The nice thing about tonight was that once I turned off the porch light, no one else came.
I don't recall any dressed up parents though.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

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.

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

So, I'm watching next week's Scandal while waiting for the Aleve to kick in (for some reason I decided to put on my bedskirt at 1AM and it didn't go well) and they're doing that tired old trope of trying to get diplomatic immunity revoked. In real life, that shit does not happen. The diplomat gets quietly PNGed and goes back to their country. Which is what happened in this case but with a lot more hoopla.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
What's PNG?

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

Sorry -- Persona non grata. Means that they are no longer welcome in the country.

Yeah, that case was never going to turn out differently.

Oh, okay, thanks! I should have known that.
I'm going to try to sleep now. Work is closed again tomorrow and I'm going shopping for trousers and shoes for England. I have nothing acceptable.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
At Wicked tonight, they were fundraising for the Broadway Cares charity. $20 raffle tickets with a prize of getting a walk-on role in one performance of Wicked! Why yes, I bought one. Please oh please let me win. I swear I won't mug Elphaba for her hat OR Galinda for her wand. Swear.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Galactus, I believe. Marvel Comics, Eater of Worlds, creator of the Silver Surfer.
In retrospect, duh. Big headed guy, likes purple, word's not back on Prince yet? He's a cranky one, sometimes, you have to be really grateful for a Norrin Radd or two around the place.
In fact, it's best to stock up during Raddilicious periods. You never know when he'll show up. Well, apart from Norrin Radd coming by...I sense a potential flaw in my plan--but try it! Worst comes to worst, you've got extra Norrins to take with you into the void.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My rule is, no treats (I give pretzel packets instead of candy) for kids over 3 feet tall. Mostly. I set up early for the toddler set and run out really, really quickly.
My feeling is that the toddlers really have no idea what's going on, and mostly seem confused by the whole thing. The older kids are the ones who are actually having fun with it.
