I think RT posted about #6. I have no idea if it's sfw, and I'm not checking to find out.

HOw weird. I am wearing that exact outfit right now. And practicing mixing the martinis for when my baby takes another home again, to find me waiting for him.

Don't those bows on the stockings tickle your thighs?

Except for the slight sandal tan (which isn't bad, just less than ideal) and the ugly whatever-the-hell kind of jewelry that is, what the hell's wrong with those feet? Seem perfectly okay to me. I'm no connoseur, but WTF?

We are sooo in different socio-economic/coolness classes that it's scary.

Let's just say (hypothetically, of course) that someone you know (let's call her dtp) was on a beach vacation (for example). While relaxing on the beach, a fellow vacationer awakens ms.dtp from her peaceful slumber to offer some officious parenting advice regarding dtp's eldest child. dtp nods politely, though the advice giver (let's call her Shamu) is way off base and it's none of her motherfucking business. dtp speaks to her eldest child and tells him not to play with Shamu's pups anymore, as Shamu appears to be mentally unbalanced.

So the dtp-offspring and dtp (and the help, natch) are enjoying some lunch, and Shamu won't let it drop. Shamu comes back (to the dtp LUNCH TABLE!) to offer further officious suggestions (and to clarify her prior advice). At this point, dtp has had enough and suggests that officious advice goes both ways. If Shamu wants to offer it, she should be able to hear it as well. dtp then proceeds to suggest that Shamu's daughter may want to lay off the cheeseburgers.

Shamu is shocked (SHOCKED!) that dtp would say such a thing, but doesn't mess with dtp the rest of the vacation.

So, my question for the expert meanies out there is, were such a thing to have occurred, would (the hypothetical) dtp's response have been (a) not mean enough, (b) too mean, or (c) just right?

Inquiring minds MUST know.

Just mean enough. If you'd gone any harder, she might have sat on your kids.

I guess I just don't have your ability to truly appreciate fine feet.

What's to get? It's not about brevity. It's about creativity. "Ghost" takes as long to say as "out." Someone (I think Grand Puba was the first, but I could easily be wrong) took it a step further and started saying, "I'm Swayze" (pronounced Swayz or Swayzee, depending).

"5,000" is short for "Audi 5,000 or 5Gs" because people used to say "I'm Audi" instead of "out."

Oh you negroes and your colorful language!!! We must have lunch at the club some day and discuss this whole "street" lingo thing. I think it could catch on in the entertainment field in a big way, perhaps in the form of word poems set to music, or what the hippies used to call "rapping?"

You're fading in and out of coherence, but if you're asking why his name is slang, it's because "Swayze" was shorthand for "Ghost," which meant "gone" or "out." It kind of took over for "5,000."

I love it when Francis explains all the crazy mad dope fresh hepcat slang the kids are groovin' on these days.

ETA: I just passed over the Wonk horizon into Wonkville and can now never return to normality. Goodnight and good luck.

I was somewhere recently where a well-meaning bystander (nosy bitch) took it upon herself to point out that the Brazenette was without shoes, and so was at risk of hurting herself.

It wasn't enough that she interupted me once to tell me this... but when I failed to correct my obviosu parenting oversight, she returned to speak to me about it 2 more times.

Finally I said to her "I assure you I will not enlist your help should I have to take my daughter to the emergency room." What I was thinking was "Who the fuck made you in charge of my kid?"

I would have burst into tears and made some comment along the lines of having to choose between shoes and food. But that's just me.

Yeah, that would have worked.

But do you have Peg Bundy's hair yet?

Don't worry, I can teach you. It's easy. Feet should be hairy, with black nails that can climb trees or backs. Feces are optional.

Would never work.

I just watched Snake v. Hawk. It is no Shark v. Octopus, but it's pretty good. (spree: death and mayhem to either snake or hawk, I'm not giving it away. Oh, and a chipmunk.)
