Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[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.

“Not dead yet!”
Okay, I lied, because this sounds wicked good--
Vuaka Kei Na Ura Tavuteke (Pan-fried fillets of pork and shrimp with asparagus, broccoli and vudi [plantains] in orange sauce.)
And based on our Khorkina discussion, this bit of narrative from the cookbook had me snorting Diet Coke up my nose:
The first impression I got from the emu I encountered in semi-captivity within an animal park in Australia was hostility. A wire fence separated us, and I was glad for the barrier. The animal stalked over to me, fixed me with a beady eye, opened its powerful beak and exhaled vorcibly and rather foully in my face. I then commenced to strut back and forth on its large, three-toed feet, like a drill sergeant reprimanding a recruit. I promptly abandoned any attempts at encouraging friendship.
A few days later, at a chic bush-food restuarant in Canberra, I retaliated. I ordered emu satay with a citrus-honey glaze. [...] (I suspect this particular emu had placed first in the 1600-mile race around the Great Australian Bight region between Perth and Adelaide. The meat was well exercised, in a word--tough.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Hec, we should talk about planning Dylan and Matilda's wedding. We already have plenty of adorable videos to show and embarrass them with!

Stanford pays crap, Vortex. UCB paid (much) better for admin/staff/library positions. But it would be a nice place for them to fly you out for an interview.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I think I've mentioned that my office windows look out on a lovely shady patio, which means that every smoker in the whole university comes to take their breaks outside my window? And that the uninsulated old leaded glass windows mean that I can hear every last word that's said out there, including ugly screaming breakups, financial details, and all kinds of suchlike? (And that the same windows lead to second-hand smoke nigh unto working in a bar)
And if so, I've also mentioned the one dude who spends 3 hours of every work day (two 45-minute smoke breaks and an hour and half lunch! I want that schedule!) loudly holding court to his female companions?
Well, all is forgiven.
He's been holding forth for the last half hour or so (in all caps. He talks in all caps. All the time) about I WAS TALKING TO BARBARA THIS ONE TIME, SHORTLY BEFORE SHE MURDERED HER HUSBAND.

Do you think he likes older women? I'm not sure if I could handle having a bright, cheerful, sweet natured, handsome son-in-law with cool parents.
