Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

it's over an HOUR to cook and then says to cool for THREE MORE HOURS before cutting! Not a chance i have that kind of patience (or wanna stay up that late!). I am so gonna have messy, gloppy, hot pie.

Well, clearly yours is the only rational plan in the face of those conditions. Isn't that what ice cream is for?

Exactly. Put a glob of ice cream on that hot goo and you're good to go.

“Not dead yet!”

Every time I watch Pretty in Pink, I a) cringe at the number of times I chose a Blaine who didn't give a shit over a Duckie (though the times I chose a Duckie didn't work out, either) and b) am stunned all over again by how shapeless and ugly the titular dress is. I mean, at least it looks like something a high school girl would wear, but damn. My sister sewed her prom dress (with help) and it looked way better than that. Oh, and c) what a great soundtrack.

Never had to choose between a Blaine or a Duckie since the Blaines never gave me the time of day, but as far as b and c are concerned, smonster and I are as one.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

My high school was 100% Blaine-free (the high school I would have gone to if I'd stayed in my home district was wall-to-wall Blaine, Steffs, and their female acolytes), though one person (who, Google tells me, is now a middle school communication arts teacher in Warrensburg, MO) did dress up as Duckie for prom, and he and I had one glorious giddy dance together. Whoever his students are, they're lucky lucky kids.

Aw, Woods, with the bad breath he was so ashamed of but couldn't help, and his defensive snarky humor and Cheap Trick t-shirt and mother dying of cancer whom he never, ever talked about but we all knew about. I'm going to dream about him tonight, and wake up tomorrow morning all teary.

And, yeah. That dress was appalling.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

but it's over an HOUR to cook and then says to cool for THREE MORE HOURS before cutting

Hell, you could make a pie from scratch in four hours.

The worst sin of the Pretty in Pink dress was that it was completely fucking anti-climactic.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Actually, the last time I made a fruit pie from scratch it said something similar. That filling is like magma when it comes out.

Which is not to say that scooping out a big gloppy serving and topping it with something cold won't speed up the process.

I just made a blueberry pie somewhat from scratch (the crust was Trader Joe's). NOM NOM NOM.

The filling may be like magma, but I had also made a little tiny pie, which I took out 20 minutes earlier and it was fine.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

That filling is like magma when it comes out.

So, whenever I read the word "magma," I hear it in my head in Dr. Evil's voice. Every. Time.

Anyone else?

Teppy, my roommate had "The Core" on earlier, and I TOTALLY was saying "LIQUID. HOT. MAGMA" all Dr. Evil-esque
