No idea. I thought you already had some in mind. You would want something with a large surface area against the wall.

There's always my back up suggestion for everything home: IKEA.

Ok, fine. If you insist. One time I went out on Valentines Day to a party without a date. I was, like, so totally embarrassed to be single on Valentines Day, but I'd just broken up with my boyfriend because he was really rich and wanted me to quit my job and marry him and live a life of luxury, but my career is really important to me (I just can't get enough of document review) so I had to turn him down.

Anyway, I got asked out by three different hot guys at the party, but I was a little embarrassed because one of the three guys had brought a date to the party and she was really upset when he asked me out in front of her. And trust me, when Halle gets upset, that bitch has a real potty mouth.

Then, two other guys got into a fistfight over who was going to get to give me a ride home -- whew, I'm sure I don't have to tell you how embarrassing that was. Finally, the next morning, I woke up and realized that I had somehow managed to leave my panties in George Clooney's car after he gave me a "ride" home. Embarrassing!

Anyway, that night was just one long humiliating embarrassing moment for me. Luckily for me, that's the only Valentines Day I've ever spent single.

Why was George Clooney driving his own car?

I'm on their website now . . . most of their shelves seem to require screwing for proper mounting.

Because his chauffer and bodyguards were banging barely in the back seat.

At least we're back to sex as a topic.

This one might work:

It's ugly, but it might work.

It can be any holiday. Who cares?

At a holiday party a few years ago, I had a lengthy conversation with a woman who I thought was the wife of an executive of one of my clients. I later learned that she was the wife of one of my partners from another office.

It turns out she thought that I was someone else, too, but I still felt like a moron when Fenwick clued me in. A snippet of dialog:

"How's Biff's golf game? I bet he had a great time at Pebble Beach."

"Uh, Ted did well in the Heart Association tournament at the Beaucoup Egypt Country Club last week. I didn't realize he went to Pebble Beach -- he must have taken a side trip there on his visit to Amalgamated's headquarters. But I hear that your son's case ended in a mistrial, that must be such a relief to you and your wife."

"Heheheh. That, uh, Ted [is Biff's given name Ted? is Biff some sort of frat nickname that the missus doesn't use?] is a real card, isn't he?"

Sniff. That's the third-nicest thing anyone has ever said to me on the boards. Best friends for life!

SWAK!

From the Container Store:

This would require clear tape and a very careful application, however.

I usually cower in shame, smoke a cigarette and collect my money.

ETA: This post can also serve as my most embarassing holiday moment as well. Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

We were there when we started shooting at the mirror.

Flinty, you should be proud that it hits the mirror. If you moved to The Valley, you could be a star!

You should look up the word "embarrass."

Actually, let me do it for you.

em·bar·rass ( P ) Pronunciation Key (m-brs)
tr.v. em·bar·rassed, em·bar·rass·ing, em·bar·rass·es
To cause to feel self-conscious or ill at ease; disconcert.

Are you implying that I did not feel self-conscious or ill at ease that New Years Eve? Jesus.

Steps for first time meeting with FBetty:

* Venue, Hotel Bar. [check]

* Smile often (medium wattage). [check]

* Save and Use Witty Stories about other FBers. [check]

* Idly Wonder About Hank, and The Stories About That Goat. [check]

* Place Condom on Bar AFTER Second Drink, NOT Before.

Drat! Too forward, again. Sorry, my dear.

Send your far-flung family members and friends the holiday gift that says, "Wish you were here ... where it's sunny and 68 degrees." Order the "Houston. It's Worth It" Ice Scraper online by Friday, Dec. 17, and we'll ship it via U.S. Postal Service Priority Mail by its Christmas delivery deadline on Wednesday, Dec. 22. Surely the folks up north will thank you for your thoughtfulness at this glorious time of year.

heh.
