Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

[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.

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

One thing I've always wondered about raw food diets: Aren't there a lot of veggies and such that need to be cooked somehow for our bodies to digest them?

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

Aren't there a lot of veggies and such that need to be cooked somehow for our bodies to digest them?

Yes. Because otherwise they will never enter my stomach.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Emeline didn't get the baby acne, but boy howdy did she get the cradle cap. She smelled like a salad for two months. But holy cats was her head soft.

You guys have your *weight* on your drivers' licenses??

Well, yes, but it's self-reported and not checked or updated or anything. Hence the noteworthiness of it actually reflecting reality - 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.

Yep. A few years ago, I was renewing my driver's license and noticed that the weight category was gone. I mentioned it to the clerk and she said "yeah, we were tired of people lying to us" Har.

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

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.

My skin has cleared up some since I stopped eating dairy, but I don't know it it's just coincidence -- my skin tends to break out for a while, then clear up for a while, in no pattern I've ever been able to discern.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

So my mom, my sister, and I are throwing my brother's fiance a bridal shower in a few weeks. As usual with any big do I throw, I need Bitch approval/suggestions on the menu:

Spinach salad with strawberries, walnuts, bleu cheese crumbles - citurs poppyseed dressing
Chicken waldorf salad
Tortellini pesto salad
Tomato asparagus salad
Veggie tray
Fruit tray
Cheese tray
Lemon glazed poundcake
Mom's whipped cream jelly cake
Various cookies
Fruit punch - probably a raspberry lemonade
Iced tea
Coffee
"Adult" punch - probably a peach margarita type thing

We're going for light and fresh. Thoughts? Comments? Other suggestions?
