Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Just swaying and dangling, an enormous pair, complete with droopy sack

I've seen them for sale around here, but I've not seen them on any trucks. It's possible Utah police may not be very forgiving of big balls hanging free in traffic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Seriously, Allyson, print it out.

Current-unfavorite coworker just spent two hours in with our boss, and came out (I hear) with tears in her eyes. Yikes. Not sure if she quit, was fired, or just had the Come-to-Jesus that she's been needing.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

A Houston parent wants to ban the book Fahrenheit 451, even though he admits he never read it.

I was going to make a joke about how they probably thought it was related to Michael Moore, but then I checked the article.

Alton Verm, of Conroe, objects to the language and content in the book. His 15-year-old daughter Diana, a CCHS sophomore, came to him Sept. 21 with her reservations about reading the book because of its language.
"The book had a bunch of very bad language in it," Diana Verm said. "It shouldn't be in there because it's offending people. ... If they can't find a book that uses clean words, they shouldn't have a book at all."

The hell? I haven't read it over a decade or more, but I can't remember anything in the way of objectionable language in the book. Has Ray Bradbury ever used anything harsher than "hell" or "damn"?

Ah, see that's 'cause you're not in the South. I have seen more than my share driving down I-95 (or "the 95" for those of you from California)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

one of my neighbors has a pair of blueballs hanging from his jeep. Makes me wonder what he is trying to say .

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think he's used the phrase "Martian cocksucker" a few times.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I always (well, since adulthood, anyway) thought that dangling balls were symbolically what fuzzy dice were all about....

Here in the heartland, it's common to color coordinate these with your truck.

eta: oh for the love of all things holy, a dangling balls x-post. I LOVE this place.

I always thought that fuzzy dice meant that you take chances, dance with death, etc. Or you're nostalgic for the '50s.

It would be funny to have a set with "Stephen" on one and "Colbert" on the other.
