Welcome to GA, smonster. I wish you were here for a happier reason.
'War Stories'
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.
You mean when your mouth tastes like a zinc lozenge? I hate that taste. I don't associate it with nausea in general, but at the same time whenever I get it, it makes me want to splat.
Ugh. So sorry for you, Steph.
Steph, I hope it's a false alarm and you feel better soon.
Thanks, flea, me too.
Grandpa is sorting mail. We just had our first argument of the visit over the n word. And my sis was tapping my foot to get me to shut up but damn, I gotta draw the line somewhere. ION, it is mind-boggling the variety and kook level of the mail he gets. Japanese nutrition supplements, solicitations from a dozen charities I've never even heard of, right wing crap... It goes on and on.
I had some leftovers, and so far all seems well.
SO FAR.

My stockpot is boiling away merrily. Mmmmmm, turkylicious.
We're having family movie night. We started off with Australia, but we all agreed that it was not sufficiently festive, and so we switched to Love Actually.

That's fair. I think one really needs to be Australian to feel the holiday spirit from watching Jack Thompson get trampled to death and Bryan Brown eaten by a crocodile.
Here's an idiom for you: Grandpa looked at my brother and said, "You look like you been suckin' the hind titty." By which I think he was referring to the fact that my brother looked tired and weak, since he'd been traveling all day. B/c runts get the hind titty, doncha know.
Funeral tomorrow. My brother is apparently a pallbearer. I had a tiny moment of feminist ire over that, but let it pass. Not about me.
Quiet in here tonight.

Ooh! Good one.
::files away for writerly use later::
That's better than "you look like you been rode hard and put away wet" - which has been exhausted.

They aren't as funny as my imagination made them to be. More surreal/stupid. But entertaining none the less. They get better halfway through.
