Can 'time machine' be made steampunkier? Like, say, "chronological locomotive'?
Mal: You want to tell me how come there's a statue of you here looking at me like I owe him something? Jayne: Wishing I could, Captain.

[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.

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

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
The alt-text made me laugh and laugh.
I KNOW!
Jilli, how about Mechanical Personal Assistant?

Er ... no. Because WOW, could that be mis-interpreted.

I do like that.
"Cupcake Goth Jillian is still searching for a Chronocomotive from a reputable vendor".

I was just too lazy and undercoffeed to remember how to spell Personal Assistant Automaton as Tommyrot suggested.
Though now I want steampunk versions of Real Dolls.

A chronocomotive is cool because it's a steam-powered time-machine... on rails!
Huh. That would make folk music about hobos ridin' trains a lot... different.

Hee. We had to do some kind of line dance thing to that song in elementary school, and it HAUNTED me for YEARS. It ended up being one of the first songs I...ahemed...years later when that became available. Since I wasn't about to hunt it down on CD or anything. And had no idea who it was by, for a long long time. Or anything other than the lyrics "whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh, Montego Bay..."

No problem, I'll call Harold and his purple crayon to save him.
