[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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

As if my credit wasn't in bad enough shape, some evil creature has put a series of $99 charges one of my credit cards. They all came from the same place on the same day, which seems pretty obviously fraudulent, but I have to dispute it in writing and wait four to six weeks.

They all appear to have come through PayPal. You would think PayPal would want to know, but there is absolutely no place to report fraud that didn't happen to a PayPal account. Also, the word recognition robot things? Made of fail.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

But dude, why do I get so invested in the students who absolutely refuse to do anything?

I didn't see your post before you edited, but I so totally understand this feeling. You want all of your students to succeed so badly that it just drains you and it totally sucks when they refuse to care enough about themselves to actually put in any effort. I so so so get this.

Emily, I feel your pain. Ugh.

And thanks Sail, grubby is a great word for it. Big scrubbies needed.

Who would have guessed Martha Stewart to be a Countdown viewer? Not I, anyway.

So how'd our favorite outraged snarkmeister do on Stewart's show, erikaj?

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Oh, I didn't post. I actually retracted before ever hitting post, because once I'd done the cathartic ranting I decided you guys didn't need to hear the details, but ugh. Bright, bright student. Fucking up. And fucking up the class, to boot, so it's a bigger issue than just "so let me fail, Ms. You."

I think he would have been less embarrassed if asked to streak, Calli, but he did all right.But I think I know what he'd be like on Band Candy now.

Oh, and looking at his enormous hands in graham cracker made me think of Teppy again. as well as making me think the crush has changed me...time was, it would have bothered me to fancy a guy who gets manis...ha, the one vestige of cowgirl culture that took? Don't know, but now I could easily accept having the fucked-up cuticles in our relationship.
