On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

[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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I apparently sprained my ankle Monday. It seems to be a mild sprain, and I so do not want to go through the whole medical process just to be told to do what I'm doing now. But it hurts and it's making me cranky, and my not going outside is making the dog cranky.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Aims, thank you for that story about hand tourettes. I laughed so loud it sounded like a bark.

I seriously don't know what's wrong with me. Thankfully, she'd read Cindy's TWOP recap of HIMYM and knew my history of flipping people off.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

D lost his job yesterday. We're OK financially for at least a little while but neither one of us is particularly keen to stay in SoCal. Chicago calls me (and it would be great to remove myself from the middle of the family drama out here) and he wants to move back to Washington (he was looking at job listings for Wizards of the Coast last night). But every time I think about us moving away from each other I start to cry. I know we need to pursue our own interests, especially since we're "just" friends but I've never felt this kind of kinship before. At least I have some time to figure it out.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Coffee-making naked guy rebuffed by exposure charge

Okay the headline is funny, but this is kind of ridiculous. Guy's naked in his kitchen at 5:30AM, some woman and her kid are cutting through his lawn and happen to see him, so she calls the police? WTFF?

I'm sorry, Laga. I hope you and D can find an option that works for both of you.

I walk around naked a lot. I wonder if anyone's ever filed an indecency charge against a woman who was in her own home at the time.

I know! It's so fucking ridiculous. I mean, the woman was in the man's yard and it was 5:30AM. Why didn't they charge her with being a peeping tom!

I can only imagine because of sexism. Men want other people to look at them naked, whereas women only look at nude men if tricked or forced.

They should not only charge her for being a peeping tom, but also trespassing.

“Not dead yet!”

Unless the guy was posing in front of the window, deliberately waving his willywanger around while yelling "Look at me! Look at me!" I think they're going to have a hell of a time proving that he was deliberately trying to expose himself or wanted to be seen.
