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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Sean, let me know when you get some free time and I'd love to chat.
Holy shitty, bonny. I hope you are overstating, but you don't strike me as one to overstate. Lots of ~ma and update us when you can.
I saw Tosca in Prague and didn't love it, but I am not an opera fan, was standing the whole 3 hrs (cheap seats), and starving. I saw Carmen in Budapest (box seat for under $10) and while Carmen was more brassy than sultry, it was very enjoyable and seeing the inside of the building was worth the price of admission by itself.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Mainly us Southern Californians. After decades away from California, I recently used a definite article in front of a Marin County native who got extremely pissy about it.

You can use 'the' in Chicago if the road has a nickname like "The Dan Ryan" or "The Double Nickel."

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Typo Boy is right. It's a So Cal thing. Nor Cal people make fun of us for it but they're under the illusion we care about that.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
If you are driving NORTH on the PCH, then the ocean is NOT to your right
I once read a published novel where the author went on and on repeatedly about watching the sun rise over the ocean while living in LA. I kept wanting to tell her "Move your main character to the east coast or change your heavy handed symbolism."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
~ma, bonny. I hope it turns out to be nothing.
Sean, I would love to hang out with you, and if you ever get the chance to come to MA, I would be happy to prove it.
