This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hey! There's a 2.50 delivery charge! Now I feel not so bad about my paltry $2 tip.

I am so having pizza! I am so going to have to work my ass off at the gym tomorrow! And yet, PIZZA!

Yay pizza!

Anything for a weird life.

irritated about discussing assholedome

Dad's home! Stinks, but home. (Honestly, I had no idea I was so worried until he'd arrived and I'd talked to him. No camel kicks No cliffs fallen off!!)

I look more rad than Lutheranism

This place looks right-ish, but do I really care enough to spend $6 on shipping to risk it? Unclear.

I've ordered discontinued stuff from there (eyeliner, which I quickly rejected once I discovered Urban Decay's 24/7 liner, but that has nothing to do with the vendor of the discontinued stuff), and they were pretty quick and easy to deal with, FWIW.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Congrats, Tamara! It must be productive screwing around.

whoa, I so read that the wrong way.

My take on trepanation is that I'd like to see it recommended by someone who hasn't done a ton of acid. Because dude, I went to Berkeley and I've met people who've done a ton of acid--hell, I lived with some--and it can leave its traces.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

French translation request!

"My horse! Hold your fire--he has my horse!"

And I also have some questions for those familiar with horses...

The stolen horse in the above exclamation is an experienced and well-trained officer's mount, so he's accustomed to the sounds of battle. My scene opens with the horse being led around a stable yard by his groom, waiting for his owner to come out for his morning ride. A group of soldiers lurking in the woods nearby open fire, killing or disabling the groom and two other men nearby, but not hitting the horse. How would the horse react? Bolt? Scuttle back to the barn? Neither?

The character who takes him has turned horse thief because he feels guilty over the fact his friend/commanding officer's horse died while he was riding him on a scouting expedition, and he intends the new horse as a present for the friend/CO. How could the first horse have died, preferably in a way that's not my character's fault but that he could feel guilty about anyway? I thought of stepping in a rabbit hole, but that seems too cliche. They're in moderately rough/hilly country, FWIW, and the horsie that has to die is a fine Irish-bred hunter.
