Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I just bought a new cookbook, which is entirely recipes for pie, and now I want to make pie. I'm not sure I have the patience to make most fruit pies, though.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Erin, go clean the catbox. We'll wait. (I've been having to outsource my motivation and self-control lately. Feel free to ignore me, if cleaning the catbox is infeasible)

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

What are shotgun mikes?
Shotgun mics are super cardioid or hyper-cardioid mics. They have a pick up pattern that favors distantly ahead of the mic, and excludes sounds to the side. They have the advantage of not picking up noise around them. You see them for film and tv. Often in that fluffy oblong cover, that's called a zeppelin. That helps keep the wind noise from hitting the microphone.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Hil, apple pies don't take much patience, but they're not very exciting, apart from "Oh! Pie!" (which, granted, goes a long way for me)

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Well, it's a light BDSM romance and the author wrote "he twisted her fingers" but his hands were on her breasts, hence the comment.

I got a $13 bottle of Sauternes from TJ's. It's not as wonderful as the fancy bottle my gay Bostonian old-money prof intro'd me too in grad school, but it's still yummy. I can't open a whole bottle to drink on occasionally at night or else it goes bad before I drink it, so I figured Sauternes is a sipping wine, so it'd be a good call, and I felt like wine.

The Burroughs Mars books WERE misgynistic; Robert Heinlein LOVED them.

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

God bless all of you. I realize you are not puppets to command, but it makes me feel less alone. Tonight is harder than last night.

Huh. I never knew that's what they were called.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Incidentally, someone commented on the John Carter series as a "what these people need is honky" thing. I think Edgar Ric Burroughs, though he may not have invented that, certainly epitomized it. Tarzan - honky in Africa, slaughters an entire tribe in revenge for killing his foster-mother. (Phillip Jose Farmer once called Tarzan "Genocide John". )And didn't Burroughs do a hollow earth book? (explorers with shotguns vs. dinosaurs!) I think when it came to ERB, books not based on the premise that "what these people need is a honky" were the exception.
