Recent conversation with Brenda (after hearing All I Want for Christmas... again):

Me: Mariah Carey beginning with "I don't want a lot for Christmas..." and then revealing she wants "you" is kind of a burn,

Brenda: She could mean that she doesn't want a lot of other gifts and only wants her man friend.

Me: I know what she means, I was making a joke so don't overanalyze and ruin it.

Brenda: Don't ruin my song.

There seems to be several different meanings to that phrase, these days especially. Meaning 1) A teenage girl in Germany sold her virginity online to an Italian businessman for $18000. She had hoped to raise $100K for schooling, I think. Go »

First Post

Rather than clog the TC Board with things that mostly interest me exclusively, this seemed a more appropriate avenue. I'll probably post something nearly every day as I'm online daily just surfin' & lookin' for weird stuff. For example, how else would I have ever known of these products if I hadn't seen them using "strange" in a search string? Go »

Auntie Em! It's a Twister, It's a Twister!
