Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.

[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.

Compassionately intolerant

The people who celebrate it could do a much better job than I'm doing.

I'm one of those and I think you did quite well there.

It is a sacred day that constitutes the last spoke on the wheel of the year. (Yule is considered the 'new' year.)

It's a time for feasting and communing with ancestors...calling for guidance and assistance through the dark months.

Pronounced, by many, as Sow-in.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Oatmeal:

I'm sure I pronounce Samhain wrong, even though I know the correct way to pronounce it -- I can't get my mouth to make the proper sounds. (I pronounce it, more or less, as "saw-ayn.")

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think most Americans pronounce it phonetically (SAM-hayne) until corrected.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Happy Birthday, Daniel!

Happy Anniversary, House Of Reason!!!

(Sorry, Pete, but Jilli's got the job suck right now so she gets the compensatory just-for-her color scheme)

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

Happy b-day Daniel!!

Happy Anniversary, Jilli & Pete!!!

It took me a bit to figure out that it's probably not a coincidence that the House of Reason's anniversary is on Halloween....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

How've you been pronouncing it?

Like it was an English word, sam-hain. I'm told that the middle consonant is more of a w sound. I think I'm going to avoid ever saying it outloud because I will not be able to remember what is correct, ever.

Yeah, it's pretty much Sow (to rhyme with cow) - in. In Irish the last syllable of words tends to get deadened a bit, so it sounds a bit like sow-un too. Yeah, a cross between sow-in and sow-un.

Happy Anniversary House of Reason!

Happy Birthday, Daniel!

It's house buying day and I have to go to the bank.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

Happy House Buying Day, Sparky!

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Jilli, I just directed my favorite little baby-goth to your website. If her mom finds out, I am so dead. Her mom is afraid that she's emo and dangerously dark, but this girl is truly awesome and healthy and well-adjusted. (She asked today if I thought thay she could get away with wearing a petticoat under her school uniform. I said no, but I couldn't help giggling sympathetically.)
