And it’s a zipper up! Life doesn’t get much better than this.
When I was out shopping with my Mom (yes, I go clothes shopping with my Mom, and no she doesn’t grab the crotch of my pants and say “I don’t know, it’s very baggy in the crotch!”) she said, and I quote: “Only you would be able to find an argyle zipper up.” It’s good to know I have a special talent.
October 10th, 2008 at 7:49 am
Nice sweater! I like it…
October 10th, 2008 at 8:27 am
Seriously, where did you get it? My son loves argyle and he’d kill for that same sweater. And zippered! How cool is that?
October 10th, 2008 at 8:29 am
And all the paperwork in the background really sets it off…
October 10th, 2008 at 8:29 am
Your cubicle decor needs an action figure.
October 10th, 2008 at 8:30 am
…besides yourself, of course…
October 10th, 2008 at 8:31 am
I think we’ve just dicovered your Heroes Super-power, Craiggers!
HUGS…
October 10th, 2008 at 8:34 am
Polt: You beat me to it. I was going to say I thought his mutant ability was to make us his troupe of dancing monkeys.
October 10th, 2008 at 8:34 am
I got it at this really snazzy boutique called Kohl’s.
What does that mean my parents super-powers were?
October 10th, 2008 at 8:37 am
Kohl’s? Perfect! There’s one near my house. Woohoo! Chaz be getting some argyle.
October 10th, 2008 at 8:40 am
You look smokin’.
October 10th, 2008 at 8:58 am
Craig: Tallness and fashion sense?
October 10th, 2008 at 9:11 am
You’re adorable. Love the sweater!
October 10th, 2008 at 9:27 am
Yay! I truly envy your Argyle collection!
October 10th, 2008 at 10:01 am
Oh and I’d add “Being Arodable In Argyle” as another of your super-pwers, Craiggers.
HUGS…
October 10th, 2008 at 10:11 am
Craig, as for Horoes super-powers, your mom probably has Far-sight and your dad can calculate all square-roots in his head and now you have the ability to find argyle-patterns in a store.
October 10th, 2008 at 11:07 am
Hello? Anyone here? …Hello…?
October 10th, 2008 at 11:12 am
Dave S. If we make a joke on this blog and nobody is here to read it, is it still funny?
October 10th, 2008 at 11:40 am
Of course! The little zeros and ones laugh hysterically.
October 10th, 2008 at 11:45 am
wow, dreams do come true here on this blog. I have a 1on1 conversation with Dave S., swoon. Someone find me some smelling salts, please
October 10th, 2008 at 11:52 am
I just love a happy ending where dreams do come true. *sniff* *sniff* I’m all emotional.
October 10th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
Group hug!
And keep you hands where we can see ‘em.
October 10th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
Quick! Smelling salts! Bernd? Bernd! Stay with me, Bernd! Would someone get me some damn smelling salts!? Wait — he’s trying to say something… What’s that, Bernd? Eh? It sounds like he’s singing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow…”
October 10th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
I used to go clothes shopping with my Mom, only because I’m color blind. Now I go with my Hag. (loving term, she uses it too.)
Blue pants with White button up shirt and purple sweater/vest???
Now you know my darkest secret.
October 10th, 2008 at 12:06 pm
Its getting mushy in here. Hugs are good though.
October 10th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
Dave S.: I thought that was “So This Is Love”?
October 10th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
Ooh, I love argyle. When I was on vacation last month in Anchorage, I saw a guy with a zip-up argyle sweater and I almost stopped him to ask where he got it. Very cute! I haven’t been to our local Kohl’s, but maybe I’ll check it out…
October 10th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
Quick, Dave S., I think I need mouth to mouth resuscitation
no?
pout
Me singing is one way to clear out a room.
“Where pretty little blue birds fly, oh why, oh why can’t I????????????????????????????????
Why won’t you leave me and Dave S. alone?
ok, group hug, SIGH
October 10th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
OMG, there are going to be all these little argyle Craig clones trotting around!
October 10th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
You’re funny Bernd. And fine, if you won’t let me watch I’ll leave. *humph*
October 10th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
Tam, I wouldn’t care but I’m afraid Dave S. might be shy. I’m very mindful of other people’s hang-ups
October 10th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
As they might say on Deep House Dish, you are b’adorable.
October 10th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
Funny AND sensitive. You’re a catch Bernd.
October 10th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
I’m gonna make a million!!
One Word….
Argyle Condoms!!!!!!
OK that’s two words, but anyway, don’t tell anybody!
October 10th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
I’ve been lurking all day, laying low, but Mark’s genius idea needs to be recognized. I want!
Now if only I had any use for them.
October 10th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
Craig: Once we’re “up” and running, you get a lifetime supply.
October 10th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
ha
October 10th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
I’ll start knitting some Argyle condoms right away, from extra scratchy wool and then invest all my money in lube-companies and tender-parts-lotions-producers
October 10th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Bernd: Maybe I should have said condoms with an Argyle pattern. I think yours might be a little leaky.
October 10th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Not leaky, Mark, soaky. They’d be so absorbant that no little spermies could escape.
(trying to save you, Bernd. It’s the least I can do for not having given you mouth-to-mouth…)
October 10th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Dave S.: I’m gonna call the CDC and recommend the Bernd/Dave S. protocol be implemented right away.
October 10th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
They said “Mark Who???” Jerks!
October 10th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
I called too. They said “Holy shit — we thought you were quarantined!”
October 10th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
I apologize for the CDC’s use of expletives.
October 10th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
Mark, you want me to knit the Argyle Condoms from rubber thread?
Hello, the CDC is a government agency. tsk, tsk, tsk
Only approach them through their website, where you have to fill out 250 pages of questionaire, before you reach a free text field to ask a question. Do not expect a reply during this legislative period anymore. They are currently answering questions submitted August of 2003.
October 10th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
“Soaky” made me snort.
And throw up in my mouth a little.
October 10th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
Argyle condoms…Dave S. locking lips with Bernd…government agencies using explatives….
Geez, i leave you guys for TWO hours and the whole place goes got hell.
How sad is it when I, Polt, am the adult in the group????
HUGS…
October 10th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
Craiggers, perhaps your lack of a need for argyle condoms comes from the fact your icon is a little cartoon-ized erectile dysfunction pill.
Not projecting a…sexy image….
Just sayin’…
HUGS…
October 10th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
Ah
October 10th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Okay Nicky, I’ll bite. What’s wrong?
October 10th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
I have a $20 coupon for Kohl’s that expires tomorrow. Although I think the zipper argyle looks awesome on Craig, I’ll probably get something more me.
October 10th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Ryan R.: Like argyle socks?
October 10th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Argyle jammies?
October 10th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
Argyle underwear?
October 10th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
Ooo. Argyle underwear. Now *that* would be cool…
October 10th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
YES!
http://www.nuwear.com/triple-xxx-diamond-pattern-brief/
October 10th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
I like these ones better. Quess what you’re all getting for Christmas?
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/ipol28/Tammy/argyleundies.jpg
October 10th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
There are also these ones, but I don’t think the boy is included which might make for a disappointment when opened.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/ipol28/Tammy/argyle_detailbigimageclick.jpg
October 10th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Somehow I believe that Craig’s lack of need for Argyle condoms may end soon.
I am usually right about these things.
Knitted argyle condoms does not sound very appealing, however an Argyle cock cozy for those cold winter nights might be nice. Not recommended for cat owners, think about it.
October 10th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Tam, I’ll be getting the same thing I get every Christmas, some Bill Cosby looking sweater that ends up in the donation box by New Year’s eve.
October 10th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
ExAstris: It’s the thought that counts right? In theory?
October 10th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
well if the person thought about it, I would get pudding instead of the sweater
October 10th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
Wrong? nothing.
I actually like the underwear Tam has been showing. I like the boxer briefs better than the briefs though. But what kind of underwear does Craig wear…
October 10th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
Tam…wow…that second one…..jeez…………..I need a moment…..
HUGS…
October 10th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
The blue ones aren’t bad.
Polt’s friend has what a friend of mine calls “cum gutters”.
October 10th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
Polt: I thought of you when I found the pic. Not sure what that means. LOL
Nicky: We know nearly everything about Craig but his underwear preference. Guess he’s keeping the mystery alive.
October 10th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
Nicky: Glad to hear more than a one syllable response from you. I was starting to wonder about that too.
And in my fantasies, Craig wears boxer briefs.
October 10th, 2008 at 5:09 pm
my preference for Craig’s underwear would be:
Around his ankles!!!!!
October 10th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
Someone’s been spying on my fantasies!
October 10th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
I just noticed..T-shirt,Golf shirt?, and argyle sweater. Do they keep your office at 50 degrees?
October 10th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
I just realized I wanna see Craig with his hair down. Not figuratively, literally.
October 10th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
Nicky: Such naughty words from such an innocent looking face. You made me blush.
October 10th, 2008 at 6:26 pm
What has happened to my sweet, innocent, wholesome blog while I was away?
Geez!
…boxer briefs.
October 10th, 2008 at 6:58 pm
Huh?! I wasn’t being naughty!
lol.
I mean how he has his hair all spiked! I wanna see it flat.
October 10th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Uh oh… was my comment blocked again?!
October 10th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
Sorry Craig, I’m going out to pick daisies, wanna come?
October 10th, 2008 at 7:04 pm
Nicky: Fixed! Sorry!
Mark: Of course.
October 10th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
“cum gutters”…hehehehe…havent heard that in quite a while.
HUGS..
October 10th, 2008 at 7:35 pm
I had never heard it before, but then again, I’ve never had them either.
Craig: I would have guessed briefs.
October 10th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
Well Craig…. are you gonna put your hair flat and take a pic for me?!? Thanks.
I would have guessed boxer briefs btw.
October 10th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
Cute photo! I like zipper/button up sweaters because I can take them on and off without messing up my hair. I used to call them “Mister Rogers” sweaters because he wore that kind and would put them on at the beginning of his show and take them off at the end.
It would be interesting to see Craig with a different hair style. The guy I fell for in high school had slightly longish hair parted in the middle. In college he switched to Craig’s hair style.
October 10th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
Craig: Post proof or retract. :-p
October 10th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
hoenstly, with Craiggers, I would just guessed boxers. Loose fitting, argyle boxers.
