{{{askye}}} Sounds like a lovely way to say goodbye.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

[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.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

{{askye}} I'm so sorry, hon. That's a hard thing to do. How nice that you have traditional place for her final rest.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I've been wondering if the people who bought the house I grew up in did any digging. There's three dogs, four hamsters and scores of gerbils in the front and back yard. The first dog we lost even got a headstone that was covered up by periwinkle within a few years. I hope they haven't decided to tear up that front courtyard and found the stone that says "Chico." That might freak me out if I didn't immediately realize Chico was a pet.

The status is NOT quo.
Much love, askye.
In pronunciation news, I'm going to have to take a completely contrary position. I love accents and dialects, so odd pronunciations even ones I think are "wrong" don't bother me usually. I love the ways words change on different parts ofthe country and world; plus, who can really say what the correct one is?more standardized, sure, but wrong? I think it just depends on your perception. I'm a liberal commie when it comes to these things, I guess.
Now that I've said this, of course, I'm going to think of a bunch of exceptions.

Well, there are things that are regionalisms or accents and things that are just wrong. They ping very differently.

“Not dead yet!”
I'm a liberal commie when it comes to these things, I guess.
I'll be over in the liberal commie corner snorgling Pix. I always have fun when I have characters with accents, trying to evoke that in dialogue without being obnoxious about it. It's a challenge and I have great fun with it.
So long as it's not "tweezles."

I had an editor, one is normally pretty good, change "complement" to "compliment". Don't know how many good editor points he loses for that one but...
