so…the one thing, at this time of year, that I figured could not be searched for with the search engine of your choice, expecting to get a legitimate answer back:
“the price for 2 kissing balls”

As heard on the Weiner Whiner Line:

…when you can just read blogs?
I hit the mid-afternoon lull and found a few pick me ups (after laughing myself out of my chair) in Lindsey, Mikey’s take on the Dyson (and what it ultimately wants to do to Y), and Y (who’s gotten her groove back!)

husky pants

Tuesday, December 7th, 2004

so…today I managed to make it through half of the day with a sticker on my new pants.
