that's not snide, that's just Philly. *see? See how well I do Philly-snide? SO VERY WELL*
I like the other one you found, but I think I'm tempting fate with just one.
eta: snide
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...
'Shindig'
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.

Our wings are not tired.
Heh. I didn't think it was snide, maybe a better way to describe it as "preaching to the converted". I went out of my way to find a source that couldn't be called "left wing bias media".

Because books.

Because books.
We'll be down by the weekend of the 28th. And I'm not sure if I do? I don't think so. My profile address is good, though, so send away!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
So I just posted (uncharacteristically) on Facebook about the proposed construction of the community center. I don't know if any of my Fox-loving extended family will comment on my post, but if any do, please feel free to gently debate with them. There are a few of them who are just willfully ignorant, but there are others (like my Aunt Sharon) who will listen to others, as long as the others aren't condescending or patronizing.
I'm really tempted to post a comment that just says "BUT WHAT ABOUT THE VIKINGS?!?"

Shit's all sorts of different now.
How much do I love that WHAT ABOUT THE VIKINGS?!? has filtered over to here??

All is well that ends in pizza.
That reminds me of a joke that was making the rounds of my mom's group when I was a disapproving teen.
Let me see if I can sum up the salient points.
No, let me paraphrase...
Thor is down from Asgard and meets a beautiful woman. They wordlessly dance in a nightclub, and then go back to her place. After a night of godlike sex, Thor get up, and takes a quick shower and begins to dress.
"Don't go!" she pleads, breaking their silence.
He draws him self up to full height and magnificence. "Woman, I am Thor!"
"You're thore? I'm tho thore I could hardly pith!"
----
So....
WHAT ABOUT THE VIKINGS?!?
They're very Thor today

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Mild-gronk.
No sign yet from researcher and husband. And, um, the library is about to be closed until September (today is the last day. They've got about 10 hours to find it). Which will leave them with a hell of a fine, even if they'll find the book beforehand.
I feel a little bad about it. Not necessarily responsible, but just bad for how things will probably roll.
Sadly, instead of starting Hollaback Israel today, we're rescheduling (one of my team members is sick, so we'll wait until she'll get better).
And I need to go to the university in person today, but I have to give researcher and husband every opportunity to give the book them, so when/if I'll leave is up to them.
I swear I liked her better when she asked me to find non-existing articles.
UPDATE: They've just found the book!

Did you Mom's group steal this from Neil Gaiman? Or did Gaiman grab it from the Zeitgeist.