HUGS…
October 10th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
Wow. Someone else wants argyle condoms:
http://ask.metafilter.com/73584/Internet-Private-Eye-Needed-to-Locate-Plaid-Condoms
October 10th, 2008 at 11:22 pm
Does diagonal plaid colored condom boxes count?
http://www.scotlandshopdirect.com/pictures/pic41d050bccf70e.jpg
October 10th, 2008 at 11:32 pm
Okay, I’m gone for a few hours and everyone talks underwear while I’m away?! Sheesh. I’m an underwear expert. Really. I have at least a couple hundred dollars worth of underwear in my drawer. Not that I have a whole lot of pairs, I just (perhaps unfortunately) pay a lot for them…
And, Craig, you wear boxer briefs?! Say it isn’t so. We need to get you into a pair of 2(x)ist No Show briefs. Total comfort. Really. I’m tellin’ ya. They’re awesome. And they won’t peek over the waistband of your jeans. Well, unless you want them to, I suppose.
October 10th, 2008 at 11:34 pm
No. Briefs. Ever.
October 10th, 2008 at 11:37 pm
I only wore boxers for the longest time.
Last year I decided to buy some boxer briefs and love them! But I don’t think I could go completely brief…
I can watch Britney’s amazing new video over and over though!!
And way to avoid the hair question AGAIN Craig!
October 10th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
Where can I see the video?
My hair only goes one way. It refuses to lay flat on my head so it must remain spiky for all of time.
October 10th, 2008 at 11:41 pm
Watch it here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-23EToh43M
And then get your hair wet so it stays down and take a pic!
October 10th, 2008 at 11:41 pm
Ryan: I would buy those just for the box. I have a plaid fetish.
October 10th, 2008 at 11:49 pm
That video was pretty amazing. I wasn’t crazy about the song at first, but its totally growing on me and I think I kinda love it.
Ryan R: You send me pics of you in your underwear and I’ll send you mine
October 11th, 2008 at 12:23 am
Thanks Nicky for the video link, fogot it came out today.
October 11th, 2008 at 8:35 am
Dave S., couple hundred dollars worth of underwear??? Wow…..
I got boxers, for warm weather and boxer briefs for cool weather. Want the boys to be comfortable no matter the temperature.
HUGS…
October 11th, 2008 at 10:14 am
A place for everything and everything in its place. Briefs it is. I tried boxer briefs once, but the leg holes got too stretched out to be comfortable (damn big legs).
Dave S.: Are “no show” low rise? I have to say, I switched to low rise briefs and they are super comfortable.
Nicky: I watched the video and will say she does look fantastic. She’s still a little whiskey tango for my taste, and that song is god awful, but she looks good.
October 11th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
John: I thought she looked great too but why was it necessary for her to be nekkid for a large portion of the video? Not that much of the male population won’t appreciate it but it seemed very gratuitous, had nothing to do with the song and was just there to say “look at me, I’m hot again”. And we all know with photoshop she probably doesn’t look quite like that. I think the song only uses about 15 words and just repeats them over and over, but it probably could get stuck in your head after a few times. Didn’t hate it, didn’t love it. Sorry Nicky.
October 11th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
She needs to be nekkid because she brings the man home and he is in the shower while she is in the sauna! It’s just part of the video, but you don’t know why she’s in the sauna until later in the vid when you see him showering (isn’t he amazing?).
Also, she needs to be nekkid because the song is about a man who uses women so she is showing her body as a symbol of femininity and female sexuality in general so that she represents all the women that he has womanized.
Speaking of nekkid, I was photoshopping “CENSOR” bars over my privates for my next blog entry, and the mailman came into my job BEFORE I got the censor bar up… It was amusing.
October 11th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Okay, you don’t have to be nekkid to be a symbol of femininity and sexuality. That’s a Hugh Hefner construct. But I’ll get off my “Britney needs to wear more clothes” high horse now. LOL And yeah, he was a cutie. (Not that I’m against nekkidness in general but too often it seems to be the fall-back position when people don’t have anything interesting to present.)
Can’t wait to check out that blog entry. Maybe you should give the rest of us the same thrill as the mailman.
October 11th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
Aw, Craig, you look so cute. I just want to pinch your cheeks (the upper ones).
Too bad they don’t make Super Viagra underoos.
October 11th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
Not to get the subject off of underwear, but I searched Kohls up and down and couldn’t find the zippered version of that sweater for Chaz and couldn’t find it.
Polt: I spend anywhere from $15 – 20 on a single pair of undies, so therefore I end up with a very expensive underwear drawer.
October 11th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
Okay, I had to post this just to make it 100 posts.
How is the hangover from beer fest Michelle?
I saw a million (slight exaggertion perhaps) baby/kid clothes at Old Navy today that are argyle. Those blue boxer briefs I posted are from Old Navy. I also bought a plaid backpack today. *sigh* pllllaaaaiiiiiddddd. Didn’t need it but had to have it. Its an addiction I tell you.
October 11th, 2008 at 10:38 pm
Dave S, I had my fancy underwear-phase when I was still single and trying to attract males. What triggered yours?
Btw, it was wasted money. I met my bf at a nude beach and started to replace the designer under-duds with CK-briefs soon afterwards.
October 11th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
Tam: I had no hangover! But then I paced myself. Must be getting old…
Plaid, argyle… no love for paisley?
October 12th, 2008 at 8:25 am
Bernd: Comfort! I generally go for the basic white or gray, but it’s all about comfort. There’s more to buying underwear than just making sure your package doesn’t fall out.
The most uncomfortable underwear I’ve ever worn: Ginch Gonch. I was told otherwise, so — naturally — I had to try them out. Horrible. They may as well be girls’ underwear. No room for Mr. Jones. Total squish.
October 12th, 2008 at 9:27 am
Michelle, Paisley ugh. I’m paisleyed out for life. I was wearing paisley-shirts 20 years ago, paisley-ties even longer and just grew sick of the pattern.
Dave S. I agree to the comfort, that’s why I arrived at CK-briefs. Some of those designer-things would ride up and bunch in stupid places. I go mostly with black these days. It helps that CKs last forever as well. Tried boxer-briefs, but they are to warm for me and the legs to constricting.
October 12th, 2008 at 10:07 am
Mr. Jones? BWahahahhaha….reminds me of that 90s song by Counting Crows.
“Mr. Jones stikes up a conversation, with a black haired flaminco dancer”
BWHAHAHAHHAHA….
HUGS…
October 12th, 2008 at 10:31 am
Mr. Jones?! That makes ME think of Amy Winehouse…
“Nobody stands in between me and my man! Cause me and Mr. Jones!”
HAHA. That fits better. : )
And I like boxer briefs better than boxers BECAUSE of the leg constriction.
With boxers I would have to hold Mr. Jones in place if I bent over or he would be shared with the world. But because boxer briefs are tighter, he would never come out the bottom.
Oh boy… the convos we all have on this board…
October 12th, 2008 at 11:38 am
Yeah Nicky, all ethics, unravelling the mysteries of existence and searching for the purpose of life on this blog. Sharing Mr Jones, aren’t you wearing pants in public?
Mr Jones makes me think of “Me & Mrs. Jones, got a thing going on”. No idea who actually sang that and to lazy to look it up.
October 12th, 2008 at 11:59 am
Haha. I don’t mean in public. I mean when after I shower at night I just wear boxers and sometimes I’ll bend over with friends in the room then be like “Oops!”
Thankfully my roommate isn’t usually staring at me…
October 12th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
Well, this post has officially garnered the most comments ever on Puntabulous, beating out the 107 I got on the Super Viagra and Vagina Girl cookies post. I’d like to say that my gorgeous picture inspired them all, but reading them in all their tangenty goodness, I know that’s not the case.
October 12th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
Who’s this Craig guy that’s interrupting this great underwear discussion?
October 12th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
and I made comment 108! yay!
October 12th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
I’m all about 2(x)ist because they hoist your junk up front instead of between your legs — perfect for working out, since it keeps my boys from getting knocked around. Plus they’ve got less room for your butt, which works perfect, since I have a lesser butt.
Craig: Get us talking about underwear, argyle, and drinking, and maybe we’ll hit 150!
October 12th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Those sound like good underwear Dave S… Maybe I should find some. Or make some kind of prostitution deal where if Craig sends me a pair I will take pics in them and share them with him (the pics, not the underwear)
October 12th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
I just remembered that Kohl’s has an argyle graphic tee:
http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/subfeatures/youngmens/graphictees/PRD~368005/Faded+Argyle+Tee.jsp
October 12th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
What 2xist? I’m so disappointed that white american men don’t have asses anymore and fashion seems to have picked up on that with all those flap-pockets in the rear and now underwear. Don’t you straight boys know that women love a great ass? Me too by he way. You’re driving me straight into the arms of black guys and latinos.
October 12th, 2008 at 7:14 pm
huh? our lack of booty is not OUR fault! I don’t know about Dave’s butt. Mine’s not bad…
October 12th, 2008 at 7:14 pm
Nicky: My hair wet still manages to stand up and be spiky. Nothing can get it down.
Ryan R: Love it. My birthday is coming up!
Bernd: http://puntabulous.com/2007/12/05/bbb-big-boy-bed/
October 12th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Craig, wrrrooaaaar, abso-f..king-lutely fabulous ass. Thank you for the link. No 2(x)ist for you.
And 1 way to get your hair to lay down is to let it grow long
Nicky, I blame driving everywhere, no more walking, running or riding bicycles anymore for all those flat asses. Underdeveloped Gluteus Maximus.
October 12th, 2008 at 8:09 pm
Bernd: Some of us white guys have asses. I thank my mother’s Portugeuse/French genes. It may not be the finest out there, but I definitely have a back 40. My thighs are probably bigger than Nicky’s waist.
Craig: I have similar hair, but am rockin’ the silver fox (and have been for the past 20 years). It’s very spiky. I keep it flat with putty/wax. When is your birthday?
October 12th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
Bernd: If I let my hair grow long it doesn’t get longer, it gets bigger. Seriously, my hair refuses to lay down.
