reesetee Right. Elusive wild testicles are very good with yellow mustard. Dec 19, 2007
chained_bear Well... actually... that's exactly what happened, bilby.
Only reesetee is right: it's yellow mustard. None of that Grey Poupon shit. Dec 19, 2007
seanahan Running to check...
By the bathroom criteria, I would warrant a second date! Of course, I'd probably say or do something terrible to offend her, but at least I would have been prepared. Dec 19, 2007
bilby You're right. I'm lousy at observing ungulates closely when they're going condimental. Dec 19, 2007
reesetee Haha! That's chained_bear, all right. But it's mustard, not ketchup, bilby. French's yellow mustard. Nothing else will do. Dec 19, 2007
bilby I don't want to imagine chained_bear as married. I want to imagine her dragging men back to her lair, devouring them with a bottle of ketchup in one hand a thesaurus in the other, then heading out to root around in the forest for elusive wild testicles. Dec 19, 2007
reesetee I say you give him his own bathroom and don't stock it.
Wait...that probably won't bother him. ;-) Dec 18, 2007
chained_bear Hear hear, jennarenn!! Why can't guys keep their gorram bathrooms properly stocked?!**
**(In the interest of full disclosure, it should be said that I ended up marrying a guy like that.) Dec 18, 2007
jennarenn I know men (plural!) who lack, on average, three outta four of the aforementioned articles. If I have to:
a. put my dirty trash into my clean purse,
b. tote said trash across the den, or
c. ask for assistance
you ain't gettin' no second date.

arcadia Finally! A Festivus for the rest of us.
Toilet paper(tp), always a good thing to keep on hand. Dec 18, 2007
reesetee Heehee. Dec 18, 2007
bilby Wot's a roll of tp? Dec 18, 2007
jennarenn Dear Bachelors of the World,
You need the following items in your bathroom:
handsoap
handtowel
tiny trash can with a liner
extra roll of tp
Regards,
jennarenn
