I am trying so hard to block the memory of ita's whitefont. Or to convince myself that it was figurative rather than literal.
I am a large, semi-muscular man. I can take it. Don't hide behind Mal 'cause you know he'll shoot it down for you. Tell me.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

If you listen closely, you can hear Pete shaking his head. He's been telling me I can't have a pet ocelot for years now
I for one am disappointed that we are denied a goth Honey West.

Or to convince myself that it was figurative rather than literal.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I'm suddenly having an image of Jilli, with an ocelot (or fishing cat) wearing a collar in pink with lots of black lace ruffles ....
How about a cheetah? they come with their own eyeliner?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Thanks y'all. I'm starting the day off right by being late to work.
Also I sent that ocelot/fishing cat/whatever link to my bro to see if the text provides any explanation. Explanation other than Russians Is Crazy, that is.

Not long before Mary Queen of Scots had her own head chopped off, she had this bone chilling silver skull watch made. The case is opened by dropping the under jaw, which turns upon a hinge, while the watchworks occupy the place of the brain.
Likely one of the earliest examples of horological "Memento Mori" (artistic reminders of ones mortality).
It is believed Mary gave this watch as a gift to Mary Seaton, one of her maids of honor. The skull is of silver gilt and is engraved with lines of Horace, figures of Death with his scythe and hourglass, Adam and Eve, and the Crucifixion. The lower part of the skull is pierced to emit the sound when it strikes, being cut in the form of emblems of the Crucifixion. The works occupy the brain's position in the skull fitting into a silver bell which fills the entire hollow of the skulL The hours are struck on this bell by a small hammer on a separate train..
