'The Message'
[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.
See, Fay, I'm sure you're thinking that you can't but surely the embarrassment if he turns you down or any social awkwardness is but a drop in the ocean compared to the emotional torture of not having tried and then someone else snaps him up.
Don't go through life regretting that you didn't ask. Where would I be if I hadn't asked out Jilli, eh?
if you ask him out, I'll ask out the FedEx girl.
Hey, Fay, can we ask him out for you?
TV is totally bumming me out. These peopledo not exist. Why must they do this to me?
People who do exist, ita: people at the drag show I went to in portland with my friend Broch and with....er, shoot, what's her name here? Erin Obscure? and Cass...
Fay, listen to Pete. Take his advice.

Help, I married a mush-monster!
At least your significant other is not sitting three feet away from you listening to the original Disney "Adventure Through Inner Space" ride dialogue and sound track. "...but though your body will shrink, your mind will expand...CAN THIS BE THE THRESHOLD OF INNER SPACE?" (creepy faux 60's space sounds)
Fay, what they said. ASK. He sounds fantastic! And you ARE fantastic. Match made in heaven.
Pete, that is because you are completely ADORABLE !
Yes, Fay, ask!
I'm reading the Washington Post series on childhood obesity. The writing and reporting are both horrible. (Well, the writing I'm used to -- I frequently have an urge to take a red pen to the Post.) First article, they keep using the terms "overweight" and "obese" without defining either one, and frequently using them as synonyms. They cite "studies by scientists" without giving any information about these studies.
Then, there's a sidebar about finding "healthy" foods that your kids will eat. Mac and cheese from a box (some of the ones they mentioned are at least whole wheat, others aren't), pasta with tomato sauce, and chicken and hamburgers. The chicken and hamburgers are the only things they mention that don't come out of a box or bag or jar, and they don't mention anything at all about getting lean cuts -- just, hamburgers and chicken. And serve them with frozen french fries, which they don't mention can be baked rather than fried.

...they're citing these as the HEALTHY things?? Dear god, what are the bad things??
