And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

[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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

The more I hear about The Boy, the more convinced I am that he is ONE OF US.

And Teppy, you are always metaphorically scorching ... I'm assuming you mean thermometer-wise.

Good luck with the ducks, Steph. I hope they stop nibbling.

I should clarify my post about EJO on the Muppet Show wasn't a direct response to Steph's post, but I think it still stands.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Damn Tep, that's a lot of ducks.

Always Anti-fascist!

Tep, sounds like I'm not the only one who should buy a water-pic. D'oh...stupid Irish gums!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

The more I hear about The Boy, the more convinced I am that he is ONE OF US.

It went like this:

"I shouldn't use an adapter on this plug, but maybe just for tonight..."

"What the hell? This outlet is UPSIDE-DOWN!"

[Me: "You've owned this house for 8 years and are just now discovering that?"]

[sounds of a screwdriver taking off the outlet faceplate]

"IT'S NOT EVEN GROUNDED!!!"

[Me: "I could die every time I use the vibrator? That is NOT COOL."]

[disgusted exit from bedroom, muttering about outlets and grounding]

[attic sounds]

[return, with a 3-pronged outlet thingie]

"WHO DOESN'T GROUND AN OUTLET?!?"

"Oh, yeah, check THIS outlet out NOW!"

[At this point I'm trying to sleep, so I mutter encouraging noises.]

And then eventually the a/c got plugged in and the room was cool. I was sad to discover the a/c did not have a beer tap on it.

I should clarify my post about EJO on the Muppet Show wasn't a direct response to Steph's post, but I think it still stands.

I think that would make my existential angst MUCH better!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Damn Tep, that's a lot of ducks.

It sure is. Congratulations on triumphing over them! I hope you can have a restful evening with The Boy and the sushi and the dogs and nothing whatsoever going wrong.

Right? They would all be annoying and worthy of venting and angst under normal circumstances, but when they happen (all of them, all at once) right after a death, that's just NOT FAIR PLAY.

What? Take it back!

INORITE? Who lends a friend an a/c in their time of 90+ degree need and doesn't lend them one with a beer tap in it?!? Not on, man. Not on.
