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.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

My mother used to date a janitor. So the whole time that nimrod's clip is playing, I'm thinking "At least say "custodian" or "facilities" asshole."(and that job is way too serious for urchins with brooms...honestly, till I met B. I had *no idea* how much they are put in charge of,which made me all "Bad lefty...no union-made biscuit," but the good ones make it all invisible and shit. The heating, cooling, and lighting of public schools is in their hands, as are environmental retrofits...it's a real job, not just a track for obnoxious poor students(although that's probably how B. got started.) my brother was such a dick yesterday...he literally flounced off. Though Mom said B. was immature, he was not jailbait. Am I a bad person for wishing Karl Rove's route to Hopkins had been a bit more...scenic? "Mic check, motherfucker!"

I saw something by someone who'd actually worked as a janitor/ custodian at a school who pointed out that the kids would be cleaning up all kinds of bodily fluids AND using heavy-duty industrial cleaners and equipment.

It's major, yeah. But Newt never bothers to learn anything about the little people(or anything else, either.) "Republican intellectual" "Jumbo shrimp." IJS.

"Military intelligence"?

The status is NOT quo.

My uncle was a facilities person at a local New Hampshire school, and the stories he tells are beyond horrific.

exactly. Also, Newt looks like shit for his (claimed0 age. My mom is supposedly three years behind him--they look like different life forms.

Perhaps it's a reverse of Dorian Gray - somewhere there's a portrait of Newt that remains young and as good looking as he ever was.

eta: well, a portrait isn't supposed to change, is it? oh well ....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Like all portraits of, like, everyone? :)

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

"Military intelligence"?

I'm not sure Stephanie (or any other Buffista who is a former member of the military) would appreciate that particular perceived juxtaposition.

After posting I realized ... I'm almost the last one in the office with a few things to clear up - and I'm obligated to stay for another (checks watch) 39 minutes. My brain, however, is already out the door.
