Tupperware, actually. Is that bad?

Penske and Hank.

I'm not sure what your partner would go as, though.

Pope and Ho. Mohammed and Fatima. Flower and Bee. Sun and Moon. Dorothy and Toto. Alice and the Rabbit. Just a couple of bunnies with a large litter. Leda and the Swan. Helen and Faust. Scylla and Caribdis. Harold and Maude. Eloise and Abelard (a bit bloody, but see who gets it).

Been a long time since I've seen a good Charybdis costume. (Which one is the whirlpool?)

Charybdis (thanks for the sp. fix) was a nymph who lived in a cave and sucked water in and out to create a whirlpool.

While I am flattered by your obvious attraction to me, I'm unavailable.

Wow. You're a nerd.

Not Bob's trite white-bread suggestions:

Batman and Robin

Captain and Tennille

Sonny and Cher (Jim Carrey and Tea Leoni did a reversed gender version of this in "Fun With Dick and Jane" -- Sonny was short, so if you're noticeably shorter than your partner, this might work)

Bonnie and Clyde

Priest and nun

Priest and altar boy

I like the Bonnie and Clyde suggestion. What about ...

Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor
Mike Nichols and Diane Sawyer (you can pull off the haughtiness, I'm sure) (and it depends on the crowd -- will they know who Mike Nichols is, let alone that he's Diane's hubby?)
Sam and Diane
Nick and Carla
Frasier and Lilith/Niles
Angel/Spike and Buffy
Westley/Humperdinck and Buttercup
Yogi and Boo Boo

It's often difficult to be sure of the gender of posters. For example, one long-time male poster recently revealed that he sleeps in a pretty bed with flowing sheers that make him feel princessy. Boy, was that a confusing day!

this one will come with teeth. Penske and I have offered RT $3000 to support the board, BUT I become the PB mod, and I have emergency powers. lets see if i can't get somewhere with those keys.

Spoken like a true W Republican. Of course, revolutions have popular support. I think you have more of a coup in mind. Fortunately, now that she has her gold-plated vibrator, RT can't be bought that easily.

Ty told me that there are insurgencies that are growing in power and may be successful......is this another a fallacy from your teammate? Boxed wine delusions?

I think he's just being overly pessimistic. Sure, we'll be in Iraq forever, but I don't see the insurgents ever driving us out like they did in Vietnam.

By the way, shouldn't all this be taking place over on Politics?

The car I got at Carmax is a 540 sport. It is a most excellent vehicle, but doing the rush on the 405, 5, 60, 10, 210 (etc. etc. etc. -- all freeways in SoCal, basically) suuuuuuuuucks with a MT. I know why nobody wants them around here. Plus side is you can get discounts on them if you can find them. That, and the supersized left leg. I figure you must suffer for automotive excellence.

Curiosity on my part, but have the slapstick automatics reduced the enthusiast's need for a manual, or are they merely a gimmick for middle-aged old fucks like me who are too lazy to mess with a clutch and prefer to just let the car do the work in traffic jams?

Is the need/preference for manual or stick based on "having more control of the car" this really is more a fringey question. The ability to downshift to pull the car bacK?

Have we discussed this yet? I need costume suggestions. Think I'm going as half a couple to an adult-type party. Unsatisfied with such generic staples as peanut butter and jelly or pimp and ho, I'm looking for ideas, ideally something that suits me in a more specific way. Since few of you know me or what I look like*, this may be fruitless, but ideas are welcome.


*contra Hank's implication, no facial stubble.

PLF and his ego?

Given the avatar, what about O'Keefe and Stieglitz?
