Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Spike ,'Conversations with Dead People'


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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I want a new punctuation mark that indicates sarcasm. Also one that indicates "I'm not being sarcastic, really, I mean it!"

How would that be different from emoticons?

Because emoticons aren't functioning as actual punctuation.

Also, they are of the devil. I say this because I've caught them creeping into my e-mail, etc., SURELY typed by fingers other than my own.

SURELY.

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

How would that be different from emoticons?

I was riffing off the Dinosaur comic Frank linked to. Emoticons aren't punctuation. Is there an emoticon for sarcasm/not sarcasm? Because I'll use it, oh yes.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What would it mean if you used a sarcasm mark ironically?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You void the warranty?

That's like matter and anti-matter meeting.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I received an e-mail today from TCG's stepmom asking us to make a list of what we want for Christmas because it is "coming soon". Seriously?

Less than three months! That's like 11 or 12 dog-days!
