Michael Scott's a lesbian?
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Spike's Bitches 43: Who am I kidding? I love to brag.
[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.

IIRC, Polish jokes were a Nazi thing, a propaganda tool to help them feel superior, and make the invasion/killing of Poles that much easier. When I called my dad a Nazi, it was then that he finally got the clue that racist jokes were not cool in my company.

...the sort of intellectual discussion about privilege and grey areas that is hard to have late at night in a noisy bar. But also that although I have read extensively about, and totally GROK, I have a very hard time VERBALIZING.
Wow, *I* could also really use this wisdom, for upcoming family-based holiday gatherings.
Bonus points if someone can come up with a retort for someone who pokes fun at you in a mean-spirited way, and then when you cry foul, pulls the "I was JUST KIDDING! Geez, can't you TAKE A JOKE???"

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Oooh, pick me, pick me!
My dazzling retort is....YOU PUNCH THEM IN THE NUTS! And when they object, you say it's slapstick! A tried and tested comedy style! And, hey, the bit where they doubled up in pain and made little retching noises sure made everyone else in the room giggle - comedy GOLD, baybee! Where's their sense of humour?

I love Fay. A lot.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Geez, can't you TAKE A JOKE???
The answer is NO. And then Fay's kicking them in the nuts suggestion.
[edit: Oh, my bad. Punching them in the nuts, not kicking.]

Mental note, no borderline jokes on physical presence of Fay, unless wearing a cup.

Here's a blog to start to the discussion of privilege - I have to go to the Dean's holiday party in another few minutes, unfortunately:
