'Dirty Girls'


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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

But yay for Stephanie's dinner going well, but sad for people who do not have Buffistas in their life.

Yes, this.

Hee, I bet I know what mall meara was next to. My meagre knowledge of Pleasanton, rarely useful.

Love the new hair, smonster!

Eta: and congratulations, P-C!

All is well that ends in pizza.

It might be my native language, but English confuses the hell out of me.

Today is the 150'th birthday of the creator of Esperanto...

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Thanks, y'all. I am pleased.

Congrats on the part, P-C!

Troop also bugs me but I suppose it's just another of those wacky government terms. Thanks for chiming in, Stephanie. And I'm glad you had a nice dinner.

Okay, I've made the veggie casserole for tomorrow's work potluck, and will now leave myself an enormous note that says CASSEROLE so I won't forget it.

Off to bed with me! Or back to bed, or whatever. Night, my lovelies.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Too much walking today. Ouch.

The productivity of everybody in my office has dropped immensely since we discovered Sporcle. [link]

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

leave myself an enormous note that says CASSEROLE so I won't forget it.

I sometimes forget to read notes in the morning but I never forget my lunch if I put my car keys in the refrigerator.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

wrt smonster pic... Va va va voom! Looks great!

wrt soldier/troop. I guess I have a related peeve. Soldier does not equal all service members. Marines are not soldiers. Marines are Marines.

To Marines. I don't see why that applies to the rest of us.

A matter of accuracy. I guess it would be like saying politician could equal democrat. But could also equal libertarian. Soldier, iirc, is Army folk only. There are Navy folk in harms way over there. I'm guessing those folks wouldn't like being called soldiers either.

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

Soldier does not equal all service members. Marines are not soldiers. Marines are Marines.

And similarly for members of the Air Force and Navy (though they aren't getting killed so much in these wars). I suspect that's why the news with with "troops" (and then "troop"). Once "Men in uniform" became the unwieldy "men and women in uniform" they were left in a terminology minefield (what with us having not signed the terminology mine band).

It's a giant note under my keys, so it usually works.

Navy - sailors

Air Force - air (wo)men, IIRC

KBD gets peeved at that stuff.

Ok, really, bed.
