Rob Ford is right now making a speech where he admits to smoking crack AND announces his reelection campaign.
That's a new platform.
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Somehow, I think we're past the era of "I didn't inhale".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, and his excuse for smoking crack was that he was drunk at the time.
Favorite! "I dunno, maybe I did smoke crack? But only when I was super wasted. You guys know how I get!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
but sexy stuff is a big NO.
Can they buy you a sexy dress or something that's not underwear or sleepwear?
Also, who can buy you sexy stuff?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I think plain or cutesy underwear is one thing (Christmas boxers, "worlds best grandma" sleep shirt, six pack of basic cotton for a stocking-stuffer) but sexy stuff is a big NO.
Yeah, flannel nighties for Christmas is one thing. Sexy things for your honeymoon is another.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I can buy myself sexy things. People I am currently having sex with can buy me sexy things (theoretical people, we are all clear on reality).
I did not mean to startle the thread with the thought of me and you know. I will whiutefont.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I didn't vote, as all the MD elections were too local. I will be glad not to have to listen/watch any more ads for the garbage nightmare of a governor's race in VA.

I would say no, in general, BUT I do give dispensation for pretty stuff at a bridal shower. I am in the sensible middle!
On my way out from voting, I gave a quote to the Harvard newspaper. Why did I bother? I cannot resist a reporter!

Even if I were giving crack smoking a pass, I'd still have to go with NO based on this seeming like a GOOD answer to him!?!

if people can't pay healthcare costs out of pocket, they should "better themselves" and get jobs that pay better.
The out-of-pocket costs for my cancer care so far are about $750,000. What kind of job would I have had to have to pay for that?
I would consider "you know I do really stupid things when I'm drunk" a disqualification.
