That's wonderful, Daniel!
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

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.

I had one person tell me they wouldn't read such things because the stories were "too old to be any good".
did you tell them that they were "too stupid to be any good"

partial domesticated man question: Stoneware cook/bake stuff. Can it be put in the dishwasher? I'm thinking no since they say just scrape it and not use soap, but I can't find the use/care slip that came with them, and I'm doing loads to clean everything before putting on shelves.
What? Why would you think I'm avoiding filling out insurance forms? what would ever make you think that?

ok. I think I got all the forms filled out. And the online forms asking the same bloody things. Why do I have to do it in two places? No clue. I rather prefer the HR person walking you through the forms, I hope I did it right.
Night bitches!

o_a, You can, but it should not always be necessary. I have a pizza stone that I scrape well with a knife laid flat against the surface. That usually works just fine, but once the thing got a bit green and a quick run through the dishwasher did the trick.
Good on ya for washing everything before shelving it. I love doing that. Makes the move feel like a real fresh start.

I've got a request for the lovers of language among us...which I'll x-post in Great Write.
I've written a workplace communication workshop...Avoid the Evils of Email!...which is all about increasing productivity and reducing misunderstandings through more effective email communication.
One of my points is about using the right words for the right message vs. generic terms that don't communicate one's actual meaning.
So, I'm looking for snippets (1-3 sentences) of your favorite evocative literature. Examples that stand alone and have left you thinking, "Heh. That was clever/cool/effective."
It matters not where the snippet comes from and I'd be happy to receive them here or via my profile addy.
[tenting fingers in anticipation] I can't wait to see what this brainiac crowd comes up with!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Congrats, Daniel! That's fantastic!

Daniel, that is SO exciting!
o_a, running stoneware through the dishwasher occasionally is a good idea, but don't put soap in that cycle. One of the great things about stoneware is that it seasons over time. So, if you add soap, for a while, your pizza is gonna taste like soap. So, no soap.
Nora and I had SUCH a good Bitch time last night. You all would have totally approved. SO MUCH FUN. We must do again soon.

Brain not yet on (~5:40 A.M.). I keep thinking "Call me Ismael", and that is probably not what you are looking for.
