Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness  

[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? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

While Ex-Boss is indeed an asshat and shady and immoral, he is within the law to not pay the vacation days.

Within the law, but still unbelievably douchey. And worthy of either the phone call Sparky mentioned or of a comment on his Craigslist post if it's still up.

That's the kind of thing I'd want to know right away about a new job, so I could either be aggressive about taking the leave I'd earned when I wanted, be damned to his weasely passive-aggressive attempts to talk me out of it--or else decide the job wasn't worth it, and not even apply.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I want to live in a world where giddy teenagers with no tact and little sense can gross me out regardless of their orientations, then develop what I would consider a sense of decorum.

Bwahaha! Oh, so much this.

I Am Already Impatiently Waiting For You To Go Away Or Die And It Is Only By Dint Of A Herculean Effort Of Will That I Am Not Rolling My Eyes And Stabbing You In The Face.

Damnit, MM stole my sash. Though mine would probably just read "Not Your Mom (Unless I Actually Am. Hi, Honey!)"

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

JZ, you also need a button that says, "I stapled my pants."

People, bear in mind that I just know where to look stuff up, and can (generally) translate it from Medical to English.

I do know this, and greatly appreciate it.

I don't want a sash. I've learned again over the last few days that I'm not ready to display my patches yet. I still only share them once I know you're not going to throw them in my face -- or I throw it in your face when you say something completely stupid and uneducated.

Stapled to my sash.

I've been watching a metric assload of Friends and HIMYM lately, and am waffling between changing my tagline to "I've got a fishook in my eyebrow... and I LIKE IT." (Joey's acting advice for The Look Of Eeeevil) or "A drunken jackass called God and a box of pencils called DESTINY!" but, although they both speak to me, neither one is shouting. So, for the time being, I continue to have stapled my pants.

I was watching Friends the other night on TBS and was reminded that "my diamond shoes are too tight" is from there. I had completely forgotten that. Did it originate on Friends? I guess I could Google, but I haven't had coffee yet.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

That's where I first heard it.

I still have the mad Friends love. Even the later seasons, Joey still made me laugh. "JOEY DOESN'T SHARE FOOD!!!!"

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I wouldn't want to display my patches either. Well, maybe just one that says, "Don't assume you know anything about me."

Oh, me too. Me too. I only have the first two season on DVD, but someday I will have them all.
