Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers  

[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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Maybe heroin would help with my anxiety!
Very calming. And great for your skin as well.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

(I think it does have dehydrating effects)

It is a diuretic.

Because books.

Does that mean I would have to pee less if I just stuck with the heroin?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Frammis is a useful non-word. Mechanics use it a lot. "Your frammis valve is flummoxed and it's going to take a brazillion dollars to fix it."

Poop less too, since narcotics are extremely constipating.

It's a wonder we're not a nation of junkies.

What is even happening?

It probably is the tannins, David. I miss my decaf tea. I loved it so. It made me drink more water too, as Amy mentions.

I have a feeling people in my house are going to be hearing it a lot.

Thanks, Cass. Love you, too. Found out about the bomb on "Countdown" last night...glad to hear it was really as little a thing as the news says.ETA: depends how you define 'drug of choice', Hecubus.

Me, too. As in, "Get your frammis to the table and start doing your homework."

The role you were born to play, bunk. Seriously.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Okay, people, I have a question.

When a person sneezes, you say "Bless you." (Or, perhaps, "God bless you" or "Gesundheit.") The sneezer generally says "Thank you."

However, the bless-er generally does NOT -- at least in my experience -- say "You're welcome."

Chatty!co-worker DOES say "You're welcome" in the above exchange, and it drives me BATSHIT.

Here's my question: can anyone figure out WHY that drives me batshit? Why exactly it seems patently WRONG for someone to say "You're welcome" after some one thanks them for a "Gesundheit"?

Because I have no clue why I react this way, other than "It's just....WRONG!"

t edit Answering "Because you're CRAZY," while technically a correct answer, isn't really the answer I'm looking for. I *know* I'm crazy.
