You are so turning me on with this. Seriously. Bargain shopping drives me wild.

Who, Bilmore?

I was torn at the time, and wondered if the device might not have worked better with an additional "who?", as in "Who, Bilmore, who?" I think that adds a plaintive note that would have bolstered the credibility of his plight. BUt then, peple let me sit on my couch, so what do I know?

What, PLF, what?

Again with this theme. Just what is age appropriate for people in their 30s?

I am in my mid-thirties and I sat through six hours of German opera last Saturday night. I think I was the youngest audience member in my general vicinity. (Actually, the audience around me was just weird. Wore opera concert t-shirts and appeared to be the sort who tramped around the world like Wagner deadheads.)

Anyway, my point is that perhaps going to German opera is an age-appropriate activity for a thirty-something like yourself. I really enjoyed the opera and it made me feel very young comparatively to be young and cute and surrounded by old strange people (although the geezer beside me knew a lot and was very informative).

I am afraid you have lost your claim to sole Podunk resident status. I am informed by Mrs. Wonk that the town in which we have resettled after fleeing the cushy life of rich-folk suburbia is in fact officially listed on ePodunk.com

Please have Fenwick send us our complimentary overalls and copy of "The Podunk Guide to Edible Roadkill and Other Quaint Fauna."

p.s., when do Paris and Nicole come through on their Rich Sluts in a State of Confusion tour?

ACtually, I think we have an age appropriate test built into the FB inthe name of Coltrane. Ask yourself, PLF, if, were Coltrane at your activity, or saw your outift, or checked your ride, would he say to his brothers and roomie, "what's up with the old guy?" or "Who ordered the Pizza Hut?" whioch of course is code for "what's up with the old guy?" If he woudl say that, then its time to hang the plaid pants up, turn your VIP pass in and join Wonk on the golf course. .

Flower, do not be alarmed by Paigow's message of doom. Many plaids are acceptable, if not in fact quite stylish, on the course. The main thing you need to be concerned about sartorially is that the club insists on soft spikes. Stop on by the 19th hole when you get here. I'll save a bloody for you.

Concur, to the extent that the "Who, Bilmore? Who?" [I prefer this punctuation] stands alone. But, recall that the original "Who, Bilmore?" was prefaced with a "Christ, Bilmore." Thus, using just one "who" helped preserve the parallel structure of the complaint about his plight (and the credibility of same).

This seems like sound advice. Six hours is quite long, however. Can you drink during the opera? Do they serve Stoli Red Bulls? If not, do the Wagner-heads at least have doses to keep you up for the whole thing?

It's ongoing. For example, Taxwonk's already posted today.

no kidding. Long indeed. An endurance test for my ass.

The Wagner-heads brought trail mix.

No Stoli Red Bulls that I could discern but there were drinks served during the intermissions. The geezer and I got a little loopy (at least I did - the geezer seemed to hold his wine quite well).

This weekend. I think this is a sign of the second coming.

And, in another stunning revelation, I was just reminded that I have "known" some of you freaks for ~4 years. Fuck, I need a life.

I am very happy with my last post. I think I will print it and frame it.