John: I use wax too, it works wonders. My birthday is November 8th. You can check out my amazon wishlist in the collapsible footer of my main page for ideas
October 12th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
John, sorry, I never meant to imply… I know that there are white guys with asses out there. I’m one of them, my bf’s is fabulous and there is Craig, so not all hope is lost. Genetics also play a part.
Craig, first off, your hair and do look perfect for you, but what is that growing on your head? Steel-wire? Bristles? Whatever, keep on rockin the Crai-fro
October 12th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
Bernd: No offense taken, just trying to give hope to my brothers out there (though genetics play a huge part)/
Craig: I totally understand hair growing out rather than down. Wax helps mind lie flat, but the cowlick in the front can barely be tamed.
Are you 27 this year? My birthday is exactly 1 month before yours.
October 12th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
Thanks Bernd!
John: Yup, the big two seven
October 12th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
You old goat!
October 12th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
John: Well in jeans, I often wear size 28 waist with a belt because that’s the lowest I can find….
October 12th, 2008 at 10:05 pm
Nicky: My thigh is 27 inches…
October 12th, 2008 at 10:05 pm
I think I can guess why Craig’s hair will only stick up. All that Super Viagra on his mind must have effected his hair.
I have a friend who likes 2(x)ist type stuff. I think they look a little too much like panties for my taste. I am mostly a boxers guy, but I do have a number of boxer briefs. I have not worn tightly whities since I was a kid.
October 12th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
Nicky: I have a 28-inch waist as well, which makes finding jeans impossible (I refuse to wear a belt). So I have to either compromise with a 29 or buy a size 4 girl jean.
Unfortunately, girls’ jeans have absolutely no room for the juggles, so I’m stuck with guy jeans that hang a bit too low on my hips.
Though I don’t think we’re getting a whole lot of sympathy…
Chris: 2(x)ist look like panties? Mine don’t. At least I don’t *think* they do. I can’t do boxers at all. I can’t stand the fabric bunching. And the baubles bobbling a bit too much (not that I have much to bobble). I’m a clothing minimalist, so boxer briefs don’t work for me either. So that leaves the low-rise no-shows. I even have a couple pairs that are silver.
Seriously. They’re cool. Of course, not that anybody sees them… 
October 12th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Well, in order to help get this to 130 before Monday arrives, I can’t believe I miss all the discussion about mens’ butts by heading to Montreal for a day. Where I will say I didn’t really see any nice ones today. Sigh. Guess they were all in hiding.
October 12th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Dave S.: Silver.
Really?!?
October 12th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
Dave S: Silver? Disco underwear?
October 12th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Tam: At the very least, disco balls. (sorry, had to be said).
October 12th, 2008 at 10:28 pm
No, not disco underwear! Egad! Do you think I have *that* bad of taste?! Perish the — oh, wait. Yeah, I guess they do kinda look Gibbish…
Now where’s that damn leisure suit…?
October 12th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Disco balls. Yeah.
(Man, I totally had to stop myself from typing something really inappropriate…)
October 12th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
(It had to do with sequins and…well, you don’t want to know any more…)
October 12th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
Dave S.: I need a link to these silver undies. Not of you in or out of them (I’ll leave that to Polt and Nicky), but the underwear themselves.
October 12th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
Here’s a link that I googled:
http://www.matthewizzo.com/catalog/shop_by_price.php?range=5
The photo doesn’t really show off the silver, though.
October 12th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
Dave S.: OK, not as bad as I thought. And for the record, there is nothing wrong with disco.
October 12th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
Love disco. I try to keep that a secret, though…
October 12th, 2008 at 10:59 pm
I just looked up Ginch Gonch. They had those when we were kids, but they were called underoos…. They do look wee small and certainly not roomy enough.
No secret here. Disco rocks.
October 12th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
Dave S.: Yeah, the cut of those silver ones do kinda look like panties to me. But maybe that’s just my issue. Diversity in underwear design is a good thing. Everyone has their own banana bed preferences.
It looks like only the waist band is silver, which isn’t totally wild. I was expecting them to be blindingly silver all over.
October 12th, 2008 at 11:09 pm
Trust me, you don’t want to get a boner while wearing Ginch Gonch — absolutely no room for it to go.
October 12th, 2008 at 11:10 pm
Disco was a little before my time, but I do have a Bee Gees CD! I have totally eclectic musical tastes, and I am not ashamed of that at all. I am also a big fan of Sea Shanties.
October 12th, 2008 at 11:11 pm
Chris: The fabric is silver, too, but it’s tough to photograph. The band I’d blindingly metallic though.
October 12th, 2008 at 11:12 pm
I actually own the Bay City Rollers Greatest Hits.
October 12th, 2008 at 11:21 pm
Holy Hell!! The Bay City Rollers?!?!?!?!!? Where do you think my plaid fetish came from? I think I’m in love.
Oh yeah, the silver underwear doesn’t hurt either.
October 12th, 2008 at 11:24 pm
Now I’m trying to visualize sequins and something totally inappropriate (or more inappropriate than Dave usually posts) and I’m just not getting it. Sigh. I must be tired, usually my mind is totally in the gutter.
October 12th, 2008 at 11:30 pm
I was really into the Bay City Rollers. Loved their sound, which was different than what everybody else was doing at the time. Is there anything more cheesy-ly perfect than “Rock n Roll Love Letter”?
October 12th, 2008 at 11:47 pm
I had three BCR posters in my room. *sigh* Heroin chic in plaid it seems. I should see if I can download some of that stuff just for the memories.
October 12th, 2008 at 11:52 pm
Oh, I’ve got to get in on the disco love. I wore out my K-tel records in grade school. And Barry Gibb? Hummuna hummuna!
S. A. T. U. R. D. A. Y. NIGHT!
October 13th, 2008 at 12:00 am
What’s a boner? Another type of underwear? Why would you get one type of underwear if you’re already wearing another?!
October 13th, 2008 at 1:14 am
Disco was also before my time. I bought a CD by a German boyband that contains a lot of Bee Gees covers, and it took a little while for me to realize how many of them were Bee Gees covers.
Nicky: Has the playground failed you in your education?
October 13th, 2008 at 1:15 am
At this rate, Craig may never have to post again to keep his comment rates up.
October 13th, 2008 at 1:18 am
Nicky: Are you kidding? Maybe its a generation/culture gap thing. I believe Dave S. is referring to the engorgement of the male copulatory organ. What do your peers call it?
October 13th, 2008 at 2:24 am
Yeah, Nicky — follow Chris. Boner. Hard-on. Erection. Tent pole. Juicer. Mr. Hand’s date.
I’m hating this anxiety-induced insomnia. :-/
October 13th, 2008 at 2:34 am
Okay, so Michelle, john, Tam, and I all need to go as a Bay City Roller for Halloween.
Just need plaid and suspenders. And feathered hair. Except Derek — he never had feathered hair.
I get to be Derek.
October 13th, 2008 at 2:37 am
That’s okay. It’s 2:30 in the morning. I’ll just talk amongst myself.
October 13th, 2008 at 2:54 am
Good lord. I’m watching commercial after commercial of “SpaceBags”, BowFlex gadgets, and some kind of cloth that’s, like, super-absorbent. And Girls Gone Wild. Of course.
October 13th, 2008 at 2:58 am
Dave S.: Sorry to hear about the anxiety-induced insomnia. Perhaps some meditation would help. I am hardly a new age guru, but I when my mind races I try to step back, take a supervisory perspective, and re-center myself. Hot herbal tea (with no caffeine) can also be helpful.
October 13th, 2008 at 3:10 am
Chris: Okay, so I despise tea. But I realize that for some reason, I have some in the cupboard. God knows how old it is, but I’m willing to try it. But only since you suggested it. Maybe some reading on the front porch, out in the cool early-morning air…
October 13th, 2008 at 3:22 am
Hey! I’m drinking tea! And it’s actually kinda tasty. Of course, I have, like 3 teabags floating in my cup to make it strong enough (damn American tea!), but it’s really quite good!
October 13th, 2008 at 3:43 am
Dave S. : Was it the Sham Wow? Infomercials are dangerous in the a.m. Especially when you’re too tired/brain dead to turn the channel. I find they’re a way of procrastinating the exhausting move of lying on the couch to lying in bed. I got sucked into the Cindy Crawford “Meaningful Beauty” (the secret is melons!) last night. Hope you can get some sleep – don’t drink the tea if it’s caffeinated.
And I guess I’ll be Derek.
October 13th, 2008 at 3:47 am
Oops – I meant Duncan. Speaking of brain dead…
October 13th, 2008 at 3:48 am
I am glad the tea is working out. But if it is caffeinated tea it isn’t going to help you sleep and may not assuage your anxiety as much. It sounds as if you have become resigned to a sleepless night. They are not so bad, and at least you will probably sleep well tonight.
I like all different flavors of tea. When I like a nice strong tea I go for Irish Breakfast tea. I have also tried Chinese special gun powder tea, which can also have some nice kick to it.
October 13th, 2008 at 3:53 am
Would anyone even know who we are?
Last year I went as Kid Rock. Wifebeater, brimmed black hat, sunglasses, t-shirt where I stenciled “Don’t Fuck with the Kid.”
The year before I went as Kurt Cobain. Wore a t-shirt I made that said “I (heart) Courtney” and had bloody gore out the back of my head. Gross, but effective. 
The year before…well, we won’t go into that. 
October 13th, 2008 at 3:56 am
Chris: It’s totally decaf. Something from Trader Joe’s. And I threw in a chammomile (however you spell it). Read a bit of Watchmen (want to reread it before the movie comes out).
October 13th, 2008 at 3:59 am
Ugh. I’m a minute away from my normal wake-up time.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:05 am
Perhaps you will drift gently off to sleep now. Either that, or you can wait a couple hours for Craig’s next post.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:05 am
With this being the 168th comment on this Puntabulous post, I feel the need to extend a heartfelt apology on behalf of all of the regular Puntabulous commenters to everyone who subscribed to follow-up comments via email…
October 13th, 2008 at 4:07 am
I guess there will not be any drifting off then. Sleep deprivation is not always bad. I wrote some of my best code the day after a sleepless night, more than once actually.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:08 am
Chris: Wish I could just drift off to sleep — now I’m thinking about maybe just getting ready for work.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:09 am
Hmm…then, Chris, maybe I should set aside today for writing that CD review I’ve been putting off…
October 13th, 2008 at 4:11 am
The day after a sleepless night I like to drink lots of Rock Star (high caffeine, energy drinks), and eat lots of snacks throughout the day. I find that the rush of sugar and caffeine really keeps be going.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:24 am
Ooo… Rock Star’s the best! Greatest energy drink ever.
