By the way, my hometown can boast A MOPED mobile meth lab.
Welcome to the Hellmouth petting zoo.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Either I messed it up or I don't like yorkshire pudding. I'm inclined to believe the former.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Mmmm, Yorkshire pudding.
More Matilda talk tonight. She's been on a streak.
1.
Matilda: The moon is following us. We have to get it a costume for Halloween. It wants to come with us. It'll be a pirate and say, "Aaargh."
2. (on seeing a Barack Obama poster in somebody's window)
Matilda: Barack Obama!
Me: Did you see him?
Matilda: He's in the window.
Me: Okay. Oh, I see. It's a poster.
Matilda: I have to talk to Barack Obama.
Me: What do you have to talk about with Barack Obama?
Matilda: I didn't like the pink ice cream.
Emmett: Matilda, do you know what Barack Obama does?
Matilda:
[very solemnly]
He's going to do great things.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Oh, also, we were discussing whether a particular sentence should use the word "which" or "that." He asked me if I could articulate (and yes, he said "articulate") what the difference was between "which" and "that." I told him, and he told me that I had it backwards. I looked it up, and I was right. Really, do not cross me on grammar.

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

I swear I didn't tell her the moon is following her.
Matilda: [very solemnly] He's going to do great things.
Hee! Just as long as she didn't follow that with the line from the first Harry Potter book: "Great and terrible things."

You should email him a link and tell him this.

You need to email him with your cite.
JZ says your adviser reminds her of the guy at Stanford who got beaten to death by a ball-peen hammer because he kept a guy from getting his Ph.D. for fifteen years.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Also e-mail him with that story, Hil.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Your advisor is an asshole with power over you. I have no advice on how to handle that. The ball peen hammer thing, though not practical, is appealing...
