She just shows up when the Batsignal is used. If you just want to talk to her, you're screwed.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

[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.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
she probably listens to her father's scanner. But ÜbberBoss is insisting she has a phone too.

Well, she surely has a phone... but is it a Bat Phone?

ya, the slightly sexist comment he said was kinda funny. Something along the lines of "well I'm sure it wasn't a red phone. Maybe a pink cell phone". One minute he is wanting evidence of what was, and then he throws "cell phones" into the mix, which clearly were NOT around during the TV series (his baseline). Not. A. Clue! why he is wanting to know this, as the next show is from the book of Genesis.

Why do I read Salon letters?
(It's Cary Tenis's column. The person asking for advice says there's an Orthodox Jewish family that lives in her building, and on Shabbos, their guests, who can't use the intercom, will come into the building when other tenants are opening the door. She thinks this is a security risk, and wants to know what to do. Many many of the comments have been talking about "pushy Jews," and also assuming that all Orthodox Jews are Chasids. And the hole-in-a-sheet thing was mentioned only about twenty comments in.)

I went to wikipedia to see if there was backup, and found this
Betty Kane's Bat-Girl was primarily interested in vigilantism in order to develop a relationship with the original Robin, Dick Grayson, as her introduction into publication was a deliberate attempt to avoid further allegations of homosexuality that Seduction of the Innocent presented to the public. Depicted as the niece of Batwoman, Bat-Girl had developed a crush on Robin after arriving in Gotham City and decided to fashion her own superhero persona based on Robin's costume. Her appearance in comic books primarily displayed her character attempting to develop a romantic relationship with Robin, despite his embarrassment or lack of interest (emphasis mine)
because that's not the way a gay man would react at all. @@

Oh, and the person writing the original letter felt the need to state that she was writing "As a feminist, an atheist and a secular Jew."
(By the way, why don't people ever use the phrase "secular Christian" to identify people who come from a Christian background and still do stuff like Christmas trees and Easter dinner without really thinking about the theological parts of it? It seems like it would be a useful term, but I've almost never heard it.)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Masochism?

I'm getting into a bit of "Someone is WRONG on the internet!" syndrome here. (Just hit a bunch of letters claiming that the letter-writer can't just go talk to her neighbor, because Orthodox men aren't allowed to talk to women, and if he's seen talking to her, someone will report him to his rabbi.)
