[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.

“Not dead yet!”

Conversation in chez Pollak:

Lewis: Oooh!

Me: What?

L: Sorry, I know you're trying to work.

Me: S'okay, I'm used to it from Nate. What is it?

L: Yeah, but I'm trying to be considerate.

Me: What is it already.

L: This game I'm playing, there's a giant space walrus with sunglasses and a mohawk and a killer whale at the bottom of the screen squirting water at me.

Me: Uh-huh. I gotta post this in Bitches.

Note: Lewis says he'll pay money if anyone guesses the game.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Two things, Barb:

1) I keep forgetting that Lewis has the same last name (including spelling) as my grandmother, although you've mentioned it before and it makes me go WHOA! every time.

2) the space walrus game is making Stephen make his "hmmm...." face, and he may be puzzling at it all weekend.

All is well that ends in pizza.

No fanfic yet, but I do have a comment on my IMDB entry message board.

Sounds like Big Bang Mini.

Really? Given that it's a fairly uncommon variation on the name, y'all may be cousins. We actually have a book that at the time, had the most complete listing of Pollaks in the country.

Why am I not surprised that it was you, ND?

I'll make Lewis pay. Next time we have dinner.

I read Kotaku pretty regularly and remembered reading about that boss battle. Haven't seen or played it though.

Stephen reports that he doesn't know Big Bang Mini, and he knows way more games than I do.

Check the Pollak book for my great-grandma Recha (or Susan, as she was called for most of her U.S. years.) (1890? - 1981-ish). You may also be interested in the fact that she worked in Havana as a seamstress after leaving Austria and before she was allowed into the U.S.

My grandma (Alice, born 1916) married shortly after getting here, and my great-aunt (Marianne or Maryan, born 1913) had already been married for the first time (of five) before immigrating, so I'm less sure they'd be in the book.
