Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?  

[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.

Get comfortable with taking his vitals and it will go a long way to making it easier to cope.

He was a champ while we took his temp. It was a bit low (99.1), but like I said he's definitely perking up so I'm not as concerned. Had no success trying to get his pulse. Felt everywhere I could, tried to listen, had my mom try, no luck. Thanks again for your help and reassurance, bonny.

Compassionately intolerant

That sounds a little crazycakes now that I've stated it outright.

If that's crazycakes, I don't wanna be rightpie.

Thanks again for your help and reassurance, bonny.

Of course, hon. I love me some pooches and their Buffistas.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh, please, someone tell me tomorrow isn't really Monday. Why are weekends so short? It takes me two days to recover from the work week, never mind getting anything done.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I need to find a good biography of Andrew Jackson -- would you recommend the one you gave your dad? And if so, what was the title? (PLEASE tell me it's Andrew Jackson: Badass Motherfucker. PLEASE.)

I like to think it was implied. The title was, IIRC, "American Lion". I think it looked pretty good, though I have to mark it down for apparently not containing the quote, "I have only two regrets: I didn't shoot Henry Clay and I didn't hang John C. Calhoun." John C. Calhoun being his Vice President.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The title was, IIRC, "American Lion".

Wow. That's dangerously close to "I have tiger blood!" That is AWESOME.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I want to believe I kicked off the SodaStream trend, 3+ years ago (best. purchase. EVER.), but I think I heard about it from someone else here who had one. Maybe Jessica?

I think I first knew about home fizzy water from Jessica and then the SodaStream from you, Steph?

Man, I love mine. I can't believe I've had it less than a year. I can fizz water! And, sure, I'll put things in it but mostly I just drink plain (heh) fizzed water. Bubbles!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

(PLEASE tell me it's Andrew Jackson: Badass Motherfucker. PLEASE.)

I would go get a history degree just to teach that text.

I gotta read me that this summer. I need to branch out out of the author bios. Well, I did read The Duchess, and a bio of Alva and Consuelo Vanderbilt that was really interesting.

I am done for the night. I mean, with school work. WOO HOO! It's only 10:04! Now I can shower, fold laundry, start oatmeal and relax for the next...55 minutes. JOY.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I got Emmett this history book for xmas and he loves it. (It's from the same guy at Cracked, and it's (a) very funny and (b) historically accurate.)

Oh, that's awesome! I've read all those Cracked articles, but I didn't know they came out in a book. I may get that for Dan's bday.
