't even MET ND yet!

Dang! Yeah, I didn't find the research I had mentioned in the other stuff I dug up either.
But I'm pretty sure the slave graveyard was in New York somewhere.
