I have such a hard time wrapping my head around your mother's train of thought, p-c. It breaks my brain every time.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
She's certainly not the first mother to pull the "You'll be happier when I'm dead!" card, though.

I'm reading the Game of Thrones books, and just got to a part that's making me all flaily and wanting to kick things and say, "You can't do that!" Then I need to remember that it's just a book.
But really. He can't do that!

The best my mother ever came up with was a tearful "Don't you love me?" to which I replied, "Don't ask questions you don't want the answer to."

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
It really is the lion bit that makes it, though.

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

Hil, I'm willing to bet I know *exactly* what part you just read. Are you a little over halfway through book three?

Oof.

True, but I did set her up for that. Unintentionally.

Ha ha ha, Mark brings that up at every one of his events. I am dreadfully curious about whatever it is. But she's in Clash of Kings.
I have ONE MORE BOOK to read in my queue, and then I start Game of Thrones ! It's finally happening!

Nope. Close to the end of book two.

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

I started reading them on the way back from China. (Picked up the first book in Hong Kong Airport.) I feel someone should redo "I'm Glad I'm Not A Kennedy" as "I'm Glad I'm Not A Stark".
