I'd love having Batgirl in Congress. Tom Harkin's a great disability advocate, but he's no Barbara Gordon.
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

[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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
That's cute, omnis.

Okay, the 209 gin makes a really, really tasty martini.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
So, Hec, this is gin that's so fancy it has a number instead of a name? (I know very little of gin, since it is to me the devil's own drink.)

Correct. There's been an explosion in upper tier small batch gins in the last ten years, some by boutique distillers, some by established gin makers putting out a specialty item. So gins like 209, Tanqueray's 10 (another number), Junipero (by Anchor Steam), Aviation and Broker's would all be in this group.
There's also an interest in older styles of gin, like the classic Plymouth, and Old Raj which have very different feels on the palate. This is not unlike rediscovering older beer styles (Anchor Steam being one example).
Gins vary quite a bit in flavor, defined only by a neutral spirit infused by a certain amount of juniper (in the case of Junipero - a lot of juniper) and a bunch of generally "grassy" botanicals. Bright, herbaceous flavors.
I don't know if you'd ever come around to gin, but used in cocktails the flavors you don't like would be buried a bit, but adding complexity to the cocktail.
Not in a martini, though, which is just really cold gin and vermouth. And olives.

Sean, excellent work on the mentions in the reviews. That is really something to be proud of.

:: does it again because, well, why not ::
I guess it's going well, we are close to intermission on the first day, and we don't have audience until Friday. But. The director keeps changing her mind, and the actors aren't off book yet. After 3 weeks of rehearsal for 8 hours a day, it's rare that actors aren't. And the fact it's not just one, but MOST of them calling for line, well, it's really frustrating. So I kinda want to go home, and watch those Netflix DVD's I have, tape up some boxes, and start packing the books. But no. Gotta sit in the theater. :: sigh :: Maybe I finally have 'short timers' or something.