And I just saw a commercial for one of those 20-cents-a-minute talk-to-a-hot-girl phone-sex lines. I just had this vision of a guy from India helping a little old lady from Pittsburgh with her Comcast cable and then switching over with a high-pitched voice to a guy in Green Bay wantin’ some hot vocal coochie…
October 13th, 2008 at 4:29 am
Your vision of an outsourced phone sex line reminded me of this funny spoof video of an automated phone sex line: http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1827668 (NSFW audio).
October 13th, 2008 at 4:34 am
Hilarious!
October 13th, 2008 at 5:43 am
Off to work! Hopefully I won’t take a nap at the wheel!
October 13th, 2008 at 5:51 am
Good luck, have a great day, and I hope you have a good sleep tonight.
October 13th, 2008 at 6:47 am
Since I know everyone is completely engulfed in the drama of my sleepless night and entiredly consumed by my well-being, I thought I’d let everyone know that I made it to work safely and am already toiling away.
Well, toiling away at reading today’s post anyway. Which is totally awesome, btw.
And to Michelle M. and Chris: Thanks for keeping me company. I wholeheartedly accept your pity.
October 13th, 2008 at 6:48 am
I think it might be an early bedtime tonight.
Oh, wait, damn — Heroes is on at 9. Okay, maybe an after-work nap after the gym…
October 13th, 2008 at 8:51 am
My GOD, I got to bed early and the comments here explode! Well, for some reason, the blocker here at work won’t let me into the comments of the newer post (adult! go figure), so I’ll just comment here until I get home and comment on that one.
Some white guys have asses, that’s true, but ain’t nothing sweeter than a black man’s ass. Man, they got it going ON!
If Nicky’s send photos of himself in underwear through the Internets, I think it’s only fair we get a link to the photo.
john: Man, a thick muscular thigh is really a turnon. 27 inches, eh? wow….
Dave S.: Sorry for the insomnia, and then having to be at work. Why whatever could be causing such anxiety? Jiggles, Baubles…hehehe, dude, you crack me up. Disco totally rocks. 28 inch waist…damn, boy, I haven’t been that slim since…oh, elementary school. Silver undies AND plaid together, is that what you’ll be wearing? And the Watchmen, excellent choice of reading material.
HUGS….
October 13th, 2008 at 8:58 am
Jeez Dave, you were up all night? Craziness. Sorry about the insomnia. Holiday for me today. Yippee.
October 13th, 2008 at 8:59 am
Oh yeah, BCR for Halloween would be cool.
October 13th, 2008 at 9:00 am
Polt: Yeah, pretend you don’t know where my anxiety’s coming from…
October 13th, 2008 at 9:30 am
Tam: Yeah, totally sucked. Now I’m dead tired and it’s only 9:30…
October 13th, 2008 at 9:40 am
Dave S.: you’re THAT anxious about that, that you can’t sleep??? oh dude, lighten up. It’ll be a blast! I promise!
HUGS…
October 13th, 2008 at 9:49 am
I told my Mom this weekend and she thought it was hilarious.
I jokingly said “hey, thanks for all the support.” And then she laughed again, at the irony of my statement. 
October 13th, 2008 at 10:37 am
Dave S.: Sorry you had such a rough night. I hate when that happens. I’m going back to work tomorrow after being on vacation and am going back to a huge mess. I’m hoping to not be up all night tonight. Hopefully today’s situation will be resolved so you sleep tonight.
Polt: Yup. The genes gave me big legs. These same genes have given me wee tiny fingers and premature graying.
October 13th, 2008 at 10:52 am
John: Scottish genes? They gave me your hair. Well, you know what I mean. I go in cycles where I change the color, then get bored and go au naturel. (It was your use of the adjective “wee” which made me wonder.)
Dave: Stop freaking stressing already. You’ll be great, told you that. Listen when I talk to you.
October 13th, 2008 at 10:55 am
Oh, if only it would be resolved today.
I have a whole five days before I can rest easy… But I’m sure me and my skinny legs will survive. 
Hopefully work it go okay for you tomorrow. If not, just let off some steam amongst us humble Puntabulous readers…
October 13th, 2008 at 10:57 am
Tam: You can’t trip in flip-flops can you…?
October 13th, 2008 at 11:23 am
Polt, methinks your office filters are even tighter than mine are, at least nothing on here has ever been blocked. Don’t you hate these nanny-spy-ware-programs? If I go to a undesired link only a white screen with a warning comes up, letting me know why I’m not allowed on the site and that my attempt has been logged. “shudder” snore
Dave S, sorry you had such a bad night, but at least you had some company out here on Craigslist. Usually I’m ok the day after a bad night, but then the next day I need caffeine-enemas to stay awake. Found out this morning at the office that they removed all Espresso/Capuccino-makers we had over the weekend, which sucks. Back to office-coffee for me.
Stay strong
October 13th, 2008 at 11:29 am
Dave S.: skinny legs? Please believe me when I assure you, ain’t nobody gonna be lookin’ at your legs. I promise.
Bernd: “Craigs”-list? BWAAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!! Great!
HUGS…
October 13th, 2008 at 11:40 am
Dave: No, you can’t trip in flip flops, well, not much.
Just remember, we’re all behind you …. enjoying the view. 
October 13th, 2008 at 11:40 am
Polt: Which reminds me…I need to shave…
October 13th, 2008 at 11:42 am
Tam: Yeah, I can see the headline now: “Man slips in body oil, breaks tail bone”
October 13th, 2008 at 11:43 am
Tam: Irish/Portugeuse/French. I blame my mom’s side for the legs and child bearing hips and my dad for the small hands and gray hair. My dad started going gray in grade school (he was a red head) and was fully white by 25. I started in high school and am about half and half now. I’ve never dyed it and don’t plan to, seems like too much trouble to me.
October 13th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
I’m off to the gym to make my legs less scrawny and my chest more stickie-outie. Don’t hit 200 without me!
October 13th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
What’s with all these comments made while I was sleeping?!?!
And now everyone is off the underwear theme before I’m reading!
So I’m going back…
OOHHH an erection. Gotcha. So… Dave, wouldn’t it be better to have one in boxer briefs than in boxers?! In boxers they stick out the leg and create a noticeable abnormality around mid-thigh. And if you put it straight up (which a lot of guys say to do), you could accidentally raise your arms and your shirt would go up and everyone would see a couple inches of p33n.
But boxer briefs keep it all in and hide it. Less comfort, better hiding.
October 13th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
Dave S.: you need a shave…you asking for help? Oh, and if you need help applying the oil, I’m totally available!
HUGS…
October 13th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
Polt beat me to 200! Bastard.
Just for that, no body oil running for you.
October 13th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
Eewww, Dave S, don’t break your tail-bone. Happened to friend of mine and there is hardly a more uncomfortable break. Sitting, lieing (?) down, going to the bathroom were all very painful. The worst pain were of course the jokes at his expense, talk about a pain in the ass.
October 13th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Aww Polt you’re so mean. I purposely commented 199 so Dave could reply as comment 200.
Don’t worry Dave, I was looking out for you. Polt is just a bully. He used to terrorize me on the playground and step on my Britney dolls and break her CDs in front of me while I cried.
October 13th, 2008 at 1:02 pm
Don’t worry Nicky, if this keeps up, you could give Dave S. 300.
Dave S.: I find it hard to believe anyone would describe anything about you as scrawny. Stickie-outie made me laugh.
October 13th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
Oh, and Craig, do you still moderate here or what?
October 13th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
john: You haven’t seen my legs. A Project Runway model would be jealous…
Nicky: ::gasp:: *That’s* where he got the Barbie clothes that he used to dress my G.I. Joes in! Bastard!
October 13th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
Polt: That should be “rubbing” not “running.” Damn iPhone auto-correct…
October 13th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
john: Craig? Who is Craig?
Dave S. Sorry, I wasn’t keeping track of the numbering of the posts, I mean some of us are at work here, and are trying to work inbetween our postings, ya know?
And Nicky, I would have NEVER broken a CD in front of you. Crappy CD’s make really good coasters!
HUGS…
October 13th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Alright, it sounds like Dave S is either a.) entering an amateur bodybuilding competition or b.) moonlighting in gay porn for extra cash. Anyone else wondering what it could be?
October 13th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
Rubbing, running, I won’t be picky.
And just everyone knows I never had any Barbie Dolls, nor any GIJoes for that matter. What I had were ‘action figures’ of superheroes (Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, The Joker, Catwoman, etc) and some Star Trek ‘action figures’ (Spock, McCoy, Uhura, Scotty), and the 12 inch Bionic Woman/Six Million Dollar Man/Fembot ‘action figures’.
In fact, mom found the big box I kept them in on the attic a few months ago. I said goodbye to the all, just before she put them out to the garbage. *SIGH*…what fun times I had.
HUGS…
October 13th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Yes I’m still here. I come on every few minutes to look at my gorgeous picture.
Bill: My guess is that he’s going to a Santa Claus audition and needs to oil up so it’s easier to slide down the chimney.
October 13th, 2008 at 1:22 pm
Bill: OH, if only your second guess were treu *SIGH*….but alas, tis not.
And more’s the pity.
HUGS…
October 13th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
Bill: At least you could’ve guessed *straight* porn… (sheesh…)
And Craig wins! Except he forgot about the 6 ft. lubricated condom. Keeps me from chafing when going down the chimney…
October 13th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Dave S, the difference between gay porn and straight porn IS the body oil (oh and the extra “baubles” in the scene,) hence my guess. I guess I was right on my first guess?
October 13th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Bill: No, you weren’t right on your first guess either. I’m nowhere near big enough for bodybuilding.
And I won’t ask about the baubles…
October 13th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
Well OK then. Safe Sex Santa it is!
October 13th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Santa does not practice safe sex. Those elves don’t grow on trees you know!
