you'd do better with 'World Famous Magic Artist".
God knows I get several oos and ahhs when I point at a card and say, "I know him."
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[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.

Our wings are not tired
Huh, when I say that to people they usually reply, "Well isn't that adorable."

Connie; I am constantly amused by this fact.
ND: OTL.

Eh, you have a measly list. I've got a roster.
And you, my friend, are on it.
Time to get on my plane.

Pffft.
Halo-beatings await you.
And, I suppose to be fair, I should get a racer sometime too.

It's especially fun when I'm wearing the Perky Goth shirt, then I pull "Devil Bunny Wants A Ham" off the shelf and say, "I understand this joke, too. Who wants to touch me?"
Yeah, the urge to play "cooler than thou" never seems to go away.

Heh, at the gothic con I was at recently, I was hanging out in the lobby and a group of strangers sat nearby cracked open some Cheapass games and a copy of Chez Dork. I found myself mighily amused as I knew the designers & artists of all the games, and am married to one of the game's characters.
It made me chuckle.
Of course, maybe not as much as my barista this morning who asked me if I'd ever heard of a guy called Frank Frazetta...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We sent in a counteroffer this week on the house we really REALLY want. Since we are negotiating with a huge faceless bank, we have no way of knowing whether they are going to counter back or are going to say they already countered once and how DARE we ask for a lower price and that we can't have it at any amount and flounce off in a bankish way. Our real estate agent doesn't know either--she hasn't been able to get a real person on the phone over there. She says not to worry, but, well, we are.
Large corporation-ma would be appreciated for the next few days.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Is it a foreclosure Robin? Those can take a while. It's pretty normal to wait while banks run it through their various bureaucraxies.

Back from yummy lunch at the Ferry Building with Megan and Julianna. (Their treat.)
Ahhhh. Food. Tasty food. I remember that!
