[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.

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I vote zeitgeist. I remember finding a collection of joke books and magazines from the '30s-50s in a trunk in my grandparents' basement, which included this Thor limerick from somewhere in the early '40s:
The Thunder God went for a ride
Upon his favorite filly
"I'm Thor!" he cried.
The horse replied,
"You forgot the thaddle, thilly."
I'm pretty sure that thing is taking up brain space that's crowded out Latin noun declensions and Russian verbs and E.E. Cummings poems, curse the miserable thing.

I heard it around 1973...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm really tempted to post a comment that just says "BUT WHAT ABOUT THE VIKINGS?!?"
I feel this calls for one of those "If you agree leave this as your status for one day" type of memes.
(Many people don't know that THE VIKINGS WERE HERE BEFORE COLUMBUS AND HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CIVIL WAR OR SOMETHING. If you agree, post this as your status for one day.)
