BATTLE BEAGLE

[ask_aboutcoffee]

When Jack found Max and made The Internet convince me we should keep him, I reckoned he was about six or seven weeks old. It's an interesting (actually it's really not that interesting) fact that horses in most competitive activity always turn a year older on January first, and if it's good enough for horses it's good enough for beagles, I suppose

There are fairy cakes. Butter cream icing.

Have ONE. One is for Max. None are for Vera.

There's something LOLable about eating cake when getting shit done? Part of being an awesome leader of men is multitasking on the go.

Not all of us have to "Use a spoon to eat soup, Jack".

And let me tell you, if the rain is pelting on me, it is MOST CERTAINLY dramatic.

Cupcakes with sprinkles, very LOLable. Now I'm picturing pink icing on your nose. Sorry, Jack.

[ask_captainjack]

Pink is my colour. I've heard you scream those very words in ecstacy a billion times.

[ask_aboutcoffee]

Oh really?

(Gwen took it. She got pink. I got green. She wouldn't swap.)

[gwen_e_cooper]

What else does he keep in there? Snacks, .455 webley bullets with hollow bases... those take up a lot of space. They're roomy pockets though.

(Don't worry, Jack. You don't look bulky when running.)

[ask_aboutcoffee]

I can tell you, but are you certain you want that?

[gwen_e_cooper]

Sure!

Wait.

No.

[ask_aboutcoffee]

I love watching you go through the stages of denial, consideration, and deeper denial.

Everyone thinks the coat is a crazy party animal, but do you know what I really keep in my pockets?

A photo of my long-dead family. It’s 1957. A beautiful spring day. We’re all on the lawn beside the brand-new swing set I built for the kids. That’s how I like to think of them. Forever captured in time.

HA HA HA I’m kidding. There’s usually only bullets and lube in my pockets.

[ask_aboutcoffee]

Funny, bullets and lube aren't the only things I find when I go through those pockets before washing it. It's like a start-your-own-sexual-revolution mini-kit in there.

[gwen_e_cooper]

Guess that rumour on the UNIT intranet WAS true.

Doesn't explain the scent though. Unless the flavour of the...

No. Wait. Never mind.

[ask_aboutcoffee]

Do they make "fresh baked goods" flavoured lubricant? I feel I would know if they did, but if you're holding out on me prepare for a FROWNY FACE.

[ask_captainjack]

They put vanilla in so many things these days. Don't blame me!

I just walk into the shop and announce I need some lube. I don't read the labels or inquire as to its price.

[gwen_e_cooper]

I READ THAT in Cosmo!

Neurologist Alan Hirsch of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation discovered that in mature men, vanilla was the most sexually arousing scent.

I'll try that when I run out of that one Rhys's mate (Banana) gave me for Crimbo. (Banana).

[ask_aboutcoffee]

Have I mentioned how incredibly creepy I find Banana? (man, not fruit, quite fond of the fruit)
