by Red Wolf"I've never seen so much drool." Rose shuddered, baffled that people would get cosmetic surgery to generate superfluous saliva.
"Different customs, Rose." Jack grinned. "Looks like the Doctor forgot that."
The Doctor folded his arms and glared at his companions. "I knew exactly what I was doing."
"You knew the woman drooling in your dinner was proposing marriage? And your reaction was an acceptance? Pull the other one. If me and Jack hadn't claimed you as our mate, you'd be not so happily married now."
"You owe us, Doctor." Jack linked arms with Rose. "Showing some appreciation would be nice."

The very thought of the whole drooling custom makes me a bit nauseous. ;) — via LiveJournal

Weirdly enough, this idea came to me before I started seeing Neopolitan Mastiffs everywhere this week. Great strands of ropey drool seem to be something of an acquired taste — via LiveJournal

Okay, that? Is just gross.
...
Yeah, I can see some culture, somewhere, at some point, deciding that saliva was a good social cue for certain things. People are weird enough to do just about anything.
The Doctor definitely needs to show Jack and Rose some appreciation. Appreciation is good. :-) — via LiveJournal — posted by Elizabeth Culmer at 01.10.2007 14:37 AEST |

I don't consider myself easily made queasy, but the thought of that planet made me shudder quite a bit. Maybe the Doctor blacked the memory out? — via LiveJournal

You're disturbed by spit? I'm sure I could find more disturbing without too much trouble — via LiveJournal

Always have been — don't know why. That's why I stopped watching porn, when the girls started spitting all the time. (Well, that and it got boring. How sad am I, that I want a plot and good lighting?) — via LiveJournal

And your reaction was an acceptance
The mind boggles as to how exactly he managed that :D hehe

The muse is a strange and contrary beast. It's actually throwing ideas at me a lot of late, which would be wonderful if it didn't coincide with a raging case of procrastination. Stupid brain. ::pokes brain with stick:: — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 01.10.2007 14:35 AEST |
