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.
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!
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…
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?)
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?
Dave S. está en la biblioteca con Susana.
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.
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.
A more revealing shot of the Womanizer guy:

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…) 
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.
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.
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.
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.
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…
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.
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…
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.
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)
Hey! Columbus is right between Indie and Cleveland (kinda)! Stop by. We’ll do lunch. Have your people call my people.
Bernd: It always gets back to the abs with you, doesn’t it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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…
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Who’s Craig? Oh wait, that’s me!
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..
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.
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.
Nicky: That’s sounds like it’s going to be an incredible trip and an amazing experience.
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…
Is Dave S still gonna get the coveted 400 spot?
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.
Craig: I’m holding off going to the gym for lunch until 400′s past.
Good idea…if you miss this one I don’t think this will get to 500!
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…
Craig: Are you about to kill us for having all these comments get sent to your email?
I feel I need to apologize again…
Would hate to delay Dave’s trip to the gym. What number is this? Don’t want to steal his thunder and all.
Tam: Yours was 396…
Well, just before I leave for lunch that would be 397.
Okay, I gotta head to the gym so I can get back to work, so I’m gonna cheat. 399.
400!! Woohoo!
