[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.

Compassionately intolerant

Although we have enough home-grown stupid we don't need to import any

True that.

Which makes me wonder. Does any other culture have a designation like "The Ugly American?" I've certainly used that phrase myself...on one or two occasions ON myself...but have never heard such anywhere else in my travels.

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

I don't know if there's a term for it, but Aussies have a rep for drunken, outrageous behaviour on holiday in some locales (fuelled entirely by my brother, near as I can tell). For Brits I think the relevant term would be 'football hooligan'.

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

Where do all my vegetable broth containers go? I have a certain kind of plastic container that I only use for vegetable broth. I know that, last time I made broth, I had ten containers. I've used up all the broth in my freezer, but now I seem to only have seven containers. Which means I need to go out and buy more containers, which seems to happen every time I make broth.

Happy Birthday, sj!

Happy Anniversary, Bev!

a selection of rather spoilery clips from Season 2 to whet your appetite, should it be needful.
If that's what boys do after kissing (fight), clearly I don't want to be gay. Um. ND, thanks for not punching me after the snog at prom.

It's like the good guy has completely blanked on the possibility that some people are just mean shits who like hurting people.
The last episode of S3 Dr. Who, when they opened the orb. (spoil font, in case I'm not the only one who hasn't watched it yet).

"Why are you killing your own race?"

"Because it's fun"

Very creepy!

I recommend watching Torchwood, if you are interested in seeing more of the Whoverse.
Ha! First read of that, I thought it said "Whoreverse". After reading some other opinions, it might not be far off the mark.

Oh, and speaking of OMG at the end of season 3, the Captains walk away comment to the Doctor and his lovely doctor friend, "They called me the face of Boe ", was really mind blowing.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

the Captains walk away comment to the Doctor and his lovely doctor friend

that bugs me. It's so obviously retcon.

No, BC, the protective slip goes between the carbon and the NEXT check, not between the carbon and THIS check.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Happy birthday, sj! It was great meeting you in Seattle, and it's too bad we didn't get to hang out more.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Hil, I consider tupperware and its ilk to be in the same category as pens, socks, and lighters - their numbers will wax and wane without explanation and there's really nothing to be done about but shrug and restock as necessary.