October 13th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
Craig: Hey, I’ll have you know Santa *never* has sex in a bank vault.
October 13th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
Ah Craig! Another chapter on the origin of magical creatures for your book?
October 13th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Yes, the special sexified edition found only in the back, curtained off area of your local bookstore.
October 13th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
Bill: there’s a smidge more difference between gay and straight porn then just extra baubles, as a conneoseur (sp?) of porn, trust me on this one.
Craiggers: so….so….all the small skinnny little elves came from big ole Santa and Mrs. Claus???? God, I fear to think of where the reindeer came from…..
HUGS…
October 13th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
Polt: It’s all “put tab A in slot B”, right?
And it’s all kinda smelly.
October 13th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
John: Dying your hair is a PITA, hence I’m in my “not” phase. But I can sense my “hmmm, that might be fun” part coming out when I look at color these days. My stylist is trying to convince me not to go there. We’ll see.
Can’t wait to read that adult book Craig. I’ll tell you, elf porn is hot these days (in more ways than one). I can recommend some books for you if you want to explore further. Ooops, did I just admit that?
October 13th, 2008 at 2:35 pm
Tam: I’ve heard gnome porn is hotter. Woo…getting all hot and bothered just thinking about it…
October 13th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Gnomes? Hmmm. Haven’t gone there yet. Demons? Vampires? Werewolves? Oh yeeeaaahhh. Ahem. Moving on.
October 13th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
Yeah Craig, we all come back every couple of minutes to look at the face that launched a thousand comments.
Dave S. another big diff between straight and gay porn is $$$, think about it. When $$$ are involved many straight men become flexible. I trust you’ve heard the term ‘gay for pay’?
Polt, I don’t believe that Santa and Mrs Claus have a monogamous relationship. And they have safe sex, or have you ever heard of Santa jr. She knows he’s fooling around behind her back with all the little elves and takes precautions.
October 13th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Is there such a thing as pixie porn? Because if nothing else, it would make an awesome punk band name…
October 13th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Bernd: Never heard the term “gay for pay,” but that’s hilarious. I’ll have to make t-shirts and hand them out to friends and family for Christmas…
October 13th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Never heard of pixie porn, its a size issue. But you’re right, great band name.
October 13th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Ooo, elf porn…as long as it’s the elves from the Lord Of The Rings movies, hell yeah! gnome porn….ew. Have you SEEN a gnome??? And yeah, Pixie Porn IS an awesome name for a rock band!
Dave S.: you never heard ‘gay for pay’? Really? Hmm, its all the rage in amateur military/frat boy/boy next door gay porn. But I guess one can assume that’s exactly why you’ve haven’t heard of it, eh?
HUGS…
October 13th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
Dave S: If you don’t get some zzz’s tonight the commentometer might roll over.
Maybe you could count evil bunnies. Or pornographic elves. Or your comments… : )
October 13th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
How about black elves Polt, (like ebony black, not brown black) with long white hair? Created to serve as sexual slaves for their goddess (but they swing both ways). Damn, revealing all my secrets today.
October 13th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
I’ll just count my comments this way:
October 13th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
1…
October 13th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
2…
October 13th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
3…
October 13th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
Tam: I believe they are called Drow Elves, and they ARE created to serve their dark spider goddess….who’s name eludes me at the moment. The sexual aspect is something I’ve never really delved into, though.
And yes, I AM a D&D geek, 27 years and counting.
HUGS…
October 13th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
Alright — time to go home. Hopefully I don’t fall asleep. For those who have my number, feel free to call and keep me awake. But don’t text, because I love texting and I’ll feel compelled to text back, which would inevitably cause me to swerve into the opposite lane on the freeway, hitting the passenger side door of the other car, sending it spinning out of control across the median and into oncoming traffic where it explodes as it hits a tanker truck of vegetable oil, spilling the slippery stuff all over State Route 33, which causes a chain reaction of oil-induced slippage with cars crashing everywhere in a mass of mayhem, blood, and death.
Meanwhile, I zip home, hoping that I don’t lose all my bars so I can get the damn text to send…
October 13th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Polt: The ones I have (well not the elves – I wouldn’t have nearly enough time to post here if I had couple of them stashed in my closet – the books) are just called Dark elves. No spider goddess in this mythology, I can’t remember her name either, its not important. I’m D&D ignorant so can’t say if the author maybe ripped off the idea from there or not.
Umm, drive safe Dave. Steer clear of all large tanker trucks for us okay?
October 13th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
I’m home! And alive! Woohoo!

If we’re entertaining fantasies of who’s doing who here, I’d rather paint myself into the picture. While I wouldn’t push Orlando Bloom out of bed, if I had to choose a pointy-eared character to sleep with I’d pick Zachary Quinto. Nobody makes evil sexier. If he had played Darth Vader, Luke and with him the rebellion would have been doooooooomed.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
Okay Bernd, for those of us not in the Heroes loop (ahem – me), you have to post links of cute guys because I hate to waste my precions 47 seconds googling them. But those eyes are an amazing color. http://www.exposay.com/celebrity-photos/zachary-quinto-6th-annual-gm-ten-red-carpet-1dE98L.jpg
October 13th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
Dave S, glad to hear it. Now take a nice warm bath, spend some tender minutes with your right hand and Mr Jones, have a glass of warm milk or if you can stomach it warm beer and you should sleep like a baby.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
Glad you made it home Dave. Now don’t hit your head in the shower when you fall into a narcoleptic faint due to lack of sleep. If we can just keep you alive until tomorrow I think you’ll be okay.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
I agree with Bernd, if I could get a hold of Zachary Quinto he would suffer from chronic ponn farr!
October 13th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
Dave S.: Glad you made it home…although I’ll feel bad when I call you tonight, cause I know I’ll be waking you up…..
HUGS…
October 13th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
Judging by his quick response (or lack thereof) I’d assume his head has already hit the pillow…
October 13th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
Tam, point taken, I don’t care for the scruffy look, so I like this pic a lot better:

October 13th, 2008 at 5:46 pm
Oh exalted moderator, ahem Craig, it seems my last comment was filtered out as spam. My first ever post with a link, treated like an offer to sell Viaggra and increase my penix size. sniff.
October 13th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
Everytime I go do something I come back and there are so many comments!!!
What’s the discussion about now?
Elves?
October 13th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
Fixed. Sorry Bernd!
October 13th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Nicky, we went from porn to elf-porn to actors of pointy-eared characters we’d like to ‘do’. Catch us if you can
October 13th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
Took a short nap and now I’m back.
But now we’re talking about sex with Sylar. How about Leanne? Ooo. Now *that* Mr. Jones can get into…
October 13th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
I don’t want to have sex with anyone with pointy ears, because I have pointy ears. And I hate my point ears. Well, I guess only one’s kinda pointy. Trust me, you don’t want to be human and have pointy ears.
October 13th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
Funny — use “pointy” in a sentence too many times and it loses it’s meaning…
October 13th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
Dave S: Uh huh..and would that be the left one or the right one that’s pointy? Oh and watch out for those naps….the lend themselves to NOT sleeping later on….just sayin’…
October 13th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
Polt: Lolth-demon spier queen of the Drow. I beginning to thin you are my evil twin…
October 13th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
Bill: I think it’s my right ear.
My ears totally don’t match, so it’s weirdness all around. 
October 13th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
YEAH! Lolth! How could I forget. Had to fight her clerics in a temple in a cave system once…man did THAT suck…we barely escaped (yeah, we ran…couldn’t beat them, so we ran- um, had a strategic retreat).
HUGS…
October 13th, 2008 at 7:44 pm
Hmm…demon spier queen…sounds like someone I know…
October 13th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Dave S, wow, that must have been one ugly divorce. I believe it’s ‘Demon spider queen’ but I don’t even know what Dungeons & Dragons is, so don’t curse me polt/john.
October 13th, 2008 at 7:56 pm
Dave S.: I’m all over sex with Leanne rather than Zachary Quinto! Mmmm, Leanne-y goodness.
Oh, and while I’m here: who is that fine looking guy at the beginning of this post? I hope he doesn’t like Leanne too or else we are so out of the picture.
October 13th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
Pointy ears are okay. They worked for Orlando Bloom, although perhaps only one pointy ear would be awkward. Now doesn’t that word look weird? But I checked, its spelled right. Really.
I saw there is actually surgery you can have to get ultra-pointy ears a la Mr. Spock. That does seem a bit extreme.
October 13th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
Tam! NOT that there’s anything WRONG with having ONE pointy ear…especially if you are making up for it with the “the abs” and the “tiny, yet MACULINE waist” and the “angelical long hair”…uh…sorry. Dave S.
Polt…can I get an AMEN here?
October 13th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
And of course I meant MASCULINE, not MACULINE…duh…..
October 13th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
I think Maculine is a banned substance in most countries…
October 13th, 2008 at 9:32 pm
You are still awake? I’m shocked after last night’s inability to find sleep….I guess I was right about that whole nap thing then, but I wonder if ‘Heroe’s’ has started in your time zone yet? Your pointy ear thing, though? It could totally be a sign that you have “Santa” blood in you, if you get my meaning, and soon, very soon, you may lose your whole tiny waist and smooth facial hair look and become very “Santa” looking, ala “The Santa Clause”…..Hope you work well in the cold…but the shrinkage…(shudders)…
October 13th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
That’s what makes it taste so sweet, Dave S. Forbidden fruit and such
October 13th, 2008 at 9:51 pm
Heroes is on right now. Totally kickass. Good stuff. It’s bedtime immediately after though.
And, see? The Santa thing’s all coming together…
October 13th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
Nighty night then…afterward…I’m waiting on Heroes now and I think you made me be sure to watch it rather than DVR it. I’m on the west coast. Sleep deep and sleep well Dave S. And Bernd, the only thing I get from Dave S. is tolerance and acceptance…and for that, I thank him. He’s good people, as is everyone here!
October 13th, 2008 at 11:31 pm
I don’t really know anyone with pointy ears. When I was born, I had huge ears, but grew into them.
I don’t get a special good night?! I’m the one who reminds everyone about the latest Britney news! (New documentary Nov 30th!!! Who’s excited?!?!)
October 13th, 2008 at 11:59 pm
This thread has even taken over the background!
Soon, it will take over all of the tubes.
