I received a package before the holidays with pages of it. Good times.

And on a totally unrlated topic- what exactly is Dubonnet and does anyone actually drink it?

It may be called a vermouth, but it's not the martini mixer one usually thinks of, which has rather a lot of sugar. It's a vermouth to the extent sherry or any other fortified wine is a vermouth. Dubonnet comes in both red (flavored with spices & quinnine), which is the more common variety, and white (flavored with various herbs). The red is usually drunk neat, the white is also sometimes in mixed drinks, but is quite lovely neat with a twist.

Which gives me the opportunity to repost my favorite cocktail: a Damn Your Eyes: 1/2 vodka, 1/2 dubonnet blanc, shaken until cold, with a twist. Of course, you have to find a bar that has white dubonnet for this, which is actually quite challenging.

It also gives me the chance to relate a story from the Mr's side of the family: when his parents got engaged, his mother was dragged off to meet his dad's family, headed by her fiance's grandfather, an ancient and very stern and frightening Methodist minister of the "fire, brimstone and demon rum" variety, who was also about 6 1/2 feet tall and was a former semi-professional boxer. No one drank or smoked in his presence - no one dared to speak unless spoken to. Then came my mother in law who, promptly at 5, made herself a cocktail. "What are you drinking" the old dragon asked her? Everyone in the house held their breath. "Dubonnet" the m-i-l said. "Ah, Dubonnet," the Mr.'s great grandfather said, "I remember drinking Dubonnet in the streets of Paris at Armistice," and he proceeded to reminisce about the end of WWI and kissing all the pretty French women, to the complete and total shock of his entire family. He and the m-i-l got on like gangbusters until he died a few years later at the age of close to 100 carrying one of his maids up the stairs (she'd fainted, they say - I imagine his days of kissing pretty girls was past, though I could be wrong).

And people wonder why chivalry is dead.

I will not send in pictures of my boobies if I will be the only one doing so. It's too Hilton Sisters for me.

Another thing: How do I explain to my husband why I need him to take photos of my mostly naked torso?

Wait, so you're going to post photos of your rack but cover...what...your navel? Your ribcage?

No need for excessive modesty I think. If you post a photo of the goods, the FB gentlemen won't even notice the rest.

Most enjoy the whole entire package.

I think she's planning on wearing a red thong just in case.

Or she might be wearing one of those weirdo cupless bra things that are so ho-ho-ho-hot.

No comments on the "your/you're" and the hyphenating? Hmmmmmmmmmm.

You're right, of course, fringey. I was distracted by the content of the message and ignored the method of conveyance. Please know that I feel deeply ashamed.

Thank goodness I have you around to point out my missteps -- what would become of me without you? I shudder to think...

I think that was a frisson of pleasure, not a shudder.

[Did you just call me Coltrane?]

Dear Management,

I, the Penis, hereby request a raise in salary for the
following reasons:

1. I do physical labor

2. I work at great depths

3. I plunge head first into everything I do

4. I do not get weekends or public holidays off

5. I work in a damp environment

6. I don't get paid overtime

7. I work in a dark workplace that has poor ventilation

8. I work in high temperatures

9. My work exposes me to contagious diseases

Dear Penis,

After assessing your request and considering the arguments you
have raised, the administration rejects your request for the following reasons:

1. You can not work 8 hours straight

2. You fall asleep on the job after brief work periods

3. You do not always follow the orders of the management team

4. You do not stay in your designated area and are often seen
visiting other locations

5. You do not take the initiative- you need to be pressured and
stimulated in order to start working

6. You leave the workplace rather messy at the end of your
shift

7. You don't always observe necessary safety regulations, such
as wearing the correct protective gear

8. You will retire well before you are 65

9. You are unable to work double shifts

10. You sometimes leave your designated work before you have
completed the
assigned task

11. And if that were not enough, you have been seen constantly
entering and exiting the workplace carrying two suspicious looking bags

For those of us who choose not to look at nudity at the office, can you describe what makes tits skanky? I assume they are fake, because how can real ones be skanky?

this is ironic bc i saw something on the E True Hollywood Story: The Hilton Sisters (a low moment in my life) where the girls were quoted as saying that fake boobs are so stripper (!) and classy(!!). This was on a magazine cover by the way. If someeone could find it and repost it here, I would be much obliged. Clearly its avatar material.

And on a totally unrlated topic- what exactly is Dubonnet and does anyone actually drink it>?

Skanky tits may include:

Pointy
Droopy
Huge abnormal looking nipples
Nipples pointing downward
Bad fakes

This list is not all inclusive, and the above may be waived depending on the totality of the package. I've seen some really hot girls with unfortunate breasts.

Nope. Skanky means dirty and whorish, and you are pointing out qualities that just arent desirable. but thanks for playing and I look forward to hearing more inj the inevitable posts to come

You told me they were Bs. Thats a bit less classy, sir. Well, you're married to it. too late now.

Sorry. They are Bs. I was on my third Sam Smith's when I typed that last evening.

But everything about my crank is true.

The shlub who took this case sucks and makes our profession look like the money-grubbing whores that we all claim not to be.
