Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

“We always find it funny that you can use sex to sell jewelry and cars, but you can’t use sex to sell condoms,”

How true, how true.

I didn't know but just learnt of the existence of condoms marketed towards women, which I think is a perfectly cromulent idea. Of course, not if it's as twee as the condom cases marketed towards women.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

You guys, this is where procrastination gets you: waiting to fulfill your continuing education requirements until the last minute and taking the only class that fulfills your requirements:The Transfer of Development Rights Under NYC Zoning Law. At least I have my blackberry for the next three hours.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Then the silver jumpsuit.

Cool thing about the jumpsuit - you wear it at work with your fellow moonbase crew. Then when your shift ends, you remove the sleeves and legs (they zip on and off), put on a metallic skirt, and go on dates with your fellow moonbase crew.

Any chance that second locale is a gay bar?

Submarine. From which airborne interceptors are launched.

Ah. Navy. All is made clear.

Bon, I must admit that I haven't read through the title of your class. I tried twice, but got distracted. Maybe later.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

From which airborne interceptors are launched.

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

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

Cool thing about the jumpsuit - you wear it at work with your fellow moonbase crew. Then when your shift ends, you remove the sleeves and legs (they zip on and off), put on a metallic skirt, and go on dates with your fellow moonbase crew.

Surely you've seen this video then.

Yes. Even their undies are shiny!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I want to COMM the ita and tommy exchange, but can't work out how much of the backgroud I'd need.

Why is the big big big boss coming in from Chicago tomorrow?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I started with the big-collared clothes, and I ended up at hot mods. Many of them are sweet, all of them look to be labours of love, but that Batmobile one does naughty things to my insides.

In my head there's a segue here, so bear with me. I've realised that the man for me is Lawrence from Dr Who S3 ep10 (Blink). I'm not sure if he's the man I want, or he's the man I deserve, but he's quite certainly a man I understand.

I love the hot rodding CPUs.

Yeesh. I was just reading the big news story on the busted pedophile ring.

Unbelievably horrific. Almost kind of hard to believe. It's more like a horror movie or an internet scare piece than reality.
