[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.
Imagine if Michelle and Barack were having a baby, though. The media here would be all over that, I think.
Also, the new prince is one of those children that's famous at birth. I always find them fascinating, just because they end up living such different lives than other kids in a lot of ways.
She's nuts. Nuts and manipulative in a really unpleasant way.
On a different note, today is Cleveland's 217th birthday. And it has made the top of a list of best cities to be in when the world ends. [link] Usual caveat on comments applies, but there is one of note: "In Cleveland, Armageddon is business as usual."
Me:
Am I a heretic for not really caring about the birth of the Royal Baby Boy? Granted, I also can't understand why everyone fusses over celebrity babies period.
Also me:
They could get my attention by naming him Aethelred.
I also note that I have friends both here and elsewhere who are into it, and I'm genuinely happy to see their squee, just for the fact that they are a-squee-ing -- but the object of squee, or rather his family business, just ain't my beautiful cake.
If I were monarchy, I wander around all the time saying "I know monarchy is problematic, but...NOT GIVING IT BACK."
Or I'd be like that secretary who discovered she was a Ghanaian king and be all good deedsy about it.
Or both. I'd try both.

King Peggy! What a wonderful woman.

I'm neutral -- but, baby, yay! -- and in observing social media today, I'm a little appalled at people who are being dicks about other people's squee. (That does NOT apply to anyone here.) And people who suddenly act willfully ignorant that public figures exist and that non-public individuals might evince interest in something other than their own 2-inch personal bubble.
Which is why I love my Buffistas. If the royal baby isn't your beautiful royal cake, you aren't a dick about people who are totally digging it. Because we are awesome.
Now I want cake.
I'm a little appalled at people who are being dicks about other people's squee.
YES. EXACTLY THIS.
I do suspect that Royal Cake involves Royal Icing.

I've had a couple of people be dicks. One was family, so I gave her crap right back. The other has dubious taste in college football teams so I can her a ton of shit about that.
I'm happy for anything that makes my friends happy. I'm just not personally feeling it.