October 14th, 2008 at 12:19 am
What is this talk of background change? I don’t know what’s going on….
OH! And since we were once talking about underwear…
I was in Express today and got this great track jacket.
But I looked at the boxer briefs. They were $20 a pair! Isn’t that a lot?! Crazy.
October 14th, 2008 at 4:53 am
Nicky: $20 for boxers? Are they made of silk or something? That’s what *I* pay for underwear.
October 14th, 2008 at 4:56 am
Dave S: That’s what *I* pay for underwear.
Nicky: that means “it’s A LOT”.
October 14th, 2008 at 5:01 am
Do you realize this is the 275th comment post?! Wow. Personally, I think it’s a testament to Craig’s ability to pull people together in an atmosphere of fun and lighthearted banter.
Thanks, Craig, for your always-entertaining posts and caring about your readers!
October 14th, 2008 at 5:02 am
Bill: what the hell are you doing up this early?!
October 14th, 2008 at 5:14 am
Good Question Dave S. If I lived on the east coast, I’d say I’m a go-getter…being as I’m in Seattle, I’d have to say insomnia….or something like it.
October 14th, 2008 at 5:15 am
And NO Sleepless in Seattle jokes!
October 14th, 2008 at 5:58 am
Well, that would imply I’m a go-getter, and we all know *that’s* not true…
October 14th, 2008 at 6:04 am
Bill: too bad you weren’t around last night when I was suffering the same thing.
Hope you get some shuteye!
October 14th, 2008 at 8:24 am
Bill: A-freakin-MEN, brother man!
NIcky: Perhaps the reminders of all things Britney is why you’re not getting a goodnight wish?
HUGS…
October 14th, 2008 at 9:07 am
Bill, in this atmosphere of fun and lighthearted banter what I hope to get from Dave S. is as good as I give. So far he’s been more than up to it.
October 14th, 2008 at 9:25 am
Polt: Perhaps your Britney snarkiness is why you’re not getting my n00dz >: |
October 14th, 2008 at 9:28 am
Nicky: And your choice of underwear is why you’re not getting mine.
Oh, wait — I don’t have any.
(does anyone *really* keep nude photos of themselves…?)
October 14th, 2008 at 9:38 am
lol. What?! If I change my underwear pref I get n00dz? You like girls?!
And yeah, people do. I am posting mine on my blog as soon as I have enough time to make this really long post I’m planning.
And Craig saw a n00d of me already!
And in my experience, a lot of people have them in their phones cause they send them to their sig other when they’re out of the country or bored or something.
October 14th, 2008 at 9:50 am
Yes, I like girls.
And no one will ever get a nude of me. I was being completely facetious about the underwear… 
October 14th, 2008 at 9:52 am
So, Nicky, I’m weird for not having any compromising photos of myself? Maybe it’s because I don’t have a significant other…
October 14th, 2008 at 10:13 am
Okay, so the bathrooms here at work have those automatic paper towel dispensers. On the side, it has a knob labeled, “Turn for Automtatic Feed.”
I was hungry, so I turned it…
October 14th, 2008 at 10:15 am
Well in that case, you should have some on your comp so you can ATTRACT sig others…
Unless…. your pics wouldn’t attract anymore.
I think a few of us could judge your pics and see if they’re good.
There is this one site I saw once that made fun of the n00dz people post of themselves. It was very NSFW but hilarious.
October 14th, 2008 at 10:15 am
Dave S. I think it’s a generational thing, not weird. Even though I have tons of nude pix of myself, none are electronic, taken many years ago.
October 14th, 2008 at 10:30 am
Nicky: I could be wrong, but I don’t think chicks are into it as much as guys are. If guy sent a skin pic to a girl they’d be, like, “Uhh, okaay, but are you a good kisser? And where are the flowers?!”
October 14th, 2008 at 10:47 am
Haha! Where are the flowers?! Good one.
Maybe that’s true though.
I think it’s generational as well.
And I don’t actually have any btw. I have a new phone and no sig other for a while, so only the one I took the other day for my blog exists.
October 14th, 2008 at 10:49 am
Nicky: Touche, my friend.
I do not have any nude photos of me anywhere. If I want to see myself nude, i have but to look in a mirror, and ain’t no one else that WANTS to see me nude, so there’s no need to save them.
DaveS.; well depending the size of the…Mr.Jones in the photo the girls recieve, they might say, “*GASP*….wow…..Uhh, okaay, but are you a good kisser?” But in an entirely differnt tone than the tone used in your comment
HUGS…
October 14th, 2008 at 10:54 am
Um, yeah. Nothing un-average about poor Mr. Jones.
No gasps, no wows. Well, not *before* anyway…
October 14th, 2008 at 11:06 am
Before the accident…
October 14th, 2008 at 11:08 am
AH! Here’s the new background. Lovely.
October 14th, 2008 at 11:27 am
Dave S., I wasn’t referring to YOUR Mr. Jones specifically, I was referring to Mr. Joneses in general.
HUGS..
October 14th, 2008 at 11:34 am
Suuuuurrre…
October 14th, 2008 at 11:35 am
All these comments!! I feel like I ha!ve showed up late to the party
October 14th, 2008 at 11:35 am
I always wanted to be #300!
October 14th, 2008 at 11:36 am
How the heck did we get on this subject anyway…?
Nice weather we’re having. How ’bout them Red Sox? Have you tried Starbuck’s pumpkin latte?
October 14th, 2008 at 11:37 am
Hayden: It’s good to have life goals.
October 14th, 2008 at 11:38 am
Pumpkin Latte is one of my favorite drinks…Every September I am psyched for all the pumpkin beers and starbuck’s pumpkin lattes, it is the only time of year I will give them my money…
October 14th, 2008 at 11:46 am
Damn, I can’t believe we are over 300 on this thread. Congrats Hayden.
Okay a “girl’s” perspective. JUST a close-up of Mr. Jones is kind of weird, but a more comprehensive shot can be appreciated. But I’d say NOT before a first date, keep some mystery boys. Some strategically placed Belgian truffles can make it even more appealing. Flowers too I suppose.
As for pumpkin pie lattes, pass thanks. I don’t like anything that resembles a milk shake (hot or not). I had real pumpkin pie yesterday, far superior.
October 14th, 2008 at 11:47 am
Hayden: Pumpkin beer? For reals? *gag*
October 14th, 2008 at 11:49 am
It was decided near comment 200 that Dave was supposed to be 300!!! lol. Maybe you’ll get 400…
October 14th, 2008 at 11:54 am
Tam: Dammit. I bought *Scandivanian* truffles. ::sigh:: I *knew* they were on sale for a reason…
And pumpkin beer is tasty.
Nicky: First Polt, and now Hayden’s dissin’ me. Onward to 400…
October 14th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
So what does pumpkin beer taste like? Really like pie? Sweet? Cinnamony? (is that a word?) It just seems wrong.
October 14th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
Wow, we’ve almost hit 3x the previous record.
October 14th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Tam: Belgian truffles BWAHAHAHHHAHAAAHA….
Yeah, showing Mr. Jones before the first date is rather….well exhibitionistic and more than a bit freaky. But if you’ve been with someone for a period of time, in a relationship, sending a photo of him might not be that bad. Could be kinda funny, actually.
Not sure, though, I’d want my significant other laughing at a photo of Mr. Jones under really any circumstances.
HUGS…
October 14th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Tam: Pumpkin beer isn’t sweet, but it has a hint of pumpkin as well as some essence of paprika, nutmeg, and cinnamon. It’s particularly good when served just slightly colder than room temperature to allow the spices to come through (their flavor tends to be muted when served too cold).
October 14th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Ya think Craiggers is just ignoring all the comments on this post by now? I mean there’s three more recent ones, and we’re stuck here. Kinda like a band at a concert wanting to play new material, and having the crowd booo and demand the classic stuff they already know.
Well, kinda….a little bit like that…
HUGS…
October 14th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
It’s more like everyone else is watching “The Office” while we’re watching reruns of “9 to 5.”
October 14th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
Alright, I gotta run and chew out a printer that screwed up a magazine that I just had printed. Their prepress messed it up bigtime and I’m livid. Grrr. (insert evil emoticon here)
October 14th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
Don’t let anything important happen while I’m gone!
October 14th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
Yeah, Craig is surely ignoring us now. He wanted us to talk about argyle which turned into condoms with turned into boxers which turned into elf porn which turned into just porn which turned into n00dz and he is probably wishing we were still talking about argyle.
But we kind of are cause a few of us have commented on liking the new background!
And Dave, by the time you get back, comment 400 will have been had by Tam or something.
October 14th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
I’m trying my best Nicky. We seem to have slowed down slightly so I’m thinking 400 might happen this evening sometime when Dave is all wrapped up in Project Runway so he’ll miss his big moment yet again. Sigh. But he can console himself with his imaginary relationship with Leanne.
October 14th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Have fun chewing on that printer Dave.
October 14th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Tam: there are quality Pumpkin beers and not-quality pumpkin beers–my favoite so far is called Pumpking. The brewers tend to use more spice than is needed and i like the pumpkin flavor to stand out but I’m sure it is all a personal taste…it is a good excuse to drink more beer…
Nicky: Dave S slipped it in right before I did and was number 300…I will have to settle for 301…
October 14th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
Hayden: I’ve never heard of pumpkin beer. Maybe its not a Canadian thing. I went to The Beer Store website and they have nothing with “pumpkin” in the title and they have a gazillion beers so I think it must be a US thing.
October 14th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
Okay, its not a gazillion, according to the website its “330 beer brands from over 75 brewers from around the world”.
October 14th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
I’m still here. I get an email everytime someone comments, and I cherish each and every one of them.
October 14th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
Craig: I’m glad its you and not me getting them all. Although then maybe I’d feel like someone loves me enough to send me e-mail.
October 14th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
Hayden: when I counted you were 300! Are you sure?!
Craig: When I see an e-mail saying I have a new comment I get super excited. You’re lucky : )
October 14th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Thanks for the update Nicky, I’ll take your counting as the correct info, especially as I would hate to be Dave S’s post #300 sloppy seconds. Anything after #300 is kind of slutty if you ask me…
October 14th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
From what I can see behind the scenes, Marcus was #300.
