Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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

the amount he spends is gonna be more than she makes, at least for the sex he might have with her at the whorehouse

She's not just doing him, though. Her nightly take is liable to be larger than what he spends.

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

Well yeah, I was referring to just the sex that he might have with her (or some other prostitute.) So to maximize their money, she should continue to work "outside the home" during the time she's not having sex with her husband.

Maybe it was the dozen roses he had sticking out of the neck stump.

He mailed the cow's head to his wife's lover, not his wife.

D'oh. Second reading comprehension error I've made and posted on in the last five minutes (points to Boxed Set).

FCM: Pirates, Cavemen, Astronauts

Are we talking John Crichton Astronauts, or diaper-wearing kidnapper Astronauts? All crazies are not behotted equally...

That Myspace impersonator issue was on my mind while I was watching a Cold Case Tivo grabbed for me last night. On it, the girl's mother was online pretending to be her and pouring out her heart to a slightly older guy. The girl got involved a couple times when things came into meatspace--a note, a flower, a phone call, but most of the communication wasn't her.

So very messed up.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I think the FCM difference is definitely made over whether the sailors are gentlemen-yachters or dudes who run around the bowels of an aircraft carrier. Because, the former have nice muscles (if they pull their own lines) and the latter have nice swearing skills.

(I'm still not convinced race car driving is even a sport, any more than chess is a sport; and anyway, do they have any incentive toward nice muscles? I don't want to invest in a race car driver and then find, when he strips off the jumpsuit, that he's got a wafflefanny underneath.)

Don't have him take off the jumpsuit. Not all the way, anyway.
