Glory: Lesson number one, Vampires equal impure! Spike: Damn right I'm impure, I'm as impure as the driven yellow snow!
'Dirty Girls'
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Because Mark Sheppard is awesome!
I think he's got almost every space on his Genre TV Bingo Card filled in at this point.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I absorb accents like a sponge, which means I am constantly checking myself at work to make sure I'm not accidentally speaking British.
As do I. Hee. One of the more innocent things I do, under the influence of Ambien, is that I suddenly find myself spurred to read whatever it is I'm reading before bed in a British or French accent.
Strangely, I haven't done this since I've acquired a boyfriend. (I also like to read the French, Italian and Spanish instructions on beauty products and cooking items aloud, to practice. I'm a freak.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He's beyond Genre. If it's filmed in Canada, he's been on it. And beyond. He'll go anywhere, be skeevy in anything. Him and Garret Dillahunt.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I learned most of my early French from reading the backs of Canadian cereal boxes as a kid.

Me too! And the backs of shampoo bottles and medicine bottles...

'Shampooing' has a very cool pronunciation.

Heh. I know what you mean. It's like how we always sound as posh as the Queen on your shows. And I go "We don't sound like that," and then I hear Stephen Fry and apparently we do.

The one that confused me for years was "raisin" flavored soda and juice boxes. I was well into my teens before I realized that "raisin" was French for "grape."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

When I met him at Comic-Con, I was all, "I loved you on Firefly and Battlestar Galactica and The X-Files, " and he was all, "Was I in all those?" He's also got, what, The Middleman and Dollhouse and Leverage and Supernatural and...I think that's all the ones I've seen him in. Perhaps.
