Hey! What a surprise! Hostile 17! Can I get you a drink, Hostile 17?

Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...  

[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.

I have to admit, I still think good old-fashioned ASCII emoticons are kind of clever, but code that turns them into animated things wigs me out.

In places that are not here, I am fine with old-fashioned ASCII emoticons. But the animated things! No, not even the fact that there are animated bat smiley things will sway me.

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

Tep and amych, that is an interesting idea. I have one friend who sprinkles her e-mails with rampant "lol"s that make little sense to me, but I am not out and about in the wild internets enough to see it much, so I thought it was just a personal tic of hers. I don't think of her as having the nervous laughter habit because that's not part of our conversational discourse, but it is a big part of how she talks to, for example, men.

The laugh isn't because they consider themselves such wags, but because it's a nervous habit, or possibly ingrained self-denigration.

"Please forgive me for daring to express myself, I am harmless, see?"

Though it's not as bad as people who will say simply anything because silence between people frightens them.

I've been trying to decide if these people are better or worse than the ones who talk constantly because they love the sound of their own bloviating (and they are always bloviators).

Maybe kill them all and let hell sort them out?

This is actually something we worked extensively in the first level of the (intense, full contact) self defense class I took. It's a problem for a lot of women.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Okay, who took my mojo?

If I remember my cinema correctly, it was Dr. Evil.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

My boss's boss does this. She has also referred to herself as a "dumb bunny" in meetings. I wanted to slap her.

Compassionately intolerant

I want to marry Teppy's lolrant and have its little ranty babies.

Let's make it a poly-rant.

I could not agree more.
