Catches Thieves Just Like A Cold.

On Wednesday evening, not having much to do, I turned on the television to find some sort of BBC school drama. Two schoolboys were speaking urgently, facing each other in an otherwise empty room; one, Josh, was explaining that he didn't fancy his girlfriend, and the other, Finn, was saying 'who cares; it's still a lay, isn't it?'

Well, I thought,

I love Man-Spider! He is adorable and awesome!

Once, my parents and I were watching some show on BBC America (The State Within? Am I imagining titles again?), and my mom went "Those two guys arguing are a couple." And my dad and I were like, "No way!", and then they kissed. (The guys on TV. Not my parents. That wouldn't be remarkable or worth commenting on, as they kiss several times a day.)

My mom was incredibly smug. However, her other two instances of slash goggles did not turn out to be canon (one was spoilery for a thing you might not want information about, where she actually did expect it to be canon, and one was Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day, where she didn't, but just had fun giggling).

Thank you! I'm not a big fan of spiders, on the whole, but I am quite fond of Man-Spider. (Also, there's a spider who seems to have set up home outside our sitting-room window. I'm starting to feel that perhaps I should name her, as we've been acquainted for a week or so. 'Clara', perhaps?)

And my dad and I were like, "No way!", and then they kissed. (The guys on TV. Not my parents. That wouldn't be remarkable or worth commenting on, as they kiss several times a day.)

Hee! (Congratulations to your mother on her occasionally accurate slash goggles!)

Spiders should be names Boris. It's a rule. Well, not so much a rule as a bad joke, but close enough.

One of the first bosses you fight in Final Fantasy X-2 is a giant spider named Boris. When you magically scan him at his strongest, you get the description 'During battle, he grows progressively stronger, a vile breach of etiquette', which I find inexplicably hilarious.

Okay, that is awesome! And also inexplicably hilarious!

My mom named the spider that camped out on our back porch Spideris (really cheesy kids show spider character) and was very happy with him till she found out he was poisonous.
