I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
I think you need to drabble Spike meeting Edward. "Mate, what's with the fucking sparkly bits? You one of those Snow Baby figurines or what?"
This is making me ridiculously happy.
The bombing of Syria is canceling that happiness quite effectively.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Perhaps a cuddle of puppies will help with the happy: [link]

BBC speculation on what is behind the attack on Syria. [link]
With the Bush administration on the way out, this US military incursion may represent something of a parting shot against the Syrians.
It's clear that if Senator Barrack Obama were to win the White House, his key advisers are among the strongest advocates of engaging with Damascus across a broad spectrum of issues.
You know, I think I'm shocked. Killing 8 people to relieve their feelings by taking one final shot at an old enemy? Not surprising for this bunch, but still shocking if the distinction is clear.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Any of the Cook's Illustrated testers done this last snack cake tester? I think I'm about to.

Really? More than Edward? Seriously repressed, 108 year old virgin Edward who climbs in windows to watch his beloved sleep?

Puppy picspam has brought back the happy. (Thanks Perkins!)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey quester, how are the glasses working out? Mine are fine, and I even finally got an unsolicited comment from someone who noticed they are different than the old ones....

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Okay, sending troops into Syria, scary.
IO Scary news: the Bailout? Not working so well so far. Banks that have been chosen to receive money are planning on using it on pay raises, bonuses, dividends and to buy other banks:
And this would be why a good number of articles against the Bailout before it passed were screaming about the complete lack of oversight written into it.
