"Sioux City Sue, Sioux City Sue

Your hair is red, your eyes are blue

I'd swap my horse and dog for you

Sioux City Sue, Sioux City Sue

There ain't no gal as true

As my Sioux City Sue."

Dick Thomas has died. Oh the humanity!

NFH and CtD -- both of you have made errors in your offerings. However, CtD redeems itself somewhat by letting me know there's another rule needed: I want a unique avatar (or, at least one that is not used by regular FB or Politics posters).

CtD, you did not put the offered avatar in your post. NFH, you did not size the suggested avatar appropriately. If you do/had, you may find that the detail does not show as well in the smaller size.

But thanks to both of you for trying! Hope you didn't get 0s on your SATs or LSATs or whatever the first (and second?) time you took them because you failed to follow instructions.

Kisses, and Happy Thanksgiving!

So what's the worst holiday present anyone has givin to/received from a bf or gf? I ran out of time while shopping one year in college and just grabbed something as the stores were closing. So I gave my then-gf a soapdish. She opened and said, "Oh. A soapdish." Fortuantely for me, she knew that circumstances had prevented me from doing any shopping that year. And it was a very nice soapdish.

Tertiary gift, dick.

When I was 20, I received the Clapper for X-mas from a GF. It was highly entertaining until friends realized they could turn my light on at 3 AM by clapping outside my 1st-floor bedroom window.

Did anybody else expect this story to end differently?

P.S. Coltrane, is the primary or secondary gift sparkly?

There is no way ... Thom did the Nebbish's whole house within $10K. They probably hide half of their receipts and expense them to their IRL businesses as a very wise investment in free advertising.

I love Ted too; he's like a cute dork. I also like Thom; he could redecorate the Manor any time he wants to bring tons of free stuff. Maybe the $10K is just the stuff they actually had to pay for. Most of the clothes, futniture, products featured on the show are given by the retailer or manufacturer in exchange for the publicity.

Carson is starting to annoy me but he has a good eye for styles that suit a person's personality. I thought he was funny for awhile but is wearing thin. I'm not sure yet whether he will be more or less annoying than Tracey Ullman in the Marshall Field's 13-Hour Sale ads.

Jai is useless. Culture, my ass. He couldn't even teach that one guy to dance. I missed the one with the furniture ruining advice. What was it?

"__________________
I assume that was an early draft. Do you have anything more polished?"

Also, as you may recall I get quite unsettled when a poster's avatar is of a different sex than the poster. Thus, perhaps a picture of that female serial killer (in the cute orange jumpsuit?) would be more appropriate.

Was Thom having a bad hair day, or what? Bad. Bad. Bad.

I didn't want to cut and paste an image because cutting and pasting brings back traumatic images of the freakishly gruesome accidental disembowellment of my kindergarten classmate during what should have been a routine art exercise by Mrs. Wallace--our good-natured but clumsy crafts teacher. However, because she is no longer using it (and I miss her), why not use this gem so that it doesn't become recognizable only to FB archaeologists.

I've suggested this before, and (I think) gave it to you before appropriately sized. So, even though you consistently ignore me and my advice,* here it is again.

*Just kidding. Well, not about fringey ignoring my previous suggestion -- though I guess that she may have rejected it after consideration, instead of without consideration -- but I'm (mostly) kidding because I really like fringey. Although, now that I think about it, she does seem to ignore my advice. And my witticisms. I mean, I made a few amusing comments yesterday, but did she tell me how funny I was? No. Hmm. Maybe I am a little bit annoyed. Or maybe more hurt than annoyed. Yeah. Hurt. Just a little, though; I mean, I ain't no wussy guy that cries or nothin. Not too much, at least. But, you know, sometimes it just really bothers me, and ...

You're so demanding. Well after weeding through dozens of pictures of Johnny Depp, how about this?

Alas, not yet, but I bought a product offered to me by unsolicited email this AM, that is giving me hope for the future.

I, on the other hand avoid cologne and aftershave because I can't stand them.

Which leads me to a random complaint. Is there any way to notify a particular magazine that you would like them not to place a sample of their latest stink-water in the publication they send to your house? There is a particular magazine, which I receive on Thursdays and rhymes with "Norts Fillustrated" that is an especially heinous transgressor. Everytime I open the damn thing, Calvin Klein or some other such asshole assaults me with their latest overpowering scent. The shit is usually so strong, it gives me a headache in the short amount of time it takes me to violently rip the insert out of said publication.

I just gave you a meatball to hit out of the park. Or maybe erasing three letters was just TOO easy?

Sparkly yes, but not in the engagement ring way.

Yes, it WAS too easy; I sometimes try to avoid the VERY obvious approach.

That's against the rules: one is not supposed to accept gifts of jewelry from a man other than one's husband, engagement ring excepted, of course.
