[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

Oh wait - I think I recall the existence of business calc at UW-Madison. Gawd, I'm surprised at how much stuff back then I've forgotten....

Compassionately intolerant

Happy expletive-laden birthday erika!

I just think it's hilarious that by "real dad" I mean her legal owner.

A dog park friend presented her new arrival last night with the story that the pooch had been liberated from his 'owners' by family members who were disgusted with the neglect he had suffered.

Who buys a Chinese Crested and then lets it get sunburned (to the point of extensive blistering) and malnourished? Apparently, the husband bought it for the ever-so-trend conscious wife who then ignored it.

Thank goodness, other family members scooped him up and gave him to my dog park friend who already has the world's ugliest little dog. Miles is a Chihuahua mixed with something truly wiry and underbity and really, really ugly. The new family member is bald all over, with black spots on pink skin and an Andy Warhol (on a bad day) 'do.

He's got scraggly white wiry hairs on his back...about 30 total. My buddy she said could have the random hairs shaved off. All I could ask was...does she honestly think that would improve the dog's look. I mean really.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

How did I not know that Tom was a brewer as well as an afficionado? Is this a recent thing?

He's been doing it for about a year now I think... He just brewed his second Birthdays Brown Ale this past weekend- the first Birthdays Brown was his first beer- came out of a beginner's box kit. (Birthdays because both of our birthdays are in early/mid Sept.)

Lessee... he's done ... the first Brown Ale, a crazy ass porter (for Thanksgiving) a holiday spiced mild (which we weren't too crazy about at first but aged into something half decent toward the end), an Ordinary Bitter, an American Pale Ale dryhopped with Amarillo hops, the American Wheat, and 2 Rye IPAs. I feel like I'm forgetting something there though.

ETA: his recent session-strength Saison, just bottled, and the Belgian style "not-so" pale ale.

That's so sad. I'm glad to hear the dog is now in a good home.

I just think it's hilarious that by "real dad" I mean her legal owner.

Our neighbors (who have adult children) have a bassett hound named Leo. This morning, the husband was sitting on the step and Ellie said, "Hi, Leo's daddy!" I don't think he caught it because he doesn't speak English, but I thought it was cute.

Tom placed 2nd in his category of American Wheat/Rye Beers

That's so cool! I don't generally like beer, but we had a friend who brewed his own when we lived in Washington and it was so good.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Advice por favor - Joe and I are having a Halloween/Housewarming party. A friend emailed and asked if kids were allowed. I don't know how to say No in a nice way.

How I say?

"we are planning on having an adults-only party... god knows we can definitely use the break ourselves!"

Tell them that because the party will be late/alcohol/whatever, Em will be with a babysitter and it won't be a very kid friendly party.

I like Nora's idea too.
