I have a bartender joke for Aimee.
::clears throat. Recites punchline in head first::
A camel walks into a bar.
He says, Bartender: The high balls are on me.
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.
'Safe'
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 not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
From Toddson's link:
The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice.
Is there a non-racial reading for that sentence? It leapt out for me because I've never seen it used otherwise.
I was hoping the article would name the colour of lipstick used in that illo. Not that I think it would work on me, precisely. A bit too much blue.

I was taking it literally, and just assumed it was a well-known saying (in wine circles, maybe?) I'd never heard before. But now that you say that... now it's reading all "licorice lips like candy" kinda thing.
(Oh good. Now I have "Black Boys/White Boys" running through my head. "Beautiful as girls....")

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice.
Huh. Now that you mention it, I can see it, but I was taking it that berries get darker as they ripen. Huh.

Being high yellow I probably have extra sensitivity to the line. It makes me angry. Perspective.

Yeah. The "huh" was entirely about me being an idiot and not seeing that connotation until it was addressed. Privilege blindness.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I was just reading Slashdot, and I thought I would come over here to post this.
Apparently the border patrol of the US now says it has authority to conduct stops and searches within 100 miles of the US border.

In watching Matt, I have no idea how people handle the world going crazy. I know what happens with me -- world go crazy, I go crazy and then things settle. They aren't good, but suddenly things aren't as bad. I wish I knew how it happens.
