AWESOME!
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Tell us all about the place, Nora!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can't it be derived from bastard?
Do you think it was, when it was coined?
Regardless, it's not an argument I'm willing to have any time I use it. I just regret losing it.
Congrats, Nora!

Congrats, Nora! I'm so pleased for you.

Well, it's a nonprofit that was started after Katrina to help organize and unify and provide resources to neighborhood associations. They do a lot of work to figure out what neighborhoods and communities need and then how to provide it.
I am SO EXCITED! It's very much a way to get to know the city, its neighborhoods, the civic underpinnings and local policies and politics, and to actually help all these communities, whatever their particular need is.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Do you think it was, when it was coined?
Probably not because the emphasis is on the "tard."
I think we need a rondelay of everybody's personalized expletives so we can increase our profane word power.
Here are some in my current repertoire:
Fuck weasel
Crap weasel
Weasel fucker (used exclusively for somebody who cuts me off in traffic, or commits some other driving idiocy.)
Weasel Enhancer (I had to come up with something for people who did me a kindness in traffic.)
Shit stick
Obviously I've been on a "weasel" kick of late, but it's a satisfying run-up to the harder anglo-saxon bombs.
Anybody else got anything more satisfying than the usual array of "cocksuckers" and "fuckwits"?

That sounds great, Nora!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
You can always substitute "turd" for "tard".
