GWINKY tells me I need to stop linking to shit, and she's probably right, but I thought I'd share this article. It's about a guy who successfully cashed a putatively void check for $95,000, and about what happened to him after that. Interesting . . . .

There are a couple of stores I can go to in D.C. but obviously I can't really try out the merchandise (and that's a good thing, I guess, cause who wants to buy something someone else has already "tried on"?). I have no idea whether I prefer silicon or chrome since I've never really experimented with either. Maybe I should invest in a variety of mid-priced items and just see what works best. I can probably sell the ones that don't work out on E-bay......

On a slightly related note, I went to the Good Vibes store in San Francisco once and looked around for a while. I ended up leaving empty-handed. When my escort asked me why I wasn't buying anything I said "I'll just order it online b/c I don't know what to say to Security at the Airport when they find it in my carry-on." One of the clerks overheard me and said "tell them you like to get off."

I love that store.

I bought a Rabbit for my sister for her birthday and that was the hardest brithday shopping I've ever done. I finally just guessed that she'd like it, and hoped for the best. There's no way of really knowing for sure until you've tried a vibrator whether or not you'll like it. That's sort of how I ended up with as many as I have. Bought a few different textures because I wasn't sure. Got difference sizes because I wasn't sure. The $15 to $30 vibes don't break the bank, so it's not a big deal to buy one and have it sitting at the bottom of the drawer forever.

I checked on with a vibe a few months ago, and it was on when it came out of the baggage claim. The person who picked me up was damned confused when they grabbed my bag to put it in the car. Always take the batteries out.

I love Good Vibes too, though Cindie's here isn't bad.

Isn't there a girl in your group that hosts a bi-annual sex toy party* or something? An ex-GF use to go to them all of the time.


*No, not THAT kind of party. More like Tupperware.

So do you have to use two hands, one with the insertable toy and one with the vibrating toy? I don't think I could use two hands, especially if they were doing two different things -- I'm not that coordinated. Or do you just have two different methods, and alternate?

I think I need an instruction video. I'm a masturbation retard.

This is where taxwonk would say something creepy.

Please always cover said vibes with a sweater or something to avoid this embarrassing scenario, which actually happened to me in between my 2nd and 3rd years in law school.

"Hi Mom....whatcho doing?" says Bn'B, entering her own bedroom while her mother is visiting from out of town.

In a moment of terror and horror, Bn'B realises Mom is about to open that drawer .

Bn'B's Mom turns and says "I was looking for your sewing kit...a button fell off of my sweater". And then...she opens the drawer .

Mom turned to me and said, "Well, I guess there's no sewing kit in here", primly closed the drawer and walked into the living room.

At that moment, I was wishing for something iatrogenic. {Twice. In one day.}

Right here we know he's insane or lying. Or both. But my favorite part...

4. My work experience is exceptional. Many of my peers went to law school directly out of college, and with the exception of a sole summer clerkship or summer associate position last summer, many have spent their summers as camp counselors or vacationing. I, on the other hand, spent a year and a half in the “real world” ([NAME OF BIG BUSINESS]) in between completing my undergraduate and beginning my graduate studies, and I have worked every summer since the 10th grade at some type of internship or more. . . .

He must have gotten a really good discount at Gap for working there so long.

I live in Virginia. Does that answer your question?

I'm not even going to be rude and ask why your ex-gf needed so much help getting off.....

Apparently you were "replaced"

Are batteries included in those parties or does everyone have to gather around the sockets in the house?

Um, I used them on her.

I think you mean "with" not "on."

So as "holder of the device" you made yourself expendible and obsolete. Apparently she figured out how to hold her own device. Much more efficiency in that plan.
You are supposed to market yourself as "owner of the device" just a thought for next time. Or when you're with Paigow.

ANTTWAT, I speak as a friend when I offer you a little advice. If you are going to be a Thrasher Tribute Sock, you should not be a constant presence on the board. Choose your times to appear well.

Look at me. I made my appearance, spent some time both poking fun at and paying homage to that robust one (two?) to whom I am a tribute, and went away. I will reappear now and then when the robust one needs or deserves a bit of attention, but have no intention of getting into extended Tupperware debates.

ANTTWAT, you're a fine Tribute Sock. We respect the work you're doing in spreading the ANTTWAT acronym and generally paying Tribute to Thrasher. But an all purpose, fully developed personality you're not. PLEASE, take my advice.

See you in the sock drawer.

But I also think that they way people phrase things is frequently a reflection of how they really perceive it.

No wonder she left.
