Kitty~ma, FredPete.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

[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.

I've only caught a little of it, but America: the Story of Us strikes me as elementary school US history given the big budget treatment. For that reason, I've been utterly uninterested in it.

Our wings are not tired
I am so tired of being in Orlando.

I have no idea what to get to my sister for her 21th birthday (reminder: here you start drinking (legally) at 18).
It's two days from now. Unlike always, she didn't make a list.

ND, how much longer do you have to be there?

I don't fly home until Saturday. I've been here for 10 days already.

I've been watching it, and yeah, that's about right. And they don't get all the details right, either. Sarameg pointed out their mistake about whale oil being used in the Hubble telescope (wrong!), and I noticed that they referred to Harriet Beecher Stowe as "an unknown housewife," failing to point out her very prominent brother and her own extensive abolitionist background.
What drives me up the wall the most is all of the little odes to American exceptionalism given by various pop culture figures (Michael Douglas? Jeannette Walls?? Bruce Jenner???). I did like the actor who played the young Frederick Douglass--don't know his name, but he was very charismatic in the few minutes he was on screen.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
"an unknown housewife,"
Wait, seriously? Please to hold on while I tie down my would-be-smashy fist of "that's not history, goddammit!"

Oh, God, if I watched this, I'd be like Keith Olbermann sending ken Burns that infamous "Great documentary...here's what you got wrong..." letter about Baseball, wouldn't I? Yes, he really did that. Act surprised. They've become friendly since, though.