October 14th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Wow – this post is like the evil Energizer Bunny. The comments keep going and going and going…
Favorite pumpkin beer is Buffalo Bill’s Brewery’s Pumpkin Ale. Yum.
For the fruity beers: Wild Blue Blueberry Lager
Lindeman’s is also yummy: http://www.lindemans.be/start/home/en?PHPSESSID=189e569b8bc3157ff89c94ae4e4c67d0
and maybe the perfect beverage when watching Heroes?
October 14th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
That’s it. I’m picking up some pumpkin beer on my way home.
October 14th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Michelle M: That’s hilarious — I immediately thought of Heroes too!
October 14th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Proving once again that Michelle M. is made of awesome!
October 14th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
Michelle! Stop spreading alcohol love again!!
October 14th, 2008 at 6:20 pm
The perfect drink to watch Heroes doesn’t need alcohol, it needs to be electric green, with white foam and smoke coming from the top. Throw in some Maraschino-cherries for contrast.
Keep hurl-buckets ready behind the couch.
October 14th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
Nicky: Hey! Dave S. started it! (sorry Dave S.)
john: Aww, shucks. *pretends to be humble while secretly agreeing.
Craig: Lovin’ the argyle.
October 14th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
You guys have such weird beer down south. We like our beer … um, normal. Blueberries? Pumpkins? Straaaange.
I’ll have one of Bernd’s smokin’ greenies though. I don’t have to watch Heroes though do I? (that was said with a whine)
October 14th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
I really should catch up on Heroes. I’m only 1.5 seasons behind!
I’m so glad I was good this season of Project Runway and watched every ep as it aired.
Can’t wait for tomorrow!
I think Leanne’s gonna win.
October 14th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Uh oh. Another Leanne lover? Sheesh that woman’s getting quite a following.
October 14th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
Tam: Um, have you seen her!?! Total librarian hotness.
October 14th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
I keep watching the Womanizer video and love it.
As for the song, my favorite part is the chorus with the “ah! ah!” part.
And as for the video, I think my favorite part is the office scene, especially when she xeroxes her butt and punches through the paper and grabs his tie. Although I laugh everytime she steers the limo with her foot too.
Yay Britney!
October 14th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
I’m steering clear of librarians hotties these days John.
I’ll trust you guys that she’s worthy of the drool expended.
October 14th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
Craig! That’s MY favorite part! (the punching through the paper part)
And I also love when she’s steering with her foot, except the speedometer is at zero
: (
October 14th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
Oh, and read this…
http://pinkisthenewblog.com/home/2008/10/lance-bass-has-history-with-the-womanizer-guy/
October 14th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
Aw, boo for the speedometer. Oh well. They couldn’t have thought of everything!
That’s funny about the guy though! Go Lance!
October 14th, 2008 at 9:44 pm
Am I the only one who finds Lance Bass fairly unattractive. I know that’s kind of catty but I just don’t get his appeal. Womanizer guy is cute though.
October 14th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
Tam: Nah, you’re not the only one. Maybe it’s a girl thing… He hangs with the hilarious Kathy Griffin though, so I have to like him.
Nicky and Craig – I got your crazy! I like the square egg.
Now I’m all about Crush by David Archuleta. It finally knocked Womanizer out of my head.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yff9nCctMkg
October 14th, 2008 at 10:20 pm
Oh Michelle, I like that. (even if he looks 10 LOL) I don’t watch any Idols (Canadian or American) so I’m not very familiar with them. But its a nice song, a little mellow perhaps but nice.
October 14th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Yay! I like David Archuleta (SO much better than Cook!!)
I was so mad he lost. Cook seriously sounds REALLY bad sometimes and didn’t get called out on it cause he sounded good when he belted. But some of his low range stuff?! TERRIBLE!! GRR.
And Archuleta may look ten, but I love his voice and I think he’s pretty cute.
It’s so sad they have David singing this song though, since I’m sure his crush is not a girl like the song says….
They should just let him be gay.
And I love how in the video all the girls jump out the car and I’m like “Oh! His hags!” and then a guy jumps out HIS car and I’m like “His boyfriend!” lol.
And when he’s watching the people in the river, there is a guy AND a girl in the water! And we know which one he’s watching! haha. So sad.
October 14th, 2008 at 10:41 pm
Wow Nicky, you have that whole video reworked don’t you. LOL And yes, he’s cute, in a preteen boy kind of way.
October 14th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
My turn to run up the post numbers tonight? Watching the election coverage up here. Hohum. They called the election 20 min. after the polls closed. What a freaking waste of money as we are likely going to end up in the same position we were in before this started. My current big boss got hammered and won’t be back. Oh well, same old same old.
October 14th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
Michelle M.: Knocked out of your head and into mine… Damn you Nicky and your catchy tunes! I also like the “ah!-ah!” part.
It hasn’t quite replaced Magic Position (thanks to Mr. Puntabulous himself) yet, but it might.
October 14th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
Nicky, I can totally see you in this video (as David’s crush). Playing “who am I?”, drinking lemonade and dancing around the campfire. No skinny dipping, though, or Jason will get you!
October 14th, 2008 at 11:30 pm
just popped in to check before I went to bed, saw the comments still increasing, and decided to continue to play along.
Didn’t see the video…but that should came as no surprise…
So who won the election?
And I too find Lance bass not quite attractive. Although if he could get me close to Justin Timberlake, I’d be all over Lance like white on rice!
HUGS…
October 15th, 2008 at 12:18 am
I would totally be David’s love interest in a video.
Which is odd. I usually like older men with facial hair, who are at least 6 foot tall and 200lbs so David is not my ideal man. Yet I think he’s so cute and likeable (lickable?)
October 15th, 2008 at 1:08 am
OK…I know from observation that Tam and Polt BOTH seem to know what’s going on with Dave S. tonight. OMG…could it be a blind date? He seems conspicuously absent for the posts this evening. So, the question is put out there….Where is Dave S. and WHAT is he up to? I’m going to try and get the response to this “First Argyle of the Season” post up to the 400 range so that Dave S. can claim it, but I’m gonna need a little help…anyone?
October 15th, 2008 at 3:05 am
Dave S. está en la biblioteca con Susana.
October 15th, 2008 at 6:45 am
Bill: I wasn’t up to anything last night. No blind date. No date at all actually.
::sigh::
Actually, I just had a bunch of friends over from around 7 until Midnite or so. I went to bed at around 11. They know enough to blow out the candles and lock the door on their way out.
Love friends like that.
Michelle M.: So, no, there was no library involved.
(Thanks, babelfish!) (the only language I ever learned was Klingon — and I don’t even remember much of it anymore…)
But, Bill, I will tell you this: There *is* something going on. Friday night. But my lips are sealed. At least for now.
October 15th, 2008 at 6:52 am
And I really like the Crush song too. Didn’t know it was David Archie-whats-his-name until only about a week or so ago. He *so* doesn’t look like his voice. Great song though. And he sounds great.
And Lance Bass has always been a homely, assymetrical guy. Even though he was the one my daughter used to crush on back in the day. (I still think ‘NSYNC’s music stands up, even now. I loved that my daughter was into them so I could justify buying their CDs to the counterperson at Magnolia’s… )
Am I all caught up? Oh, wait. Britney. Digging the song, but haven’t caught the video yet. I have it bookmarked in YouTube, but keep forgetting to check it out.
October 15th, 2008 at 7:38 am
A more revealing shot of the Womanizer guy:

October 15th, 2008 at 7:46 am
Whoa! Man in underwear. Glad a co-worker didn’t walk into my office just then…
Maybe he’s “gay for pay.” (just had to use that newly-learned term.
We should start a Puntabulous Comments Dictionary. Including “boner” for Nicky…) 
October 15th, 2008 at 7:48 am
Craig: Thanks for the morning pleasure.
Polt: Who won? No one. LOL We are back in the exact same position we were before the election. Okay, maybe the Conservatives have a few more seats but they are still the minority which means everytime there is a vote they need to convince one of the opposition parties to vote with them to pass it and if that doesn’t happen the gov’t falls and we have another election. What a PITA. And I’m sure this makes no sense to anyone in the US because our system is pretty different.
October 15th, 2008 at 8:51 am
Tam, condolences to the sucky results of the elections. I hate minority governments, they are so inert and constantly in crisis mode. While I’m not a fan of the US winner-takes-it-all election system there is something to be said for clear winners and losers. Germany has been in non-stop crisis mode since the elections in 05 when the 2 bigparties had to form a coalition to rule. You can compare that losely to Reps and Dems forming the gov under a Rep president with 3 small parties (Liberals, Greens and Leftis) doing opposition.
No clue about Britney’s song or David’s but ‘The winner takes it all’ is a great song by ABBA, but Meryl botched it pretty badly in Mamma Mia.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:17 am
Dave: You have to use that phrase 3 times in conversation today, then it will be permanently in your lexicon.
Bernd: We don’t do coalitions here. I’m hoping no one wants an election again for awhile so the crisis mode will be minimal. We had that a few years ago where no one was allowed to leave town just in case there was a vote and the politicians were so into navel gazing and saving votes domestically we could barely get them to acknowledge that we have international relations. It was ugly. But what can you do? Go with the flow or go crazy.
Now I have “Winner takes it all” running in my head. Thanks for that.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:26 am
Tam: You live in a strange strange country… I’ve only been to Canada once — a one-day business trip to Toronto (via the corporate jet, no less). Actually, that’s the only time I’ve ever been outside the U.S.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:27 am
Hey, Nicky, I’m 40, with a goatee, 6′1″ and well over 200 lbs….just sayin.
I know what Dave S. is doing Friday night as well *snicker* and for once, my lips are sealed as well. impossible, you say? Nay, I say. Tis true!
Tam: I had a class in foreign govts in college, and I’ve been to Canada several times, so i now a bit about the way it works. minority govts do suck, I think. But that’s the way the system is set up. What canya do? On the plus side, I DO like that you guy can change your leadership when it sucks. I mean here, it because clear to everyone in 2006-2007 that Bushie sucked big hairy donkey balls as a leader, and had we a Parlimentary system, we coulda ousted him then. but we had to wait until 2008 to do it. Course if we had a Parlimentary system, our leader would be Prime Minister Nancy Pelosi.
