he he ... I remember in my intellectually challenged high school we were reading Julius Caesar and, rather than have to listen to the barely-literate try to stumble through the reading, the teacher put on a recording of actors reading it (with added emotion!). That's when I discovered that we were using the Bowlderized version ... 'cause Brutus's wife tells him to come to bed.
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I am brilliant. I scheduled a meeting with my coworker just prior to my weekly meeting from hell.
In the spa room.
With alcohol.
I don't think we'll give a shit what is said in WMfH.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I am back. Pretty much.
The Semester That Ate My Brain is over
*weak yay!*

We interrupt this post for a brief earthquake. So Cal is so cool.
Slacker!Co-Worker is back from extended sick time/disability/back problems, etc.
And I miss you guys, so now that my biggest timesucks are over, I declare myself returned (tentatively).
So, how's everyone? Places chin in hands, ready to listen attentively.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
In the spa room.
Your perks are not like my human perks.
With alcohol.
Nope. Not at all like.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Vortex - speaking as someone who is a hardcore procrastinator, hit 'em where they live. Otherwise they'll end up like me.

The status is NOT quo.
Okay, I'm officially an Angelino. That was a scary quake, though thankfully it was short.

Ann, that's a ferret.
My school system was a little different. 8th grade got Midsummer Night's Dream (which I didn't read, because we moved into that district after I finished 8th grade), freshman got Merchant of Venice, sophomores got Julius Caesar.
For junior and senior years, we had to take four one-semester courses, with at least one each in literature, writing, and speaking. My sophomore English teacher warned us away from English Lit, so I took World Lit. So, no Shakespeare for me then.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Hope everyone is OK after the earthquake.

From San Diego it was just a kinda fun quake, but I thought it felt pretty long. Anyway, congrats on your official initiation!
