I have some bad juju related to Thursdays or something
Everyone has bad juju related to Thursdays. Because they're not Fridays.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

[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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Arthur could never get the hang of them either.

You and Arthur Dent. And he turned out okay. For given values of okay.
(eta: BWAHAHAHA! Inevitable crosspost!)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh, she finally left a voicemail. "I don't know how many messages you have but you have not returned my calls. I need to talk to you. Please call me back."
Beat.
"I love you."
I was wondering when she would play the love card. Now if I don't call her back, I clearly don't love her.

I wonder if her insistence is because it's Thursday.

It is. I'm supposed to start wearing it on a Thursday.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Happy birthday, MM!

You could tell her that you tried to call her back, but your bad Thursday juju prevented it?
I was just listening to Elizabeth Gilbert talk about her new book ("Committed") and talk about how Americans are abnormal because we have these fantasy expectations about marriage and Twu Wuv and all, and that the rest of the world is more pragmatic and views it as basically something for the financial security of the families and the stability of the community.
This triggered a ton of discussion points in my head, but it also seemed like something that might be relevant here.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Happy Birthday, Man of Miracles!!

I have the following meet-cute scenario in my head for P-C:
P-C gives in and wears the stupid amulet, which is bound to be smaller than an albatross, under his shirt. One day in a bookstore, he reaches for a graphic novel and the amulet swings out from under his shirt. Sitting on the floor reading graphic novels is an attractive girl with pink hair. P-C had noticed her earlier because of the Firefly-themed tattoos on her arms. She asks about the amulet, and P-C reluctantly tells her what it is. She says, "Oh, my god! My grandmother makes me wear this against the evil eye" and pulls an amulet out of her shirt.
