[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.

Hil, have you tried the crystal deodorant?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Haven't tried it yet, but it looks like it's worth a try.

Our wings are not tired.

I have book a hotel room in Portland Maine for this weekend

I think my mom and step-dad are going there this weekend too. If you see them say hi! We just did a lot of driving around, and eating lobster when we were there. Poor mom is allergic to shellfish.

Poor mom, is right. Yum, seafood! I should probably try to figure out where we are going to eat and make reservations for dinner, since it is a holiday weekend.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

sj, wedding plans are so exciting! You must show us your dress. Wedding dresses are so beautiful! Why can't we wear beautiful dresses all the time?

Do you (anyone) have an image of yourself in your head that feels comfortably "you" but that you've never looked/dressed ever? Like, my image of myself is in antebellum-style clothes and hair. I wore that style once, for some Southern celebration when I was a teenager, and I loved it. I would wear long sweeping skirts and bell sleeves and tight bodices all the time, if I could.

Also,

a place called Gus's s which is supposed to have the best fried chicken in the world

YES. Say hello to Tennessee for me!

If you needed anything in Nashville, I have people there. My mom can give you directions anywhere, but the cost is a 20+ minute conversation. You should head downtown at see the Parthenon and the Ryman and wave at my alma mater, with the most beautiful campus.

Your family's in Jackson, ChiKat? My grandmother was born and raised there, as was a college friend.

Ginger, you went to Vanderbilt? Me too! Oh, the Parthenon. I must go see it again, now that work on Athena is finished.

I did, way back in the dark ages. I was managing editor of The Hustler and lived in McGill the first year it went coed. I went to Vanderbilt in part because it was far away from my family (and it would let me in after my junior year). My family moved to Nashville the next year. Mother grew up in East Nashville.

I haven't seen Athena yet either. I should get down there next time I visit my family. While some people may scoff at a Parthenon made of concrete, it's an exact size replica of the original before the ravages of time and ill-advised arms storage.

My geekiness is vindicated: IKEA switches fonts, people flip out in response.

Seriously, VERDANA?!?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hil, Almay makes a hypoallergenic deodorant.

WTF, body? I slept about 12 hours last night and *still* struggled to get up this morning and was *still* dozing off at work after my first cup of coffee. I thought this situation would improve after I stopped taking Abilify, but maybe it's the Cymbalta?

Glad you're having fun on your trip, scrappy!

sj, it's so great to hear about your wedding plans.
