What do your minions have to say about THIS ONE?

Well, I don't know about the minions, but on the basis of the evidence, I daresay Kelne agrees.

I heard she last got fired after Atlus caught her on wallscroll and started selling the compromising images in their Ninjas Gone Wild brand.

Well, if I may dip into the stew of social constructs, women are supposedly known to be more limber and flexible and have a knack for guile and subterfuge. Contrariwise, men are supposedly known for their pure "beef" and pain tolerance, as well as dedication and seeking only facts, as opposed to details.

So I guess what it really comes down to is that girls do make better ninjas, but boys make better samurai. But don't tell Baiken or Ryu Hayabusa.
Anime is kind of like fish in that it is better the less "fishy" it is.

I thought women physiologically had a naturally higher threshold o' pain than guys?

I've been told that women are better at handling pain over long periods of time and/or building pain ,where men are better at handling sudden pain. I don't have anything to back that up with, though.

That's based on the theory that muscle fatigue and soreness are due to a buildup of lactic acid, which women are theoretically better at storing and processing due to active mammary glands. This has since been shown to be unlikely; mechanisms of muscle fatigue are more related to tissue damage and osmosis than lactic acid. Of course, that rules out just that one theory; it's entirely possible that women are indeed capable of greater feats of endurance than men, but I have not seen or heard of evidence to support (or, for that matter, to contradict).

Which is best visualized as a vicious, lazy, profoundly ignorant, perpetually hungry organism craving the warm god-flesh of the anointed. Personally I like to imagine something the size of a baby hippo, the color of a week-old boiled potato, that lives by itself, in the dark, in a double-wide on the outskirts of Topeka. It's covered with eyes and it sweats constantly. The sweat runs into those eyes and makes them sting. It has no mouth, Laney, no genitals, and can only express its mute extremes of murderous rage and infantile desire by changing the channels on a universal remote. Or by voting in presidential elections."

Is that a card catalogue on the table in the back of the room?

Is the jewelery box an older piece of furniture, by chance? I've seen that style a a few 'antique' shops (you know, the kind of place that sells stuff that's as young as 1 year old or as old as a 100), and then there was a period in time when overpriced why-not-buy-it-at-the-mall furniture imitated the style.

I had the name at one point, I think, from deviantArt of all places (someone bought and refinished a piece), but now I only know it as "that thing where there are rows and columns of lots of itty bitty square-ish drawers that look neat but I don't think I could ever actually store stuff in."
