A thong with 'Haldir Lives' on it?

Whereas a thong with The Flaming Yoni of Doom (TM) would be quite amusing.

Hope this hasn't already been posted since I'm catching up in threads. Michele T in BBaB:

Once more into the natter breach, dear friends. Blah blah nattercakes spoilerfree blah (Subscribe)
Who knew BaBB was so funny,
Noumenon:
I also like "Squelch Noisy User Filter." Table Talk had "Evade Noisy User Filter," but I wanna SNUF porn, never ENUF porn.
amch in Bitches, speaking of troublemaking in the teenage years
Sis was a natural, effortless and even artistic troublemaker -- she ran with a bad crowd as perfectly and heartstoppingly as Willie Mays ran for long line drives.
OK, THAT one I'm stealing.
thessaly, in Literary (context? Who... oh, okay then. We were doing this whole Disc/LotR x-over thing. The 'pretty contest' is vs. Cheery):
The Elves in Discworld have the whole pretty-but-evil reputation so Legolas, transported through the Trousers of Time with Extra Quantum, wins the pretty contest and attempts to take over the Dancing Men...but Sam Vimes'll kill him if he tries anything.
billytea, in Bitches:
Conversation from my NYD party:
"I tried helium for the first time the other day." "Well, that should be enough to get you kicked out of the army." "I don't know about that, helium is after all an inert gas." "A noble gas, even." "Yeah, not like hydrogen, the skank hos of the periodic table. One electron and they're anybody's."

I think we should have a "Powederkeg" thread, lined with explosives, computer virus broadcasters and bitter, drunk mimes. I think it would add some spice.
(It was the bitter, drunk mimes that sold it to me)
Perkins and billytea in Natter, re. the "Joe Millonaire" reality show:
What I keep wondering is if Joe Millionaire is a hit, what is the followup/female equivalent going to be? Let's put 25 men in a house and have them compete for a woman they think is a centerfold, but actually stuffs her bra?
Maybe they could have the guys thinking she's Pamela Anderson, but at the end they will be horrified to learn that she is in fact Pamela Anderson.
PaulJ:
I'm a bit worried, though, about Joss having Joseph Campbell in mind for Buffy's story (and I didn't know that he had made that comparison, at least not until now). I mean, George Lucas started wanting to make a Campbell-like saga for the modern times and look where it got him...
victor infante:
Well, I think there's a difference. Joss's film professor (whose name is escaping now) has written extensively on the heroes journey in contemporary film. It's a subject Joss has some obvious familiarity with, and knows when to put it aside and just tell the damn story.
Lucas, on the other hand, heard about it once from a guy at a party.
