Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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.

Yay Aimee!

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

The bill was $7.57. I handed the clerk $20.57. She typed into the register that I'd given her $200.57 and she couldn't figure out how much change to give me. It was painful.

I can't tell you how many times I've had a clerk call me for help with this same question. As if somehow the register will know that you didn't put in a hundred and give change for it.

Now tagless for your comfort.

OMG, I miss good Challah. I used to live five minutes from two kosher bakeries and this is what I miss most about living up here.

I just got an email from one of my students informing me that "we HAVE to be allowed to use calculators on this test." Um, no.

Sometimes I think about you and Vortex and I despair for the youth of America.

But then on the flip side there's also the K-Bug's of the world so not all college students are ignorant and entitled.

All is well that ends in pizza.

But... but... how will they know that $20.57 minus $7.57 is $13, Hil?

To cite a random example.

What she actually wants to use is a graphing calculator. We're doing polar coordinates, which are a bit tricky to graph, but I've done some examples in class and gone over the general method several times.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

You should e-mail back and tell her that it sucks to be her.

Every once in a while I will throw what appears to the clerk to be random amounts of change, to get it to 25, 50 or 75 cents on the dollar.

You'd think I invented fire from some of their responses.

Oy. An ultra-Orthodox newspaper in Israel published a photo of the new Cabinet, but photoshopped it to remove the women. (From what I know, standard practice in those papers is putting a black box over any women that can't be cropped out, because they think that it's a violation of women's modesty to print pictures of them. But photoshopping to make it look like they weren't there in the first place is new.) [link]
