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.

Well, now *I* need stripey tights!!!

Of course you do. And this is the time of year to stock up on them. The ones that Wallgreens usually has for Halloween are just as good as the tights that Hot Topic and other gothy-themed stores sell.

the phrase "Oh, I didn't realize he was uncircumsized" is burned into my brain from the first batch.

It's the kind of thing one remembers.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Happy Birthday, Trudy and Kara!

The status is NOT quo.

Sigh.

To add to the joys of 2008, apparently I have a Very Christian parent who is reading Catcher in the Rye for the first time and is very upset that it was assigned as summer reading. She apparently was worried that last year's reading in 8th grade was "too heavy." Our reading list this year for 9th? Catcher, excerpts from the Bible, Lord of the Flies, Medea, The Odyssey, The Penelopiad, poetry, and Macbeth.

Um.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Aims, I wouldn't get worried until she starts demanding a candy bra.

Although it occurs to me - having his dear daughter pleading, and then throwing a full-scale tantrum, might give MM the incentive he needs to GET THE TRANSPORTER WORKING.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I have purple and black sparkley stripey tights. They're waiting for this dress to arrive: [link]

I swear, half the reason I'm starting a band is to wear stuff like this on stage.

Isn't all the world a stage?

And I saw that in the catalog and thought it might appeal to some of the Buffistas.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Our reading list this year? Catcher, excerpts from the Bible, Lord of the Flies, Medea, The Odyssey, The Penelopiad, poetry, and Macbeth.

Um.

You're teaching them good Christian values like prejudice, ambition, murder, traveling, and rhyming!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Happy birthday, Trudy! I wish you career success, financial liberty and hot sweaty men in little to no clothing!

hah! yes, it is a great excuse for all kinds of ridiculous fun clothing! Saturday at my neighborhood festival we are going all nautical like we did when Perkins & Juliana saw us in Vegas.

What's the story with your band? Are you starting it with folks you know? What will you be doing in it (aside from dressing fab and having a good time)?
