Reminds me of the time that I wore a vibrator on a chain around my neck while out celebrating my birthday.

What a buy at $4.19!!!

I thought so too! I'm always looking for a bargain. I'm thinking birthday for a certain friend who lives in Boston...

ok. THIS is a story that needs to be recounted for the masses.

 

[pleasteasme]

Plus shipping and handling (I wonder what they mean by handling)

Oh, I think the handling would be free.

Back in my not-so-innocent days...in conservative Montana.

A friend gave me a vibrator for my birthday. Thankfully she waited until after dinner when my mom left for the night.

I was out with my softball teammates, I figured I was in great company and why not have some fun with it. We made a "necklace" out of something, I can't remember what it was, so I could wear this huge vibrator around my neck.

We went to the bar that sponsored our team and where we knew many people. I got more attention than what I bargained for, but the only person who got out of line was our male coach and I had to slap his face.


Let's just say that a vibrator hanging around your neck is quite the conversation starter.

The only other thing that I can add is that I had to throw the vibrator away because it was too big. I tried it a couple of times, but too big is not fun for me. I didn't have the heart to tell my friend who bought it for me.

this strikes me as being similar to the hip-hop star wearing a mercedes hood ornament around his neck.

True, but I'll bet my bling was more distracting than his while playing pool.

oddly enough, the top half of a pool cue is called a shaft. LOL.

LOL. Darn, wish my slutty little former self knew that then.


Okay, now I'm hooked on Netflix. I just signed up for a two-week trial and know that I'll stay with it. I've spent entirely too many hours the past three nights rating movies and browsing the lists to add to my queue. Do you know how long it's going to take me to see all of the movies that I have chosen? And I'm not done yet. It's addicting.

It has so much more to choose from that Blockbuster. I love that I don't have to go anywhere, the DVDs come to me and I can drop them in a mail slot at work. I can rearrange the queue to fit what mood I'm in. Loving it. I just need to not turn into a couch potato or at least limit it to the summer months when you can't really do anything outside in the AZ temps.

i have a question for eilan or any of the other litizens who are well versed in the english language.

why in the blue hell is "another" one word? shoudln't it be "an other"... in more complex use it's used as "a whole other" and phrases like that and "other" indicates difference. so? why? please help me before this eats me up inside.

 

[silverwhisper]

my guess is that another is merely a contraction of "an other". lacking access however to a copy of the OED, i can't say definitively, however.

ah...according to my copy of webster's unabridged dictionary (c. 2001), that's precisely the case, based upon middle english, and is thought to have first come into being around 1175-1225).

thanks bro.

i'm afraid i don't like this though. it's the evolution of laziness i tell ya. people wanting to avoid simple apostrophes leads to poorly engineered bridges, death and destruction... the whole world's run amuck i say.

 

[silverwhisper]

sorry, man, but that's how the language evolves.

i was actually engaged in a debate with a friend of mine a few months ago about the present state of the english language. he felt as though it was DEvolving and i suggested that that's not possible as evolution only requires change and forward moving time (the change not having to be "advancement" or "improvement"). my argument was obviously of a more philosophical nature and less factual.

in any case, my personal opinion is that the language is NOT devolving it's merely changing to accomodate the current modes of communication. IM abbreviations and shorthand, for example, still function as language (the conveyance of an idea through symbols) and it's not a deterioration.

your thoughts?

 

[silverwhisper]

yeah, people who feel that the english language is devolving usually decry the ubiquity of "street talk" or AOLisms. however, the widespread adoption of technology often presages the introduction of new terms: broadcast, for example, would never enter into the general consciousness w/out the development of TV. sure, there was radio prior, but tell me, do you really think of TV when you think of the word "broadcast"?

What does the expression, "Fuckin' A" mean? I had never heard it used before I saw it in a book I was reading.
