Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Ugh, just got an email that I have to change desks next week. Perfect timing, since we're being inundated with stuff people are trying to finish up before the holiday shutdown. The new desk is a slightly different configuration, so I have to figure out my stuff, and I have A LOT of stuff, so I should lose at least 2 or 3 hours to this move. Yay.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

If everyone's okay with moving to Germany, this could be Buffista Village: Alwine Germany, a village with about a dozen buildings and 20 mostly retired residents, is for sale, the auction is this weekend, bids starting at $147,000. That's amazing. I'm going to watch the auction and see how much it ends up going for.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

How's their healthcare system? Better than ours, obviously.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

How's their healthcare system? Better than ours, obviously.

It exists, so yes.

(I'm concerned about buying residents?)

Our wings are not tired.

Germany is good. DH lived there for several years and loved it.

I'm all proud of myself. DH had a basketball game to coach and the kids were tired from work so I went to the city boat parade all by myself. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it would have been a lot less effort to stay home and skip it. Had to stand on the bridge for 45 minutes before the boats arrived but I chatted with the bridge master and cops and other festive citizens. The weather was grand, which helped.

The residents are not for sale, as far as I know. But apparently the houses they live in are.

I like Germany.

I'm good with Germany. I like Angela Merkel.

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

I love boat parades. Would not mind Germany, I think.

Germany could be cool. If we buy the town, do we get citizenship?

meara, you'd think so, right?
