Somebody flip this fat bastard, the way Randy Johnson did in the all-star game way back when.

I further move that "bringing butt-plugs to Texas" be made the American version of "coals to Newcastle."

(Note to Texas authorities: This post is sold only as a novelty.)

I may very well consider running for the legislature on the sole platform of getting rid of that stupid obscene devices law.

Note to self: Do not open store in Cleburne.

I think we can all be thankful that Shape Shifter didn't get caught in a raid when shopping for the jingle bell cock ring or strap-on or whatever.

What kind of state lets stores get around the stupid law by simply posting a sign that they are strictly for novelties but busts a school teacher for selling them to friends in her home?

Although if one of her guests busted her, then she wasn't much of a friend. I wonder if she passed around the catalog at school like others pass around the Tupperware catalog.

I think some things are illegal even when you have the disclaimer sign posted. I'm not sure what it takes to be a toy that cannot be a novelty, but whatever. Really, they are just driving business out of TX and to mail order.

I wouldn't worry for her, I think her lawyer specializes in vibrator litigation...

I like this concept. Pick a signoff from a different culture to sseem ironically cool and festive, while subversively passive aggressively conveying that the cheers person sounds like a schmuck. It has to be subtle so they aren't sure whether they have been insulted, but not so subtle it flies by their just got the memo head. How about "aloha" or "ciao"? Nah, these have been done to death in previous decades though I could be reviving them- but that might go over the head of the behind the curve guy. Never having seen someone ahead of the curve, he might think I was behind him in the curve line. Any suggestions? I dont get out of Connecticut much so I am not so cultured.

Arriba?
Andale?
Salud? (which is spanish for cheers sorta )

WEhat is the French equivalent of Cheers? Nothing is more pedantic and pretentious than the French version of anything?

Equating everything one feels is passe with the mojito and the goatee are at least two.

That's true. She's quite effusive in her praise. Or so I've, uh...heard.

Cheers!

RE: Flaming Coltrane

We aren't doing kegger/sequel jokes on Coltrane anymore bc we don't want to encourage any more misogynistic cracks in the spirit of light banter. Spinster jokes are fair game, but make sure they have the ring of truth to them. As we do fall squarely in the spinster category.

[Not Bob]

I intercepted Mrs. Not Bob's letter to Channukah Charry* the other day, and I learned that she has requested a white, men's-style dress shirt with French cuffs. She had one from Ann Taylor (I think) that finally frayed, so it needs replacement.

Sadly, they have none at either the Kresges or the WT Grants. Do any of y'all have any suggestions on brands and or stores for such a thing? We're within a few hours of the big mall at Beaucoup Egypt which has most of the usual chain places. I'd prefer to get it in a store rather than online because of the size variations (a 6 at one place is a 12 at another, and sometimes smalls are too small and mediums are too medium), but if that's what I gotta do ...

I am tempted to give her one of my John Nordstroms**, but I feel that they should be reserved for those special occasions when the Not Bobette is spending the night at a friend's, and the missus and I can do a little gender-bending role play.

*My favorite line from Adam Sandler's holiday classic is "the C is silent in Channukah."

**Ordered online thanks to the chefster, who recommended that brand back in the day. And the nice thing about men's shirts is that a 16 inch neck usually is always a 16 inch neck.

Cheers.

Was it a tongue lashing? Or a very well-oiled leather riding crop? Details, dear, details.

Carry on.

You sound less than confident here. I suggest you take a page from the Sebastian Dangerfield School of Affirmative Statements.

Try this:

"NOTHING is more pedantic and pretentious than the French version of ANYTHING!"

There, that's better.

Oh, I forgot... the one thing worse than "cheers" is "salud". Cheesiest guido toast of all time. Whenever I hear this I want to turn to the speaker and say "Hey, Paulie, how was it whacking Pussy?" I generally find this toast is used most by short men.
