Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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

For now, it's named Scops. That might change later, but I seem to have an owl theme going with my computer names, and Scops seems to fit.

The guy I was having this discussion with wasn't my officemate, it was someone else.

Skipping to the end to share the funniest wedding email ever. Billytea, of course, upon realizing that we did not yet own BSG and requesting our registry info.

It is done! Congratulations to the both of you. Please accept this gift of deceit, mistrust and betrayal, the only way to start married life.

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

Battlestar Galactica. Hey, it's sort of like giving the newlyweds a toaster. A lot of toasters, even.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Pix, that is too funny! I had to put it in COMM.

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

See, he needs to get over himself, acknowledge that Christmas is Christian, but admit that he likes it anyway. Trust me, it will be ok.

As a mixed-faith couple, that is exactly what we do. We can enjoy each other's traditions knowing that they aren't our own. It's fine. (But I wouldn't choose to celebrate Hindu festivals unless I happened to be celebrating them with a Hindu. And neither would The Girl do Christmas if I weren't dragging her to my parents' for turkey and presents. And neither would I do Hanukkah if she weren't inviting all our friends over to hear stories about oil and elephants.)

Pix (and billytea), that's the best wedding gift message ever.

Little grammar edit. There was a missing conditional tense. Nothing to see here. Move along.

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

Krispy Kreme donuts.

I hate living in the borough of sodding Camden. I fell over on an uneven paving stone while using my walker. Ironically, I was taking The Girl to the doctor's for a procedure she was nervous about. She ended up looking after me. (And bought me Krispy Kremes.)

And, indeed, there are times I don't love living in London, generally. They're actually filling in elevator shafts at tube stations where money for disabled access has run out. [link]
