Pshaw. I'm sweeter than a beehive in, uh, whatever month it would have the most honey.

Tying threads, this reminds me of the lyrics to "Sweet Evaline" -- sung barbershop style:

My Evaline (my Evaline)
Say you'll be mine (say you'll be mine)
Won't you come and let me whisper in your ear
Way down yonder in the old corn field
For you (for you)
I've pined (I've pined)
Sweeter than the honey
To the honey bee
I love you
Say you love me
Meet me in the shade
Of the old apple tree
Eva-Iva-Ova-Evaliiiiiiine

Unfortunately, this "Ova" business is where the problem "lays." Errr, lies.

Tell us when you get there.

This may have been posted, but I don't read all your crap - http://www.thesmokinggun.com/doc_o_day/doc_o_day.html (1977 interview where Arnold talks about smoking grass and hash and gangbanging a black girl at Gold's Gym). Plus, he's cool with "fags." Stand aside, Larry Flynt.

You should probably be more explicit about your point. It's Cal, so you might simply be telling us that he has hit on the winning combination.

I'm waiting at the rest stop for you, old-timer. Perhaps you should read the post again, and look up the alternate dictionary definitions for a few words.

Well, I got the one obvious one, but apparently missed the others.

There are others?

My wife remembers seeing an old book of household protocol from the '10s and '20s, where the book (written by a woman) helpfully suggests that during the act, wifey might distract herself with thoughts of various consumer products she would like to buy, like a nice dress or a fancy kitchen tool.

Which brings to mind one of the many interesting things I saw down in P-town last week. No, I can't share most of them since Leagl said we could only sumbit pictures of our own body parts.

Anyway, on Commercial St. there is this lovely little sex shop called the House of Eros. Inside, in addition to the various accoutrements, they had a display of old vibrators from the late 1800's and a few articles and ads from such prominent publications as the Sears catalog.

When confronted with "hysterical" patients doctors would resort to manual stimulation to solve their problems. This became tiresome and tedious to the doctors so they often passed the task long to midwives. With the invention of electricty a new concumer product was born.

Link to article here (No pictures)

Another link here (again no pictures).

Best article. Has some pictures of old-fashioned vibrators. Safe for the office (but maybe not a cubicle).

And on that note, I wish you all a fun-filled Labor Day weekend.

Chevy, it's Friday afternoon, before a three-day weekend, and a week until Thurgreed Memorial Breasticle Day, so you want us to work for your joke?

I, for one, am off to (like Chevy) self-medicate and rejuvenate and cop . . . no, that's crude. Boating doesn't rhyme, but I'll use it anyway.

Your wife is pregnant AGAIN? Maybe you all should use some of those things Anne was posting about.

Good Vibrations has a collection of antique vibrators. According to <The Technology of Orgasm "Hysteria," the Vibrator and Women's Sexual Satisfaction's book review in the New York Times, the vibrator was the fifth electrical appliance invented.

I have never understood why this quote caught on. England is cold, wet, and dreary. Why not think of the French Riviera or the Mediterranean coast instead?

CDF (yes, I know the provenance of the line, but nationalism be damned)

Presumably, closing ones eyes, thinking of France, and surrendering to one's husband would work well too.

"Lay" means, alternately:

(1) a sexual partner
(2) a simple song or narrative poem
(3) a beating or striking down with force (the "husband" post)
(4) to produce and deposit eggs ("Ova")
(5) to impose as a duty, burden or punishment (do it for England)
(6) and, finally, "lacking extensive knowledge of a particular subject."

Like you.

CDF (you been punk'd, hobbit dude)

I'm sorry to hear you have to work for it.

I'm married with a kid, so I'll take it any way I can get it.
