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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Aimee, I'm so sorry. All strength and courage to your dad, to you and the rest of your family and those who loved her.

"It's little. And broken. But still good. Yah."
Breaks me every time.
Matilda and Emmett are luminous together. Iris is a beautiful butterfly. But then second-generation Buffistas are all beautiful and brave.
I'm a day late, Daniel, but I hope your birthday was happy.
Libkitty, I hope your mom is doing well, and that you're holding up okay.
Sorry to be scarce. Can't be helped right now. Miss you all.

Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer, The Prince and the Pauper - and those are from just Twain. There's Prince Caspian, and other assorted semi-orphans in Narnia. Jumanji - may not be a classic example, but I really liked the movie.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
"It's little. And broken. But still good. Yah."
Breaks me every time.
God, thee and me both, love.
