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.
so you can get Chinese food with a root beer float.

Hil, will there be pictures for your Mrs. Lovett hair?
I haven't seen the movie yet, but my brother got me the original cast recording and I'm listening to that right now. AIFG!
Full of turkey, stuffing, potato, and gravy.
Just finished participating in Laga's family gift exchange. All items supposed to be under $1. Quite an interesting tradition. Now there is a furry of activity in the kitchen as a million people cook their dish. I'd offer to help, but I think I'd upset the organized chaos that is happening.
They have furries in the kitchen? Who's wearing the badger costume?
If there's a furry of activity with badgers, there must be a snake.
Mmm. Mushroom. Mushroom.
Unless they are in Kenya.
Christmas at a working Westen cattle ranch is a trip. First everyone was roping cattle mannequns in the backyard before dinner, then we had real tacos with beef from the ranch, and we ended with a white elephant gift exchange in which I won a cattle-pult with plastic cows to shoot at people. The night ended with an invite to come out and ride a day on the ranch with the cowboys (which would likely kill me, but I'm so going to take them up on it someday). Too much fun. This is my aunt's family in Oracle, AZ, and it's about as real as the Wild West gets these days.
