Sticky Tack |6:19 PM|
I has occurred to me that this blog is going to be relatively boring to most folks without a dash of comedy. Though I'm not dedicated to getting and keeping readers, I thought I should "give something back" to the community.
The saw tackiest thing I have seen in at least a year last night, in a gas station. It was one of the more colorful Mobils along Lamar, the normal corporate neatness had been kidnapped and left for dead in a ditch some years ago, and now the shelves bulged outward with various off-brand snacks and novelties that should make the whoopie cushion people blush. One of them, right by the register, left the other crap lightyears behind. It was clear that a level of tackiness research had gone into this product equal to the US's research into the nuclear bomb during World War 2. This object was called a "Silk Panty-Rose".
A cheap looking, plastic rose stem was capped by an equally cheap and plastic rosebud, surrounded by a silk-like substance to make the petals. The product artwork revealed that if you pulled on the petals, it would unfold into "An actual set of wearable panties!"
Who in the FUCK came up with this ridiculous idea? What terrible chemical imbalance would cause this sort of creativity?
I'm not female, but if my man showed up with a boquet of cheap underwear made to look like crappy flowers expecting to get lucky, I'd bite his cock off.
I can just imagine a prom night sometime, somewhere, during which a young man decides he'll make a subtle hint to his date with his choice of flowers. He hands her the bouquet of normal, once living flowers with this plastic monstronsity sticking out like a diseased limb. Without it being pointed out, the young woman plucks it from the collection of flowers, realizes what it is as the cheap "silk" unfolds in her hands, and starts a 20 year streak of "The fastest I have ever gone from thinking I was in love to dumping a guy and telling him never to see me again". (This 10 year record is only broken when she finds out her boyfriend of the time (during a period of low cash reserves) ate the exotic pet that she thought had run away.

///Say this is the swap from 2001 to 2002, that should close up the 2001 links.
