Tweak has some fangirlish commentary for us today.

Buy the damn roses, Brian

What do you think would have been different if Brian had bought the roses? (Also does anyone have an icon of Brian holding the not-purchased roses?)

Hi everyone!

I just realized I have almost no Jewish icons! which would have been just fine if I wasn't Jewish, but I am, and therefore must have more jewish icons!

I was hoping maybe someone would be willing to make me some icons with Jewish references, like when Mel says "that's right, blame the Jew" or maybe some with Ted in the Gay-Jewish-bar night party or whatever it was in season 5... if you need more, I can give them to you on the comments.

Thanks in advance!

Title: First Snow...or Not (A Thanksgiving Visit part III)
Author: BookGirl
Prompt: First Snow

“Hey kids, look! The first snowfall of the year!” Michael gestured excitedly at the window.
“It already snowed lots in Canada, Uncle Michael.” Gus announced, clearly unimpressed.
Justin smirked. “In New York too.”
“Really?” Gus asked, staring up at Justin.
“Yep.” Justin smiled and scooped Gus up in his arms. He drew snowflakes on the frosted glass as he spoke. “In fact I bet it starts in Canada and then sweeps down to New York. It's like we're sharing the same snow.”
“Cool! Is that why you and Dad were so late for dinner? Because of our snow?”

Notes: So far these are falling in chronological order. Not sure if that will continue. We'll see! Oh, and no beta, so this is entirely my fault.


Brian rolled over and landed in a cold spot. He opened his eyes and stared at the place where Justin’s warm ass should have been.

He shoved his hair out of his eyes, grumbling. First, Justin slipped into a tryptophan-induced coma. Then, Brian had to wake him to punish him severely for his lack of decorum.

Well, that depended on one’s definition of punishment.

And now he was gone.

“Hey.”

“Where the hell were you?”

“Calling Mel and Linds, and Michael.”

“Why?”

“First snowfall. We’re taking Gus and JR to the park.”

Maybe he could bury Justin in a snowbank…

I hope all the Americans had a wonderful Thanksgiving and everyone is having a great weekend. Just a quick reminder post about the Episode 107 marathon happening tomorrow at 8pm CET (2pm US east coast/11am US west coast)! I hope to see all of you there, and if you can't be there "live" then stop by later!

A quick programing note: I am going to be out of town next weekend (Sunday Dec 6). Is someone else willing to do the posting for the 108 marathon?

He’s still asleep. It’s been three hours since we left his mother’s, and four since Deb’s. I have no idea where he put everything that he stuffed in his mouth. My Christmas wish is that it goes to his ass.

Speaking of which…I lean over and smack it, and my dick gets hard from both the red flush and his yelp.

“Brian, what the fuck?”

“It’s been five hours since I fucked you. My dick is lonely.”

“Since when did I have to be awake for you to fuck me?”

“”You don’t. But it would be nice if you were.”

Really really did not like "Coco Before Chanel." Audrey Tautou is gorgeous and I could have looked at her all day, but I found her character's motivations unfathomable, and I had no sense at all where Chanel's great talent and style came from, nor was there any sense of the force in design she would one day become.

This was nothing but an overblown romance that somehow reduced everything she did to being about some guy. Nauseating. I HATED it.

Beautiful, yes. But blech.

I wish someone would make the Chanel film that is in my head. Because this is DEFINITELY not it.

You give a shit!


This moment, this episode, fills me with love. What a way to get dropped off at school.

( A Thanksgiving Visit II  )

I can't handle the crowds on Black Friday, and besides, my holiday shopping, such as it is, is done. (We're buying for the kids only this year, due to the financial problems of one of my brothers).

So my sisters in law and I are going to see "Coco Before Chanel," while my brothers and their sons do their manly, boy-ly thing without us. And then this evening, not_yet_defined is doing a marathon of 101-102 and 512-513 over at qaf_marathons, so that's what I'll be doing when I get home!

See you then!

Title: Moment of Clarity

Prompt: Stuffed
Notes: It's almost the Silly Season in Australia.

Ted had run out of Claratyne. The drugstore was closed.

He went to Emmett's despite his stuffed sinus. But Emmett's Persian cat loved laps. Ted's inner ear began itching.

Ted drank to forget. He proved allergic to the preservatives in the wine. His eyelids swelled.

Ted prayed in the bathroom. Tiphini entered, sacrilegiously regurgitating a furball.

'I'm leaving, Emmett. I can't pat pussy anymore'.
'But that's not who you are. You love cats!'
'I made a promise to God. If He never deprives me of effective antihistamines again, I'll never expose myself to known allergens.'

Ted had seen the light.
