I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

[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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

sj I feel you should record that in ltc's baby book so you can either say "it started early" or embarrass her with it... or both.

I just got Peach's memento! Only 4 more mementos to go (Frosty, Sapphire, Jeeves and Conductor Whiskers) then I will be done!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

WS, I should.

I thought it was hard hosting a Father's Day gathering while 7 months pregnant. Ha! Now I'm hosting one with a 10 month old who is becoming more stubborn by the day. Signed just now getting the beans in the crock pot (good thing they cook overnight) and scratching banana bread from the menu.

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

I went to my friend's cook-out, which was fun. It got to be too much after a few hours, so I left, but I was able to stay for a lot longer than I'd thought I would. And we had an interesting conversation about politics, while the one British guy there kind of looked like he was terrified it was going to explode into a confrontation any minute. (There was one moment when I thought somebody did say something completely stupid, but I kept my cool and found a way to stop arguing that point.) Also, I got to explain caucuses to several foreigners, a few of whom I don't think believed me.

Oh, and one of the other people at the party said that she knows she was a Nazi in a past life, because several people she's met have told her that they knew her then, but she doesn't know if she was "a good Nazi or a bad Nazi." I chose not to comment at all on that.

Always Anti-fascist!

"Good luck with that" I'm such a weirdo magnet she would stick to me like glue made out of humans.

Punishingly Intricate

I only need two mementos--Sapphire and Chairman Meow.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I have six mementos left - Chairman Meow, Billy the Kitten, Bob the Cat, Ms. Fortune, Lady MeowMeow, and Kathmandu.

It's funny, I have the yard stocked with all the stuff Frosty uses, but she only ever uses the snowy pillow.

Sapphire and Jeeves showed up once and I've never seen them again, despite pitting out both talismans very frequently. I thought maybe if I worked the Sugary Style remodel, I'd have a better chance. I have all the remodels now except for the Modern Style... I have no idea if the background makes any difference, but I figured they're good goals to work for.
