Exactly.

Jimmies are rubbers.

I call them sprinkles. Friend in college called them Jimmies, which is when I learned that in some places, that is the brand name.




Edited to ask, why are condoms called jimmies?

Sprinkles. They're only jimmies in the part of the New England that also calls milkshakes "frappes."

Slave calls them that because thinking of Jimmy wrapped tightly around his penis more than makes up for the condom-induced loss of sensation.

That would be funny if I put it differently. Apparently I am not phrasing well today.

I think Jimmy is either his childhood priest or an uncle.

Don't they also call Hero sandwiches (Subs for some of you) Grinders?

What the fuck is wrong with them.

Condoms aren't jimmies. Penises are jimmies. Condoms are jimmy hats.

My sons and their friends call them chocolate lice.

Of course, they all die laughing when anyone farts in public, so I tend not to take them very seriously in these cultural issues.

Doubtless true, but I would wager that I am the only one who worked there for (exactly) an hour, which is why I inserted the words "for an hour" after the words "worked there" in my post.

Maybe now you'll quit hitting on me by PM. Curse my parents for raising me polite.

However Atticus may have been born, he self-identifies as a man now, and in SF that's good enough for us. In actuality, he is an advanced project of the Turing Corporation, but don't tell him that.

Yep. And this coming from someone who calls a sub a hero?

Did Hero sandwich come from the word "gyro"*?

*which, incidentally, I've heard some east coasters pronounce "jai-row" instead of "yee-row".

Impotent Reality TV News

WB Superstar is on tonight and the four finalists compete in front a live studio audience filled with actors who have been told that these contestants are terminal patients whose dying wish through the Make-a-Wish foundation is to sing in front of an audience.

Premiering tonight is For Love or Money 3. I'm sure it will suck, but I will watch anyway. Thank god for tivo.

Tomorrow night is the premier of the second season of Last Comic Standing. The judges who were supposed to pick the finalists apparently are incensed b/c their first, second and third-place choices were all overridden by the producers of the show, who proceeded to cast at least two people who are represented by one of the executive producers. So this show will also probably suck, but I will still watch.

I'm sure all of this information has already been posted at different times, but I am consolidating it for you b/c I am awesome and b/c I need other people to watch these shows so that I have something to discuss on these boards other than how much sex I'm not having.

My guess is some restaruant in Austin.

I'm a po-boy person, though there are subtle differences involving sweet relish that differentiate subs from po-boys. Plus, I don't think you guys put fried shrimp on subs.
