What is your childhood trauma?

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're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Ah, that's why I've never heard of this person. Really never got to see much Family Guy.

Have you had occasion to read any papers by Robert Wilton?

No, but I'm just looking him up now, and his work sounds interesting. I'll read some of it. Enabling geographies. Nice!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

As far as I'm concerned, there are two totally different series. The actually edgy one from before it was cancelled, and the one where being brought back convinced MacFarlane that he really can get away with whatever white straight fratboy crap he feels like.

Oooh. Nailed it. I didn't think about that. That is TOTES correct.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

And hearing that she was a Spike apologist is just weird, b/c doesn't she opine that RPF=rape?

Something like that, I think. I dunno.

Oooh. Nailed it. I didn't think about that. That is TOTES correct.

Second the TOTES here.

Always Anti-fascist!

"Conversations are supposed to end when your network calls you a douchebag, McFarlane." Or something like that. I love Doug Ellin. He wrote "Entourage" and has the same movie-quoting/Dialogue's Bitch disorder as me...my mom watched the same interview and said "Yeah, if you guys got together, you could do that all day." He's also sloppy like me. Like I sort of love it when people say "So, Ellin, what are your plans for the next season?" and he's kind of like "Fuck, I don't know...I guess I'll finish writing episode four." It encourages me. HBO probably freaks. My mother hates it when I joke about this, but I googled to see if he is old enough to be all "Luke, I am your father," But no, he was five when I was born. We still are separated at birth, somehow, though.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Windsparrow, thanks for asking about me. The rest of me isn't as creaky as I feared, but I have a horrendous bruise on my back which is making sitting kind of painful. There's an evil bruise on the back of my upper calf, but that's just a dull ache unless I touch it.

My objection to Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is that they do way more than the family needs, leaving them with double or triple the property taxes and utilities. There have also been a lot of reports of shoddy building, particularly in the invisible things that drive up utility costs, such as air sealing and insulation. It's very dramatic, but building a house in such a short time is really not a good idea. At least three owners have faced foreclosure. Also, they seem to do a squicky amount of "this is what it's like to be in a wheelchair," but I'm not really in a position to comment, since I've never gotten through a whole episode without getting angry and turning it off.

Me either. Go ahead. Act surprised.

I'd heard about the property tax and utility thing, but not about the reports of shoddy building. Doesn't really surprise me, though -- I've worked on Habitat for Humanity, and even with a decent amount of time to do stuff and plenty of supervision, there were a lot of things that we screwed up just because it was the first time any of us were building a house.
