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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Btw, smonster, thanks for being so reasonable and gracious during the discussion.
Back atcha. So much more nuanced a discussion than I could have almost anywhere else. Love me some Buffistas.

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
Anyone see the recent South Park where the boys have to have the dictionary changed so that the new definition of "Fags" is "Guys who ride Harley Davidsons and make a bunch of noise"?

Ginger (I think), from way back, you asked what I used arrowroot for. Right now, the only thing I use it for is pumpkin pie filling. I never tried that with cornstarch, but consensus from other people who have tried it seems to be that cornstarch will make the filling taste kind of starchy, while arrowroot doesn't do much to the flavor.

This school is looking for math professors. I'm very tempted to not apply just because of the absolutely ridiculous misuse of statistics here: [link] (Pretty much everything from "Barron's" until the end of that paragraph.)

Hil, Vortex speaks for me.
Oh, and apropos of nothing, Jo Walton has written a wonderful poem on her policies with regard to elves: [link]
Clever and good poetry besides.
Also one of her commenters has a great poem in response: Elf Insurance.
