[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.

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.

In snarkier moments, of which I am not proud, I have severely judged people who answer the question "What are you thinking?" with "Nothing." And mean it.

For me, that "Nothing," tends to mean, "Um, I didn't know there was going to be a quiz about it, and I have already forgotten," or, "Nothing that I'd care to admit to out loud lest I be thought completely wacko," or possibly, "Very unflattering things about you, your mother, and several mentally handicapped donkeys."

Compassionately intolerant

"Very unflattering things about you, your mother, and several mentally handicapped donkeys."

I had not considered this highly likely possibility.

The "I didn't know there would be a quiz" is, I think, another quite popular option...especially among my past boyfriends.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ask me what I am thinking and it flies right out of my head to be replaced by something along the lines of "Oh, crap, say something, preferably in English"

When I worked at an agricultural chemicals warehouse, we had walkie-talkies to communicate between the main office and the warehouse. I hated using the things. One time I said some long sentence about filling an order and how I thought we could manage to get it delivered under near-impossible conditions. Then the office manager asked if I could repeat it. And I had to say, "No, because I don't remember what I said."

All the warehouse guys laughed at me for at least a week on that one.

Oh, I hate having to repeat what I just said, because I don't keep a tape running. Hubby does, darn him.

Someone call JZ. I'm in Salon letters and I can't get out.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Yes. But not YOU. Because your mental health is more important than theirs. Step away from Salon.

Oh, well that's different. If they're wrong you should straighten them out.
