'Conviction (1)'
[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.
Guys, these are great. Thanks so much!
Aang -- is this from "Avatar: The Last Airbender?"
Scott Pilgrim -- What are the name of the comix/movie again?
Some of these I don't know, so I'm going to list the ones I do, so I'll have a better chance of helping the kids write.
The first "The Crow"?
Oh, yes, this.
Yes, Aang is from Avatar.
Scott Pilgrim is called Scott Pilgrim. The first comic is subtitled "Precious Little Life" I forget what the movie was subtitled... vs. the universe maybe?
I am totally unclear about serial comma etiquette. Which is better?
I got all excited that we might have another To The Pain conversations about serial commas and then nothing. Clearly questions like this should be asked on weekdays. Hiding them on a Saturday means no fluffling.
God, maths homework was my favourite.
I like math. Even still. Though helping the Nephlet through his over the phone is both a challenge for math skills I haven't had a reason to explain for decades and for the fact that he's occasionally trying to be Jilli and just not do his homework. Grrr. But I still like math.
I'm not sure Coolio was all that heroic. Though Gangsta's Paradise does have superhuman powers of earworm.
So true. And HA!
I just hated doing homework. Didn't really matter what subject it was.
I ALWAYS hear "Gangster's Paradise" as "Amish Paradise."
And it sets me to giggling.
I just watched Mississippi Masala. How have I not seen this movie before? It's fabulous.
Kara is Jilli, sj, and Hil! She hates all homework, but especially copying things and math.
Kara is the younger version of me
This comforts me all the time. I would be honored to have a daughter who grew up to be Jilli. She loves Jilli pictures. I thought wwjpd (what would Jilli's parents do), and got her a sewing machine for Christmas so she could learn to sew for herself and her dolls.
Erin, Greg suggests Black Panther:
Black Panther has royal parentage, was selected by the Panther God; married to Storm, who was then also selected by the Panther God.
He's a comic/superhero geek too, and would be glad to try to think of others if you would like him to.
I have been convinced since I first met Kara in person that she is going to be quite an amazing adult some day, but then look at her awesome parents.
