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.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

She tucks them in, says, "G'night Ba-man. G'night Soopman."

And then she makes them kiss each other.

Hee! Wow, so DCU is going to be her first slash fandom?

And look at the various Buffista babies, with the writing and the signing of things. Neat!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

It's looking like. Unless I start sharing the Remus/Sirius stuff with her.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Sigh. I'm reading about elementary school math programs. (Long story -- started out as looking up the program that a girl I might be tutoring uses, then started getting interested and reading about others.) One of the ones that gets a lot of press is Saxon Math -- it's a much more traditional approach than a lot of the others currently popular. And the word problems tend to be kind of fanciful things -- like, if there are five gnomes in the vegetable garden, and six gnomes in the rose garden, how many gnomes are there altogether? Anyway, I just found a page with someone objecting to this program because some of the word problems around the upper elementary and middle school levels involve medieval weaponry, and that's clearly a scheme to bring kids into playing D&D, which is just a front for devil worship.

(I remember in fourth grade, we'd keep a count of how many names from each ethnicity turned up in word problems in each chapter. It was exactly the same count in each chapter. Even at age nine, we thought this was incredibly condescending, that they thought we'd all be racists if we didn't have a perfectly balanced math book. I'm not sure that was the reasoning, but that was how we all interpreted it.)

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 knew Batman was gay (hello! Boy Wonder!!) But Superman!?! OMG!

I think Supes goes both ways.

Really really fast.

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

So if Superman can travel so fast that he goes back in time, he could travel back in time and have sex with himself....

Just so I could watch.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

o god, what have I started?

hey, random question. Is CSI/Police not allowed to turn on the lights? Seems they use flashlights an awful lot. (can you guess what I'm watching right now?)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

no, they lead to Doom, and Devil pwnership.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

My wank on that is that the flashlights in with dim ambient lighting help them find odd bits and pieces of shiny things that they might not otherwise see. Like if you drop your contact lens you turn out the light and use a flashlight.
