Congrats, Nora!
At the club I go to on Friday nights, the bartenders all give change in the smallest bills possible, and I know it's because they want to make it easy for drunk patrons to tip. Which I think is very smart of them.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

[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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I like jackhole in mixed company. Not technically a bad word, but everyone knows what you mean.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I generally tip 20%, but I've always thought that tying tip to the cost of the food is weird. I mean, if I order the $20 entree and you order the $10 burger, and we're dining together, am I really getting service that's twice as good?
But I understand that tying it to cost of food makes it easy to calculate, vs. a set amount. Still, it's odd.

Yay, Nora! (And you never sucked.)
For some reason, all the bad drivers I yell at are shitheads, even though it's a term I otherwise rarely use.
Today I realized another wonderful thing about a dog: a dog will never ask you for free tech support.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I now call people "assbutt" a lot. But only in my head. If I ever said it out loud I would crack up laughing. And possibly explode.

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

I'm trying to think of other services for which I tip, and whether they're tied to the amount of money I spend. I think I do tip roughly 20% when I get my hair cut. When I've checked my bags curbside at the airport, I've tipped the dude $1 a bag, but it's been a while since I've flown anywhere; maybe that's too low these days.
I tip more than 20% when I eat some place where my total is less than $10, because I just think less than $2 is a lousy tip if I'm sitting at your table and you're bringing me food and drink.

I am one of the people who has bitched about breaking the bill for change, because I think that when I leave a twenty, a one and a quarter for a $10.25 bill, it's reasonable to expect a ten and not a five and five ones.

Jackhole is another favorite, smonster. I use that one all the time.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I've been using jackass as my go-to invective.
Yay, Nora!!!
