Daily vocabulary and other notes

brazoobie |brə'zu'bē|: a party at which all attendees (including the men) wear nothing but brassieres, although a tasteful strand of pearls is acceptable. Alcohol and light hors d'oeuvres are usually served.

-To freshen sponges, run them through the dishwasher along with the soiled plates and flatware.

-I just said "soiled." I just said "flatware."

-I use "shampoo" as a verb. It is this sort of subtlety that sophisticates me.

Not now. I just shampooed my hair!

Okay, baby, but first let me shampoo my hair.

-I also use the verb "launder." Laundering the bedding produces the happy result of Clean Sheet Day, which has its own implications.

You miserable Goat! I just laundered the bedding!

-I am proud of myself for not drawing attention to using the word bedding in the previous entry and I realize that I have diminished said accomplishment by noting my pride in this entry.

-My 27-ounce Klean Kanteen stainless steel classic with the sport cap in "Prevention Purple" squeaks when I drink from it.

-Sometimes I scoop Pierre's Premium Ice Cream (peanut butter cup) directly from the carton (with a spoon) and place a single Dan Dee extra dark/extra salty pretzel ring upon it and eat the two together. Sometimes I don't. Sometimes I employ a marital aid.

-My long gray hairs imbue me with a certain regality.

-Use newspaper and a spray bottle of vinegar and water to clean windows. Let me know how it works out. I've never tried it.

I try to use the word "shat" at least once a day, i.e., "The dog shat in the yard earlier this morning." I think it covers a multitude of sins.

"My boss just shat all over my dreams again. Lucky for me, I have a heavy-duty shovel."

"Hairs" sounds...kinda nasty.

Do you use the marital aid a. as an ice cream scoop or b. on your person while you eat your ice cream/pretzel concoction or c. both with multiple marital aids

Just curious, twinkly

Shit! I'm at the hospital "library", awaiting release. [Truly!] This sounds like a hell of a party to meE Let me just tie up the strings on the back of my gown and I'm there!

~That newspaper/vinegar thing: not so good. It leaves newsprinty smudges on your white windowsills and trim.

~If you shampooed my hair, would it come out looking as fabulous as yours? I LOVE your hair.

~Would you launder my bedding? (I know, that sounds kinda dirty, but I hate laundering, and I LOVE Clean Sheet Day!)

~Mmmmmm....ice cream.....


WV: nosenta
Sometimes I make nosenta.

Sorry folks, been busy with rabid righties over on Facebook.

I see that as soon as I leave, y'all start throwing shit around here. SHEESH!

Twinkly, I do own a marital aid that I could employ while eating ice cream, although I never have. Seems like pushing the envelope just a tad too far.

Leslie--Doesn't that sound like fun? A brazoobie?

And thanks for the heads up DDP.

I think Pierre's ice cream, or most any other brand, provided it's the right flavor, is all the marital aid necessary.

The pretzels are just a flippin' bonus!

Ya suppose Victoria's Secret carries a 44A in red lace?

Brazoobie.....men wearing bras? I could never go along with that....Oh well, perhaps sometimes!
Now pass that ice cream.
