Chilean sea bass

It was much less popular when it was called Patagonian toothfish. Apparently there are now some OK sources of it.

A similar thing happened when Chinese gooseberries were rebranded.

flying that airline to the airport you went to is like stepping into the third world, except it isn't tropical when you get there.

Never actually got on either plane.

First flight was canceled, and the put me on another flight but told me it was at a gate that didn't exist.

The second "bumped" me because it was overbooked right after I bought a ticket on another airline. So free $ but let's see if I get it.

Why on earth would anyone close up shop early knowing that it'll be shut down for a few weeks after the kid is born?

To send Papa the message that after baby, pooty store is subject to closure at any time and for long periods without any advance notice whatsoever.

Yeah, except that the part that is supposed to be the stronger trigger is her orgasm, not (as incorrectly thought by many) the prostaglandins in the semen.

Translation: Even if it seems like the check's in the mail, start drawing up the eviction papers.

We've gone from tomato bisque to nipple stimulation. Sniff. Our little Peter Pan is all growed up!

Oooooooh.

Yes, my friends are all like that. But Sparkly, you knew that already, given my fragile mental state, and all.

Is this the kind of thing that can be cured by sustained vibrator use?

Or maybe a stern lecture from Jack Manfred?

I think I'll keep working with the vibrator.

can someone who knows about p and s pm me? all i got is wacked speculation from dressedtobabble.

It is wholly intrusive TO ASK someone about such things. If people want to volunteer that information about themselves, that's one thing. But to inquire like that is just gauche.


So if that's the contest she was aiming to win... WELL DONE!!

i've decided not to introduce her to the 'rents.

I know him. He doesn't stink, but he's ugly enough to scare the baby.

I wasn't grievously offended, rather, I was lost in reverie.

Apparently, sometimes it can be more than merely adequate.

Hank, if Ma's still willing and your wife isn't objecting, you hang in there little buckaroo.

I know it would up your stock to have a creatively funny guy sucking at your mama's titty, but it just ain't so Wonk.

Another tech question (hi Flinty!):

I want to scan some old family photographs. These are important enough that I want to do it right. Assuming that the number of pictures is in the three digits, I'm thinking that it'll be cheaper to buy a scanner, rather than paying a photo shop to do it. If so, what should I buy to do the job right?

Do you want the scanner to do other things like print or fax? Or you are looking for a flatbed scanner that only scans? In any event, I think it would be cheaper to buy the scanner and lay em all out and you'd have more control over how things get scanned. That's a lot of pics but on a flatbed you lay em all out to scan as one big pic and then use software to carve out each one individually.
