Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

[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.

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

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.)

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

I want to do this. My status updates are always so boring.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I say we do it. I'd join in and just block Tim from seeing my status. Weird little sense of politeness I have, I know.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I'm up for it! Let's do it! I was also thinking about making mine "If your life sucks so much you're on food stamps, I don't begrudge you booze and smokes."

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Did you know that Teh Muslims are trying to remove the Holocaust from schools in the UK because it never happened and if we don't watch out the'll do the same to 9/11?!?!?!?!

I just had to Snopes my stepmonster. I hit reply all. I was thiiiiiiis close to reply-alling ALL the people who'd been left on that email chain but I controlled myself.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Sigh. The first time I took a what we call here "date B"* after taking date A, and I lost 5 point at it. Didn't fail, but any score under 85 is not ego friendly for me.

It doesn't really affects my total GPA or anything: I can still lose up to 8 points of it and make it into librarianship studies for M.A., but I'm just upset about the energy and the time I wasted trying to understand the professor's fuzzy ideas. Mostly the ones that require to ignore any data given in the graph/question, and follow what we've studied in class (I'm still traumatized by my horrible "mistake" of presuming that 3 is more than 2, which made me write the wrong answer. I wish I was kidding about the fuzzy ideas).

  • In Israeli education system, from high-school matriculation exams to university tests, there are costumed two dates to each test: we call it date A and date B. Usually, given a valid reason, one can also ask for a date C.

Shir, that sounds frustrating. Also, meant to say, I'll be happy to send you my resume once I incorporate people's edits, which should be tonight.
