Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Happy birthday little Casper!

Can't wait to get home and listen to paperdol's interview!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My lunch is calling me.

My lunch is calling me.

What's it calling you? "Murderer! Devourer!"

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

As much as I enjoy watching politicians crash and burn in sex scandals, I'm pretty peeved that Minnesota is still running sting operations for men propositioning other men. It may be happening in a skeevy way, but unless there's money involved it shouldn't be any more a jailable offense than the construction workers and carfulls of horny teenagers that proposition women in public all the time.

Geriatric closeted senators need love too.

No. It's calling to me. It's making promises of being tasty.

It sounds a little like Fergie, actually, though I'm pretty sure my lunch is not Fergilicious.

You know what is sad? In my head, this conjures up a picture of a plump redheaded ex-member of the British royal family, and only belatedly do I try to come up with what the reportedly-lumpy rap musician looks like.

Help! My brain is stuck in 1992!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm ok with busting people for screwing in bathrooms.

Granted, by virtue of gender defined bathrooms these couples will tend to be homosexual. I'm still ok with it.

Screwing in bathrooms would be indecent exposure and public lewdness. Asking someone if they want to screw shouldn't be an indictable offense, whether it happens in a bathroom or a singles bar. If the cop had caught Craig in a state of undress or actually performing a sexual act with someone in a public place, I'd have no problem with him being arrested.

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

Fergie raps? I'm out of touch enough to not be sure she does much more than pee herself in public. Oh, and the "Let's Get Retarded" song. My sister was startled I hadn't heard the lump song, but that's kinda why I don't listen to the radio.
