You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.  

[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.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

for a lot of us the DL is more of "what's the lowest number I can semi-plausibly claim and not feel like shit about" than anything true to life.

Heh. I can see how that would work. It's how I estimate my weight when asked it by, say, medical professionals. "Oh, I'm about [taking off fifteen pounds for good measure]..."

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.

Ok, so if a movie turns out to be horribly bad, we are allowed to ask for a refund of ticket price. Not that I have ever done that. And I honestly don't know if people actually do get their money back, or it just ends up being a very pointed gesture.

Are we allowed to ask for our copays back and/or refuse to pay a doctor's bill if s/he gives particularly bad service?

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I got a refund once when the sound went all wonky...but that was b/o technical error on the cinema's part. I would be surprised if anyone would, but no harm making that pointed request....

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I spotted an ad in one of the morning free papers that someone's doing a study on the effects of a vegan diet on acne. No medications or anything, just the effect of the diet.

I put an almost-accurate weight on my driver's license back when I first moved to DC. In 1974. I also put the color my eyes were with my tinted contact lenses. Can't get them to change either. Also, the picture's several years old (I renewed online last year). If they ever check the description or photo against the real me I'm screwed.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

So, this is unexpected: Ryan has acne. I'm not ready for him to be a teenager! He's going to ask me about girls. What do I know about girls?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

He's going to ask me about girls. What do I know about girls?

Now tagless for your comfort.

You made a baby--you know a LOT about girls.

The baby acne is totally an annoying if normal event. We called Owen Bumpy for a week or so. Stupid, immature sebaceous glands.

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

What do I know about girls?

Very little. But you DO know about being a nerd. Play your strengths! Get the kid some glasses with tape and pull his pants up real high.

I'm already doing that. Did I start too early?
