Friday Caboodle

If one of your boys ties a rope around his willie and asks one of his brothers to pull hard on the other end, don’t panic. Apparently (because I only heard about this adventure– don’t you think I would have terminated it if I had witnessed it?) your boy will be a bit bruised, but his penis won’t pop off.

I never do memes - people tag me and I have the best intentions, but something happens, and it’s not the meme. This week, though, I was tagged by both Maggie and Lynda to provide either 7 or 8 random things about me, and I have to wonder - don’t y’all know ENOUGH about me? The fact that Bill and I have matching tattoos? That we’re not that great at remembering the tooth fairy?

I guess not.

1. During my life, I’ve had crushes on at least 3 gay men, (not counting George Michael) but I couldn’t convince any of them to play for the other team.

2. I love vegetables, including the ones you’re not supposed to enjoy, like Brussels sprouts and beets. Cut Brussels sprouts in quarters, drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper and roast in the oven til slightly brown on edges and tender. Toss with bacon for extra yum.

3. I don’t travel without dental floss: my front teeth attract green food. If you hear me asking Bill “AC?” during dinner out and see me giving him a fake smile, I’m asking him to check if my teeth are all clear or not.

4. My favorite counter cleaner is Fabuloso. It comes in several colors, but I recommend the purple. No matter how bad your boys smell, it’s strong enough to mask their scent. I buy it in a spray bottle but I’m posting a picture of the other type of bottle to say DON’T be stupid and go looking for beverages on the cleaning aisle and drink Fabuloso instead of Gatorade like some people did.

5. I’ve read a lot of books about the Kennedy assassination.

6. I adopted a beagle-dachsund my last year of college and named him Sherlock. The night before I got him snipped we had a big party at a fraternity house. I let Sherlock eat a hamburger, and a Charlottesville band called Down Boy Down played. Boyd Tinsley was a member of that band. He’s now in the Dave Matthews Band.

Sherlock lived to be 18 years old. He was devoted to me, and was suspicious of Bill, then Finn, then the duo. Eventually he got used to them. Kibbles n’ Bits helped.

Sherlock hangs with Drew and Porter

7. I can curl my tongue.

For those of you in the Birmingham area– be on the lookout for the new glossy magazine Lipstick. It’s free, and you can pick it up in salons and spas.  I’ll be contributing!

Hey- if any of you have a talent for Wordpress AND know how to post podcasts, will you email me? I have three recorded and uploaded, but I’m stuck on the part where I’m supposed to create a feed for the blog and code the podcasts for iTunes.

   Thanks for being a good sport.

   By the way, I would think you could have totally included the Penis Public Service Announcement in one of the seven facts people need to know.

   People DO need to know that.

   OMG! How would anyone think Fabuloso was a
   drink? It SMELLS like a cleanser!

   Looking forward to Lipstick!

   Good to know about the willies popping off (or rather, not). As a mom with two boys thanks for the heads up.

   I’ll be on the lookout for Lipstick!

   Thanks for the laughs!!
   That totally reminded me of that little cartoon with the naked boy and girl, where he says to her; “no you can’t play with it, you already broke yours off”
   Hee hee hee.

   You’re going to PODCAST! Yay, jumping up and down! I do not know the answer to your questions, but I know people who do. I’ll get back to you.

   Oh you just reminded me of the post I meant to write a week ago but forgot about. My first crush on a gay man. I was 19 and had NO IDEA he played for the other team.

   Despite OVERWHELMING evidence.

   I was naive.

   I am about to die. I would’ve died to witness that.

    Ermm…..the rope round the willie. Did he say what he THOUGHT was going to happen?????

    I am so glad to have finally found someone else who uses Fabuloso! My friends laugh at me because they think it’s ghetto but, I don’t care. It works and smells fabulously.

    Got a copy of Lipstick (on some mailing list out there) and laughed as I read your article. I was just showing my mom some”elves” the other day in a gift shop. Too much damn work, you’re so right!
