JZ, a drink to accompany the re-reading of today's posts is the best plan. Trust me on this. Not early at all. Almost dark where you are.
eta: or what my friend Perkins said so much more succinctly.
River: You gave up everything you had. Simon: [Chinese] Everything I have is right here.
'Safe'
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.

Abbreviation
We are lazy bastards, we English speakers, and we like to squish words together. When we do so, the apostrophe is a little pointing finger that indicates where the missing letters should be. Thus
>...[snip] Jen is a bitch
becomes
>...[snip] Jen's a bitch
That's a contraction, not an abbreviation. (I'm sorry, Fay. I couldn't resist. I tried... sort of. Says the ellipsis abuser.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I've been drinking since 4:30.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Is it too early to pour myself a drink?
It's cocktail hour in Brooklyn!
Poor Tilda. Throwing up is no fun.

We were grazing all afternoon (our two-apartments-down neighbor turned 1 today), and so dinner will probably be a leftover latke with a fried egg on top. You know, health food.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Hey, it's good for the soul. Sounds delicious.
Dude! We have one bottle of stout still in the house! One beautiful, delightful bottle, bless its dark little heart.

“Not dead yet!”
I'm watching World's Most Romantic Bedrooms and am dying of the Big Green Mean Envy.

The dog's dinner
That's actually not a good demonstration sentence, because "The dog is dinner" is a valid, if icky, sentence.
Edit: Hubby rightly corrected me that the "if icky" does not apply to those with a preference for the traditional Asian tastes.
