Maybe they meant the former Soviet state of Alambama?
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm off for my "life options" class. Back after 4.

How the hell does a gas station in Alabama have a cricket bat?
I was disappointed that they didn't get into that. However, I would surmise that the store clerk was from a country that (who?) plays cricket. Cricket folks are very enthusiastic. In the spring, the Caribbean students play cricket on the yard in front of my building.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm here. I'm pondering getting dressed and going to get some work done. I don't particularly feel like it, but I know that I should. I just had a huge spinach salad, so maybe all that iron will give me some energy.

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
I'm having my first coffee of the pregnancy! I'm falling asleep at my desk and having some :ahem: bathroom issues that I'm hoping a little cup of Joe might help with. Only half a cup, but still! Coffee!

I'm all tuckered out from the high-speed geekery of yesterday.
Also, I have yet to be asleep. I left the computer at midnight (after a spectacular friendship!fail that I may never recover from), and at 4 I stopped staring at the ceiling and picked up a book.
I've been at work for 3 hours already.
So I got nothin'.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Cricket folks are very enthusiastic.
Yes, yes they are. Perhaps more so than baseball fen.
Aw, StuntHusband. Many hugs to you.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
