It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oooh, new thread smell.

I'm thinking siatica, maybe?

Sounds like it to me. I get it occasionally as a gift with purchase from the tendinitis in my hips. No fun. Feel better, Aims.

Oh, yeah. Something is irritating your sciatic nerve.

One thing you can do to try to ease it is a piriformis stretch.

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.

Here in the US, it is Veterans Day. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who served.

Well said. Raises a glass to our service-men and -women, past and present. And those of our allies, as well.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

We call it Remembrance Day. (Colloquially known as Poppy Day sometimes.)

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Here in the US, it is Veterans Day.

And here, Armistice Day. I didn't realise they were on the same day. That's kind of cool.

Edit: Cross-post with Fay.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

OMG, they've got a baby camel drinking from a bottle on Good Morning America. And now a baby tiger.

I hope Aimee's watching. Or that it's online later.

That baby camel was fuckin' cute.

My father used to decry the fact that schools had stopped making kids memorize "In Flanders Fields".

Trust my rage

Our whole family is home today. We had a bikeride planned but it's a bit chilly out so now we are all watching Ice Age 3 and eating pretzels.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Aims, John Hodgman is running around Ann Arbor today. If you see him, give him a noogie for me.
