You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

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.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Weird tipping question -- what do you do when two people split a service. I had my nails done today. One person did the skilled stuff (the fill and the shaping and whatnot) and one person just painted them. How do you tip on that?

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

One person did the skilled stuff (the fill and the shaping and whatnot) and one person just painted them. How do you tip on that?

Do you usually tip to the person? I just tip on the bill and then run.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Want to guarantee I'll haunt you? Make a montage of my life using "Hallelujah."

What if we use a version actually performed by Leonard Cohen? No played out John Cale or even (dare I say it) overplayed Jeff Buckley.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'd give half of what I would normally give to one person to each.

Our wings are not tired

Awesome! Do you have a time preference? I presume Sean and/or Laga know how to get to your place from the Museum of Jurassic Technology; we could come over after that.

No real time preference for me, and I might come along for the MJT as well.

Okay, it's time for me to think about some really needed sleep. I only got about 3 hours last night.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

With "Worms" at the graveside service?

Perfect for the after toast, I think. Maybe everybody could sing along to the "Worms."

I'd probably chicken out and tip at the cashier at the end and let them divide it out however...

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

What if we use a version actually performed by Leonard Cohen?

That might keep you from being haunted forever, although the Cohen song I'd pick would be "Anthem." Use the Jeff Buckley version and gnats will follow you everywhere, your faucets will run with blood, your bread will always fall butter side down and you'll never get a parking space again.

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

I can haz internets at the laundromat! The wireless, it haz a flavor.

Seriously, I'm grateful to the Deli in this strip mall for providing me with entertainment.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

If you planed Lenny's "The Future" you wouldn't be sorry you were dead. You'd think, "Yeah, fuck it."

Btw, did everybody note that he was voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? With Madonna, the Dave Clark Five and the Ventures? (Weird class)
