Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Chatty!co-worker made pirate hats for us, thanks to Quark and tabloid-sized printer paper.

Soon there will be a picture.

I hate my brain most of the time too.

Hmmm, I think my comment may have come off differently than I intended.

I'm glad that Chatty co-worker is also crafty with pirate-themed accessories! Rather than just talking your face off.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Hmmm, I think my comment may have come off differently than I intended.

No, it didn't. It's just that I forgot to use my sarcasm font.

D got his first 7th grade report card. All A's except for an 88 in AP Math. I would close the proud Auntie tag, but that doesn't seem to work.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Sox, I am gobsmacked by your hosts.

I'm also having a bitch of a time keeping the kids out of my MiL's stupid tchotzkies (sp?).

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

::snorts, mainlines, rubs it in my hair and all over::

Well, hi! How is everybody?

Oh--um. Thanks, Sail. Now to go be productive.

I say tschotchkes, Cash, but I'm probably (oh, like this is news) a little a/r about it. I've also seen it as chotchkes.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I bow to someone with superior knowledge.

...doesn't mean I won't throw a couple extra letters in there from time to time. Also? (Hugs amych. Just 'cause.)

“Not dead yet!”

I'm listening to the Pirates soundtrack and betaing a pirate-y short story for a friend.

I'm also pouting because of something I'd wanted for my birthday but didn't get.

(Opens with a shot of the Holiday Inn hotel. Cut to an activities board that reads: 1:00 Schwartz Bar Mitzvah 4:00 Real Estate Seminar 7:30 Pirate Convention. Growling is heard and dissolves to room decorated with pirate stuff, big skull banner with cross bones. A group of about 10 guys dressed in authentic pirate attire. Eye patches, hats, bandannas, scarfs,wild hair, the whole 9 yards. Red beard Pete has a parrot on his shoulder, he is at the podium)

Peter Sarsgaard: You can call me Peter.

Red Beard Pete: No, thank you.

Peter Sarsgaard: Ok, well it´s an honor to be here. I don´t know a lot about pirate culture but when my agent told me about this convention I immediately said yes. I´m always up for experiencing new things so I hope to learn as much from you guys as you may from me.

Red Beard Pete: Ok, time for Q/A. Ok, who will be having a question for Sarsgaard?

Dinkins: Yes, yes. Do ye be knowing what the film "The Wedding Crashers" was rated?

Peter Sarsgaard: Not of the top of my head but I think there was some nudity so maybe it was rated "R"?

All pirates: R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R!!!!!

Arthur: You worked with many talented actors over the years. Have ye ever worked with cross dressing Corporal Klinger from "MASH"?

Peter Sarsgaard: You mean Jamie Farr?

All Pirates: FAAAA-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R!!!!

Peter Sarsgaard: No, I´ve never worked with him.

Arthur: Ok.

Bartholomew: What be the name of the best web site to see people make love to barnyard animals?

Peter Sarsgaard: I don´t know. Umm, maybe animalloveclub.com?

Bartholomew: No, not that one. I was thinking loveinthebarnyard.or-r-r-r-r-r-rg!!

All pirates: OO-R-R-R-R-R-RG!!!!

Bartholomew: Arr,(takes out notepad)what be the name of that first one again?

Peter Sarsgaard: It´s animalloveclub.com.

Bartholomew: Animal,(writes on notepad)dot com, thank you.

Pirate 1: What be your favorite food chain that specializes in roast beef sandwiches?

Peter Sarsgaard:(sighs, catching on)Arby´s?

All pirates: A-R-R-R-R-R-RBY´S!!!!

Peter Sarsgaard: Ok, ok, all right I think I see what´s going on here. You guys don´t know anything about me do you? The only reason you have me here is because my name has a bunch of "R" sounds in it.

Red Beard Pete: No way, Sarsgaar-r-r-d!!

Peter Sarsgaard: Really?

Red Beard Pete: We are (continued...)
