Edited to add that one of my favorite expressions ever is "she looks like she needs a good scrubbing."

Personally, I prefer a good steam cleaning.

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

It's red, and I can't touch the stuff after that one night in high school when we stayed up all night in Ken's basement drinking the stuff. Ick.

According to Maureen Dowd, GWB is in a "tizzy over lezzies."

spree: link to NYT editorial

From the editorial:

The Washington Post reported on Sunday that lesbian love had swept high schools here: "You can see this new trend on Friday nights outside Union Station, sweethearts from high schools around the Washington area, some locking lips. . . . These girls pack Ani DiFranco concerts and know Tatu lyrics by heart. Their attention is usually directed exclusively at each other, but not always: a group of girls at a private school in Northwest Washington charge boys $10 to watch the girls make out in front of them."

Uh, anybody got ten bucks I can borrow?

Okay, fine.

I'll send in one of mine, too.

If you buy a bigger camera, you can take a picture of both of them.

God, men have it so easy. All you have to do is half-assedly match your shoes to your suit and you're miles above 90% of the competition out there.

I was at a meeting the other day with fifteen male lawyers and financial analysts. Not one bangable guy in the bunch, and a fashion disaster. Ten of them were wearing button down shirts with their suits. Eight of those shirts were oxfords. Three of them were wearing loafers with suits, two penny, one tassel. Of twelve remaining pairs of shoes with actual laces, only 3 pair had leather soles. Several ties did not appear to be made of silk. I don't think there were any clip-ons.

Only two men got it all right (and one of them was a govt. fin. analyst). One of them actually wore a suit that was neither gray nor navy. I didn't like his cufflinks, but otherwise he did very well. The number should have been higher, as five of the men were from top tier NY based biglaw firms. They might have been dressing down, however, to fit in with the guvvies.

The women were even worse. I was the best-dressed one there, and that's saying a lot, as I was wearing my least favorite suit. I bought it in law school, and it's ... I can barely write this ... triacetate. You can't tell if you're not close up, as it's well made, but I know the truth. My shoes were killer, though.

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

Actually, since it was my assessment that they were nasty AND skanky, I must point out that I was using a definition of nasty that was pretty pretty close to Sebby's definition of skanky. Which frightens me a little.

Let me get this straight...

A "glorious day for everyone" is one is which we a) learn how to find our correct bra size; b) share our correct size; c) make fun of me when I post that a certain size is hard to find; and inevitably d) come full circle to asking me to show you my tits?

OK then.

a) every female FBer, please look at the little tag on your bra. What size does it say? you're wrong. you're actually all 34D's or 36D's. except GWINKY, at 5'9" and 115 she's only a large B/small C.

b) See above.

c) Sheesh...can you believe how man-pleasing I was to post the above? If I wasn't sitting here in this la perla thong and bra set, twiddling this long string of pearls around my fingers and tightening the strap on my stiletto heels, even I'd be rolling my eyes at myself.

d) I have to go close my office door now so that i can show myself my tits.

Happy now, little puppy?

I never said you weren't smart. And if the men of the FB are happy, I'm happy.

Oh shit, you just reminded me...

Some chick at a bar the other night called me a metrosexual. I said "Excuse me?" She said, "You've perfectly matched the patterns in your shirt, tie and suit, and you must spend a lot of time on grroming, so you're a metrosexual." I immediately hailed the bartender and demanded a boilermaker, plate of nachos and asked him to put on a bowl game.

Much to my changrin there was no TV at the bar, the bar didn't serve nachos and the bartender said "No Grand Marnier?... You usually order one of those after dinner." I just hung my head in shame.

I can see why what I posted reminded you of this scintilltaing story. Perhpas you should have just pulled down your pants and shown the gal this:

Don't shake your head, dear. Between the earlobes and the waddle, it's not pretty.
