Apparently, though, moving swiftly isn’t too hard when the alternative is having a little SPINE and ‘fessing up to your OWN stinky shit. Maybe Kleenex will offer her a scholarship to the WDS Institute. Too bad she didn’t think about potential [impact on her children] (or anybody’s feelings but her own) when she was busy cutting up. Considering the visitation thing before popping off at the chops would have required her thinking about her KIDS, wouldn’t it?” — Tavia

“It’s amazing how fast she could move with her tail wedged firmly between her legs. But I suppose that kind of maneuverability is easier when you don’t have a spine.” — Tavia

“It might help you understand male psychology if you understand that men see themselves as sexual hunters, like proud jungle cats. They pursue their female quarry through the jungles of seduction and then, with grace and power, they pounce. Then they cling to your leg and whine for the rest of their pathetic lives. My advice to you, my little gazelles, is RUN like HELL” — Steve Burgess, “Hey Baby & Other Lies – Chatelaine, June 1999”

“I say, I don’t care if you want to act like a child — I’m going to treat you like an adult. Which means that your actions have adult consequences.
