You can do it, Jilli. You just wrote a frickin' book!
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

[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.

Ahahahahah. Well, yes, but I did that over not-quite a year. And that was non-fiction. Fiction intimidates me, for some reason.
(I can hear Plei and the StuntHusband cackling in the distance. Being a cartoon is different than writing fiction, dammit!)

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

Well, it is intimidating. You have to make it all up. But you have a strong voice, so the words will come, don't worry.

Wow, context is going to be very very helpful in this instance, isn't it? Because I have no idea what to make of that statement.
Muahahahaha - and I quoth, from "Heroics for Beginners":
The Overlord stood in the center of the room, his head thrown back in silent laughter, his arms raised above his head, his fists clenched in that famous, overly dramatic gesture known to theatre students everywhere as "milking the giant cow".

That's wonderful, CaBil!
Voltmeter is me, except he's tall.
Does the book also have an Ammeter? Can they be defeated by Multimeter?

Ah, all is clear now. Also known as "we're about a minute away from needing to bop him with the big squishy mallet again, aren't we?"

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, how funny, that's actually what I was picturing. Though I was thinking dance move, not pose

No indeed. It does have an Ancient Artifact (Model 7), and the protagonist is Prince Kevin Timberline. The villain is Evil Overlord (recently upgraded from Evil Schoolteacher) Voltmeter, "He Who Must Be Named".

The pet DJ played "Build The Robots" on Saturday night, but it felt very odd to be dancing to it without the StuntHusband.

Hey! That's a thought. (ponders)
If it weren't so slow, I'd get Doug-the-DJ to play "Ode to Revenge" by Doctor Steel; it has many, many moments worthy of milking the giant cow.
