Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

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.

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

And other sorts of climbing.

My boss just said I can go home after 11:00 (gotta send out a newsletter then)--yay! I get to lay down with my heating pad.

Is "belated" the only form of "belay" that gets used anymore? (Except "belay" is used in the military, right?)

The Navy. Or when you're trying to talk like a pirate.

And rappelling

But with a completely different meaning, no?

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

That's what I figured. Because Captain Kirk said it once. (Some alien put a bomb in engineering that would blow up if the Enterprise went into warp.)

Are belated and belay actually related? Belated is used to describe something that is late and belay means to rescind (as in "belay that order")

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

Belay that belay line!

Maybe they're related -- the line stops you from plummeting to your death.

Trust my rage

While I don't know for sure, I think they are un related. My attempt at grammar humor fell a little flat.

I would think they're related. "Belay" means to stop/prevent/delay(?), and "belated" means "was delayed".

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

waking up for first day back to work is a CRUEL CRUEL thing.

Gronk.

WRT skins... they have them for iPhone too! These are the ones that struck my fancy (although I really need to curtail spending until f2f is paid off!)
