Does Jilli have this is her house? [link]
If not, why not?
I want it in my house!
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

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.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
When you listen to a person call baseball for more than 20 years, you get kind of attached. Skip Caray [link] had sly sense of humor, and I laughed during almost every game he called. He famously hated to once again explain the infield fly rule, so callers to his call-in show kept asking him to and his refusals or 15-second explanations became more and more funny. He pretended a magical knowledge of where fans who caught balls were from. "That was a great catch by a fan from Hahira, Ga., who brought his glove to the game." He went along with every crazy scheme to bring people to the stadium back when the team sucked, including riding an ostrich, but also got to call "Braves win! Braves win!" in the worst-to-first season. He died today at age 68.
I just discovered that if you've had stomach cramps for two days, it hurts to cry. This weekend really officially sucked.

Because Pete is a crazyhead who doesn't like the design of it. Believe me, I want it.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Is the price on that drake fixture right? Because if so, pretty as it is (and it really is pretty) I'd have to side with Pete on that one.

Because Pete is a crazyhead who doesn't like the design of it. Believe me, I want it.
Because it doesn't have a shred of actual elegance. Taking a long rod and shoving a bat on the end of it is not design.
It's also too long for anywhere in the house. people would end up smacking their chests - let alone heads - into it.
And all that for a bargain price of $1600. Yeah, um, no.
Sorry, it's overpriced, under-designed crap.
Not that I have opinions or anything...

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I thought McCain was the one whose natural-born-citizenshipness was in question. see?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Nope, threadslayer. Opinions - you don't have'em.
(Truth to tell, I liked the concept more than the execution myself. And hadn't actually clocked the price tag - being from Yorkshire, you can probably hear my horrified howls of "'OW much?????!!!" across the pond.

Yeah, I wouldn't pay 160 bucks for that, let along 1600.

I had the same thought. Um. Only my thought was $16. But that's probably more a reflection of my Scroogelike sense of what things should cost - the prospect of a light fitting costing more than 50 quid seems shocking to me.
(If I'd ever had to go shopping for light fittings, of course, this might not be the case.)
