Happy Birthday, Jessica!!!
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

[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.

Happy Birthday Jessica PMoon!
CHRIST, I'm sleepy today.
Thanks for all the indignant sentiments on Tom's behalf- he was super anxious last night and couldn't sleep. Poor noodle.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Apparently it's not necessary for me to be actually interviewed or talk to a reporter for them to write the story.
I will note that I was a newspaper reporter for years and have written for magazines for many years, and I have never quoted anyone with interviewing them or having them approve quotes attributed to them. In corporate writing, one does sometimes have to attribute one person's quote to another person who was unavailable and to write quotes for executives who want to be told what to say.
Omnis' story illustrates what I frequently told my students: The surest way to misquote someone is to write down exactly what they said, rather than what they meant.

I'm getting the pig!
I'm sorry that they didn't realize what an awesome catch Tom would be and hire him. Much job~ma for Tom.
Happy Birthday, Jessica!
I wish my realtor would call or email me to tell me how the showing went yesterday. Hmph.

I was very outraged on Tom's behalf. I just was being outraged telepathically, rather than by typing.

Now tagless for your comfort.
As a journalism major, I'm uncomfortable enough with the un-interviewed quotes that I would call the reporter's editor and ask how they got the quotes, considering they never spoke to you.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Hey, omnis - any news about the girl in question?Nothing. Dunno if that is her choice, or if co-worker truly did pass along my e-mail address. Or if he passed it to b/f, and if b/f passed it along. We have another opening in a few weeks for A CHRISTMAS CAROL. Just trying to figure out what to say to her to try and get the ball rolling. Of course, right after opening, I hop on a plane to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with my family in Florida.
Omnis - I heard the Day to Day interview after it was linked here and thought you sounded great.Good to know. I gotta dig up the link and listen to it. I suspect that will be after T-day.

Happy birthday, Jess!
I hope it's filled with tastiest things.
