I just got a call from a bar I went to a few weeks ago, saying that I won a happy hour for myself and my friends -- free drinks for me, $3 drinks for my friends, from 7 to 9. I put my name on the list when I was there for a similar happy hour that a friend won a few weeks ago. I don't think anybody ever goes to this bar except for these happy hours -- every time I've been there has been when someone won one, and every other person there has always been wearing the wristbands that they give to happy hour people.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Free drinks, Hil! Order the good stuff.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
It sounds like the preamble to a Supernatural episode... or Buffy, do they serve Black Forest beer?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Today he started patting my chest and saying "Dada Dada Dada". He's said this before, but until he attached it to an actual Dada I wasn't ready to call it.
Go Ryan!
I babysat the most amazing 8-month-old in the world today for an hour (because P and I had sequential dental appts at the same place). If I have any influence on it, L's first word will be lalalalalala.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Congratulations on pipping your wife to the post, bt.
My name is excellent for getting in early with the babies. Well, the last syllable, anyway. And, really, when they say it with such deliberation, the first syllable is totally there too. AND? They say it righter than the ee-dah people. Power to the one year olds.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

How does he feel about cilantro?
See, this is like asking his opinion on oven cleaner. As a responsible parent, I have a duty to protect him from such things until his sense of self-preservation exceeds that of a rat infected with toxoplasmosis.
Forget cilantro, what are his views on the semi-colon?
I can report that he shows a thoroughly enthusiastic attitude towards all his colon-related activities; I feel confident concluding he would spurn the semi-colon as unacceptably half-assed. So to speak.
bt, very cute. Hope Wallaby isn't jealous.
This is in fact all part of her plan to ensure that when he wakes up at 3 am, I'm the one he calls for. The A-Team movie is coming out bang on schedule for her to love it when a plan comes together. And possibly to pity a fool.

There's an interesting point here, "Mama" means mother in completely unrelated languages the world over, and fathers commonly get something from the range of baba, papa, dada etc. These are, of course, commonly among the earliest baby babble. The world over, parents listen to their kids burbling and decide it's about them.

Oh, too cute! LOVE Ryan stories! It's so nice to see you so happy, bt!
Aww. I figured it was better to lead with the first word story than the tale of nappy leakage. Thanks everyone for the good wishes towards my focused-babbling baby boy.
