So you are going to take up spinning.

FUPA
 

See, NFH? Where else on this board will you see Wagner references? Who else would give you a reason to Google "Götterdämmerung" to add to your useless cultural knowledge? Why, it's only from following this battle royale that I learned all the different definitions of "narcissism."

FUPA
 

It gave Flower that tight ass.

FUPA
 

Yes, and I expect that will be much to your Götterdämmerung's delite. NTTAWWT.

FUPA
 

Then why am I suddenly hearing the music from "Sprokets" in my head?

Touch him! Love him! Liebe meine abst-monkey.

FUPA
 

At first I thought this said, "I gave Flower that tight ass."

FUPA
 

I would think you would be looking to loosen up your ass a bit, so that you might have some luck removing that pole.

Official Lap Sitter
 

My boy Brad's "my divorce is finally final" party is officially October 2. I volunteer to be official lap sitter at this event.

LOS ANGELES - A judge has signed off on the divorce of Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, but under California law, the former golden couple’s split won’t be official until Oct. 2, according to court records obtained Monday.

FUPA
 

How does this work, exactly? I mean, the pole got in there somehow, shouldn't it be extractable? Or is this akin to the dog-knot situation? (Is that the term? Am I using it correctly?)

FUPA
 

I sat through Götterdämmerung (oooh, umlauts! Rock me Amadeus!!) two years ago. Cheap seats. Good stuff.

FUPA
 

I was speaking metaphorically.

FUPA
 

I was being quite literal.

FUPA
 

Wow. You are smart!

FUPA
 

Your angry guy schtick has moved beyond funny, past annoying, on through disturbing, and has settled at pitiable.

FUPA
 

Hmm. I find it endearing. Sort of spookyfish lite.

FUPA
 

Don't be taken in by his smoke and mirrors. Clever, yes, but Fleurs Du Mal lacks wisdom - the wisdom of a kind and loving heart. In his soul, he is a doofus.

FUPA
 

Not smart enough to understand your wry-rye comment. Were you poking fun at Ironweak's perpetual alchohol intoxication? Unfortunately, his drunk guy schtick has never moved beyond pitiable.

FUPA
 

Gee Gatti, you're right. This place is downright educational. I've had to look up 3 things that I'll never use in a sentence and now know who Charles Baudelaire is.

FUPA
 

Heavens, no. I meant rye as opposed to pumpernickel. I can, however, understand why you were confounded.

FUPA
 

Not so. You'd be surprised how often you can use "umlauts" in casual conversation.

FUPA
 

It seems from your scores that Celtic always loses. Is there some "inside joke" about why you'd follow a team from across the world that blows? I mean in Europe you see people wearing Yankees hats, not Tigers. Why do you like this team?

FUPA
 

The heart wants what the heart wants. I mean, you'd love Spanky even if he went through a bad patch and couldn't close the house sales for a while, wouldn't you?

Oneophile Corner
 

Stumbled across a recentWired feature that reminded me of our past threads on this topic. (It panned the Rabbit, FWIW).

• Chateau Laguiole Waiter-Style Corkscrew & Clef du Vin Wine-Tasting Tool
  
  Forged by a French cutlery manufacturer and accented with barrel oak, the Chateau Laguiole is the nexus of 15th-century design and 21st-century enology. The Clef du Vin extension is tipped with a dot of copper alloy that ages the wine one year for each second it's submerged in the glass. A three-second dunk took the edge off a 2003 pinot noir.
  
  Wired: Snob appeal in spades: Wield this at a dinner party and your friends will see you differently.
  
  Tired: Spendy: You'll be sorry if a guest walks off with it.

I simply must have this. Walk back into the kitchen, dip this thing into a box of Gallo Rose for 10 seconds, and presto changeo! I walk back into the living room with 4 poured glasses of an '87 Shiraz.

Phew, for a minute there, I thought they'd panned the sex toy!

Oneophile Corner
 

Note to self: get new French wine toy; but be sure to scratch the Clintons from the guest list.

Aging a Shiraz for 18 years might be a little much. No offence.

FUPA
 

Disagree. I see him pitching, and you catching, all the way to Valhalla.

FUPA
 

And how is that fantasy "working out" for you?

FUPA
 

True, but most of the swine I use them on mistake them for air quotes or assume I’m suffering another touch of the dread withdrawal hallucinosis.

FUPA
 

The Viking uniforms alone are giving me sweats. Iron’s massive triceps are straining and his grizzled shoulder muscles bulging out of his body armor under the weight of the ragged, savaged Flower, as he carries the beaten warrior to Odin’s Hall in his arms.

If I’m not describing this sufficiently, you can always check out the outdoor production in Fire Island this Labor Day.

Some of that shit is really amazing. I can't even make my eyes focus on the 3D ones so that they look like they're in the plane of the sidewalk.

Pavement drawings
 

Maybe you need glasses, no?

FUPA
 

American Pie rye, no?

FUPA
 

FUPA
 

No. this kind of uniform:

nice hair weed! Flower couldn't even change out of his bike shorts?

FUPA
 

I'm always working on so many levels...

FUPA
 

You're layered.

FUPA
 

Outable?

FUPA
 

It's just starting to get good in the back.

FUPA
 

And yet, ironically, I'm commando.

FUPA
 

on the back- or in the back?
