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.

I was going to say, that sounds like Canadian usage to me.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
And it is indeed Canadian; just came across ref to Tim Hortons.
The protags of the story are Native, and using the term. When it's not being used by a Native, it clearly couched as a perjorative.
Thanks, all!
Now! Must get haircut! I am multifaceted, yo.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy Birthday, Vortex!! 40 is a great age and the beginning of a great age!
Hanes white cotton granny panties. I'm so sexy, I don't even have to try.

Mo' money is good!

Gathered lunch from Whole Foods. Hot outside. I have a week's worth of work to do in two days, and all I want to do is go see Avengers again.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Happy birthday, Vortex! I am so sorry I cannot celebrate with you in person.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Happy birthday, Vortex, entering your fifth decade.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Okay, yup, that's fine then, Erin.
I second the Jockey vote, but I also only buy them at Jockey outlets in outlet malls, because I am cheap.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Just talked to my bro. He's physically recovering fairly well from the withdrawal, though the hospital is probably going to keep him until Monday, he thinks. He's got serious vitamin deficiencies to deal with, as well as the hepatitis (his doctor told him he probably had a year AT MOST before it would have progressed to cirrhosis [let's remember he's 35 fucking years old]), but he's doing okay physically, and should recover well in time.
Mentally he's pretty shredded. Now that he's not fighting the horrible withdrawal symptoms, he's stuck in bed contemplating everything that quitting booze is going to entail, like Who Am I Without Booze? and How Do I Deal With Stress/Boredom/Celebrations Without Booze? and Huh, Why Did I Do This In The First Place?
He's tough, and he's from a tough family, many of whom have gone through this, and I know he can get through this.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hey Tep, does he have any digital toys with him in the hospital? (iPad? iPhone?) I could send him some Dropbox links with music or interesting diversions.
