My 200th Post!

There should be fanfare and booze and all that stuff, but I just want to take this opportunity to thank my buddy, Spikedru, for lending a hand with my funnier entries. Love ya, girl!

Here’s what she says about this gem:

I’ve been a cover pixie for Bam’s wonderful “It’s Not Porn, I Swear” site for a little while. When I am trolling around the local charity shops, I make for the bins of Mills & Boon paperbacks and buy any whose covers strike me as snark-bait, then I scan them and send them over for Bam to be all editor-like about them. Yesterday was my first Saturday troll for a couple of weeks and to my delight some people had clearly donated a ton of books in a New Year clean-out as there were lots of new ones. I have a thing for the 70s/80s designs which are often either very orange, very alarming in their depictions of apparently rohypnolled heroines, or both. So my eye was caught by one cover because it was orange and in the 70s design. Then I looked closer, as something in the corner caught my eye.

You guys, if you don’t know this, Spikedru is a huge fan of everything Whedon (it’s okay, girl. Love ya, anyway!), so of course she would see what’s glaringly obvious! That’s Spike right there! Look at it! It’s Spike! Hmm… I always suspected that James Marsters lied about his age. Even if you were never a Buffy fan, you gotta see it. I never saw the appeal with Spike, but I do concede the whole Billy Idol thing… Man, doesn’t Spike look kind of old even in the early 80s?

Anyway, thank you, Spikedru! I dedicate my 200th post to you!