My understanding on the Britney sexy video guy is that the’s gay for gay, like all the time. But why wouldn’t he be, he’s gorgeous. And we all know how gorgeous gay men usually are.
HUGS…
October 15th, 2008 at 9:43 am
Dave: That’s sad, not that you’ve been to Toronto, Polt will back me up on that, but we need to expland your horizons. Get yourself a passport man and get out there. I lived in Europe for awhile and would be somewhere else right now if not for the kidlet. However corporate jet is way cool. I have to take a regular plane next week.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:48 am
I’ve never had the money to travel.
I’d love to take in England for the hell of it, or head to Mexico to work with the poor as a vacation. Maybe one of these days…
October 15th, 2008 at 10:06 am
Dave: I don’t have the money either really but we all have our priorities. I’m lucky that I get to travel for work. I was in Madrid, Barcelona and London last year and likey will be to Dublin and Lyon in November and Barcelona and London again in Feb, then we’re hitting NYC in April and maybe a two week road trip to Cleveland/Indie/Pittsburgh in July. Its why I don’t own a house, because I spend all my spare cash on more fun things.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:08 am
Dave, that would qualify you as vice-presidential nominee. Sorry- had to go there. And I’d actually prefer one with the ability to learn from your life, a sense of humor
(and washboard-abs)
October 15th, 2008 at 10:09 am
Hey! Columbus is right between Indie and Cleveland (kinda)! Stop by. We’ll do lunch. Have your people call my people.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:11 am
Bernd: It always gets back to the abs with you, doesn’t it.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:16 am
Dave: Sounds good, our people will talk.
Besides the pleasure of your company, why else would I want to visit Columbus? Do your tourist schtick.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:16 am
Dave S. – Mexico! I’m going there this December! It will be my first visit out of the tristate area and I’m so excited. It’ll also be my first plane ride (obviously) and I can’t wait to fly.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:20 am
Nicky: Where are you going in Mexcio? I’ve never been but my parents have been to Cancun and Mazatlan. They enjoyed it but escaping 3 feet of snow in winter to somewhere warm is always a bonus.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:25 am
Nicky: My daughter went to Mexico a year and a half ago. She helped out at an orphanage and loved it. It definitely wasn’t your typical touristy vacation, but she said it was far better than any beach could’ve given her.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:27 am
Personally, I’m a total beach guy. I don’t like swimming in the ocean (or swimming in general), but I love the sun, the sand, and looking out over the water.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:37 am
I don’t like going in lakes or oceans much because “things” live in there. I’m always sure something is going to touch me. Ewwwww.
Good for your daughter for working. I’m afraid mine has developed a bit of a hedonistic attitude to travel. 4 stars or above for her. I’ve created a monster.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:38 am
I went to Europe for 30 days when I was in high school in 84. Then, in 95, I spent two weeks visiting a friend in England. And of course, I’ve been to Toronto 14 times. LOVE IT. Especially the gay Iraqis and their sexual prowess.
Dave S., Toronto’s just a ten hour drive for me…should be about the same for you: Columbus to Cleveland, around the lake to Buffalo, cross over and take the QEW all the way to Toronto! Something you oughtta think about dude, I’m telling ya….
HUGS…
October 15th, 2008 at 10:47 am
Polt. Its only about 2 hours from Buffalo so depending how long it takes you to get there its not too far.
Do a road trip Dave, take the kids and visit Canada. (But you need passports now.) Then keep going another 5 hours past Toronto and have dinner with me. See? Lots of fun. Well, damn you’re only 2 hours from Montreal when you get to my place so worth a stop there. Better make it a couple of weeks.
I’ll say hi to Toronto for you next week Polt. You want a post card?
October 15th, 2008 at 10:56 am
yeah, I’m not going to touristy places either.
I’ll be in the Yucatan peninsula. I start in Mérida, which is the most touristy place we’ll be. Then to San Simón, followed by Lacanjá, Palenque, Uxmal, Unajil, San Felipe, then back to Mérida, then back home. We’re also stopping at archeological sites at Bonampak and Yaxchilán but won’t be in those places all day.
My teacher (that I’m going with) doesn’t like touristy areas so we’re going to the remote areas, sleeping in hammocks (and he said scorpions often surround your hammock while you sleep… yikes!) or outside in tents, and be in places without plumbing. I’m not looking forward to bathing with water from the well or having to flush the toilet by pouring well water down a hole that serves as a toilet, but I am excited to be there in general and not be in the touristy places.
October 15th, 2008 at 11:00 am
Sounds really cool Nicky. You will get much more of a Mexican “experience”. But you are young and hardy. Once you get to my advanced state of decrepitude, if there isn’t a/c and a working shower, I’ll pass.
October 15th, 2008 at 11:14 am
Dave, yeah, the things I cannot have… ok from now on i’ll rave about your ABSolutely fabulous sense of humor.
I’m going to Mexico on a cruise next week and absolutely can’t wait. Cruises are my new favorite kind of vacation. There isn’t a more relaxing vacation.
October 15th, 2008 at 11:18 am
Bernd: I’d like to try a cruise, after Craig’s post about how fun it was (drunkeness not withstanding
) it seems very relaxing. Someday, its on my list. Have fun.
October 15th, 2008 at 11:21 am
Tam: Postcards are nice…I’d rather see it in person…you don’t have extra cash to pay for a room for me too, eh?
October 15th, 2008 at 11:21 am
Who’s Craig? Oh wait, that’s me!
October 15th, 2008 at 11:22 am
383 comments…Christ, this post is like a cockroach…the nuclear bombs will fall, we’ll be in a nuclear winter and killing each other for a year outdated can of anchovies, and the comments here will still keep growing.
Incredible.
HUGS..
October 15th, 2008 at 11:23 am
Yeah, I want to go on a cruise eventually. I’ve never been on a boat besides from like, tiny ones during field trips to the river near my school. haha.
So after I have my first plane ride, I’ll have to ride a ship next.
October 15th, 2008 at 11:32 am
Polt: I don’t even get to stay overnight. I have to be at the airport at the ungodly hour of 5:30 am and then will be home by 8:00 that night. So sorry, no extra space for you.
October 15th, 2008 at 11:45 am
Nicky: That’s sounds like it’s going to be an incredible trip and an amazing experience.
October 15th, 2008 at 11:46 am
For the short time I was there, I loved Toronto. I’d love to go back. I guess I’ll have to think about getting a passport…
October 15th, 2008 at 11:48 am
Is Dave S still gonna get the coveted 400 spot?
October 15th, 2008 at 11:48 am
And I used to think cruises were kinda dumb, but Craig’s convinced me to think otherwise. It would definitely be something I’d consider.
October 15th, 2008 at 11:49 am
Craig: I’m holding off going to the gym for lunch until 400’s past.
October 15th, 2008 at 11:51 am
Good idea…if you miss this one I don’t think this will get to 500!
October 15th, 2008 at 11:53 am
Oh we’ll get to 500 alright, just you wait…(he says, adding a totally superfluous comment just to inch the number higher to 400).
HUGS…
October 15th, 2008 at 11:55 am
Craig: Are you about to kill us for having all these comments get sent to your email?
I feel I need to apologize again…
October 15th, 2008 at 11:56 am
Would hate to delay Dave’s trip to the gym. What number is this? Don’t want to steal his thunder and all.
October 15th, 2008 at 11:57 am
Tam: Yours was 396…
October 15th, 2008 at 11:57 am
Well, just before I leave for lunch that would be 397.
October 15th, 2008 at 11:59 am
Okay, I gotta head to the gym so I can get back to work, so I’m gonna cheat. 399.
October 15th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
400!! Woohoo!
October 15th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
Yay You!!
You’re life is completely now.
October 15th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
Sweet. Congrats Dave S. Well done team.
October 15th, 2008 at 12:38 pm
lol. And now Dave is at the gym, working on those abs….. Just picture it… (I think everyone is already)
October 15th, 2008 at 1:02 pm
I think Nicky is right, since we all helped with this milestone achievement, we deserve a reward.
He and I still dont agree over Britney, but agree on this. 
HUGS….
October 15th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
I’d like to thank the Academy of Puntabulous Enthusiasts for the honor. And my mother — Thank you, Mom! — and most of all, I’d be remiss by not thanking the person that made this all possible: Mr. McAnally!
::sniffle::
October 15th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
And, yes, my abs (and shoulders) got a decent workout today. It’s nice that you guys are so concerned.
October 15th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Dave, to bring this ‘almost’ full circle: http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/youngmens/sweaters/PRD~372854/xg+Argyle+Sweater.jsp
October 15th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
Bernd: Y’know, I saw that one at Kohl’s, but the argyle pattern isn’t knitted in, it’s just silk-screened on.
I found the exact sweater Craig was wearing, but no zipper — just a pull-over. 
I’m totally busy this weekend, so I’m not going to be able to try to hunt it down at another Kohl’s… Maybe Craig’s post just made them too damn popular and everyone bought them all up…
October 15th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
Hey, you didn’t thank God. I thought you Americans were always thanking God for stuff. *eye roll*
Oh wait, you thanked Craig, the God of Bloggers, so all’s good.
October 15th, 2008 at 2:10 pm
Hate to tell everyone that the keg is tapped but can we at least move to another post to bring some life to this string…it has been a great time but I would like to see equal love to all of Craig’s posts….what do you say you puntabulous cult freaks?
October 15th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
I got my #400, so I’m good. Lead the way, Hayden.
October 15th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
Let’s at least go to that hot chick that is 15 years old…that way i won’t have to keep scrolling down so far past the presidential canidates…see everyone there after 2:20?
October 15th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
Sounds like I party! Do I have time to go potty?
October 15th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
We can’t end this on a 13…bad luck dontcha know? So I’ll just say here that Dave S, you MIGHT have time this weekend to go to Kohls, if that’s what you so desire.
Just sayin.
HUGS…
October 15th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
hayden: “That way i won’t have to keep scrolling down so far past the presidential canidates” HAHA! My thoughts exactly!
November 8th, 2008 at 7:53 am
[...] mom called me bruiser because she said I looked like such a little tough guy. If only she knew the argyle-lovin’, unicorn-story-writing man child she had on her [...]
