I am ready to kill me some cow-workers up in here. STABBY MCFUCKIN STAB!
I may have to alter what is rapidly becoming my signature sound effect.
*Stabby McFuckin' stab stab!* *SPLURCHsqueeky*
Early: You folks are all insane. Simon: Well, my sister's a ship. We had a complicated childhood.
'Objects In Space'
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.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
No. No, Joe, no. Never, ever change your signature sound effect. I don't know about anyone else, but I am rapidly coming to depend on the peculiar consolation that *Stabby McFuckin' stab stab!* *SPLURCHsqueeky* provides.
Work today is going to be... super meh! Most people are working on a 10-hour/9-day schedule with every other Friday off, which will surely rock in coming years but doesn't work at all for households with two working parents and wee children. So it'll be very, very silent today. I plan to (a) purge the 80 billion files left behind by my predecessor's predecessor, (b) finish Matilda's stocking, and (c) drink all the coffee in the building.
Also possibly have a decent lunch. Yesterday was supposed to be the admin dim sum lunch, but for some reason it got changed to the admin overpriced yuppie bistro lunch (the place may actually have been called "b: a bistro").
Some people had flank steak approximately the size of an extra-large egg; some people had charred press sandwiches; I had something almost, but not entirely, unlike Greek salad (no cucumber, but yes potato? WTF?).
After our plates were cleared we all sat around sadly looking at each other and realized, all at the same time, that we were still INCREDIBLY FUCKING HUNGRY, so hungry we could have eaten each other, except we were around the corner from the Metreon instead of lost in the howling Arctic. We got dessert to stave off the worst of the pangs, and my thoughts on taking my first bite of cheesecake were, "Huh. This is pretty okay. I'd forgotten how much I like cheesecake. Gee, I wish I had some cheesecake."
Today, better lunch. Which shouldn't be hard. The bar is now set very, very low indeed.

Well, I meant that the sound effect WAS:
*Stabbity stab stab!* *SPLURCH!squeeky*
It could NOW be:
*Stabby McFuckin' stab stab!* *SPLURCH!squeeky*
In any incarnation there shall ever be *SPLURCH!squeeky*

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The "squeeky" is important, as it tells you there's enough friction to hold the head in place....

For me, it's the SPLURCH! that really makes it sing.
And McFuckin' is a great addition to the effect. It really adds that je ne sais quoi.

Yes, the SPLURCH is essential too.
The whole thing really is much better than the sum of its parts.

Okay, then, we're all agreed: *Stabby McFuckin' stab stab* *SPLURCH!squeeky* is the new pink.

I dunno - maybe I'm a classicist, but I like the pre-McFuckin' one slightly more. Not sure why - maybe the McFuckin distracts somewhat from the violence of the thing.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
It's not the distraction from the violence that I mind -- McFuckin throws the rhythm off.

OK, I can see that.
