Ah man AmbushBug, you don’t mind if I call you Bug do you? That’s giving me some of the best laughs this month. I love this quote about a guide book for dogs.

My son got this for Christmas from his aunt–who had no idea of it’s----um----potential. He zealously opened his gifts in front of all the relatives and was so excited to get yet another Harry Potter related piece of plastic. He ripped it out of the box, turned it on and hopped aboard and at that precise moment every adult in the room did a collective jaw drop as we all realized what my innocent little son was, ahem, riding. As he zoomed out of the room in search of the golden snitch (yeah, that’s what they’re calling it now), I leaned over to my cousin and said “well, at least you didn’t supply the K-Y, too.”

So, anyone want to know where to find a 24 inch vibrator for $4.99? 😉

Hawthorne

I’ve noted the pony thing too but my take on it is different. Some friend and I in England had a game going (horseback riding is much more common or just noticeable over there) where we would count how many girls we would see riding before we saw a boy or man. My total got to 131 before a hunt came by and spoiled it.

If you think about it a girl spends a lot more time taking care of her horse and training it than riding. I occurred to me, “what other activity that girls enjoy involves caring for and training a large, hairy, smelly, stupid animal that you only occasionally get to use for recreation?”

Check out the reviews of Bil Keane’s Family Circus books. They came from the defunct Dysfunctional Family Circus website.

Why couldn’t thay’ve had toys like this when I was a kid? My mom wouldn’t have been suspicious if I spent hours in my room with an actual toy, instead of my dad’s electric shaver. 😃

It was a beautiful, wonderful day when God brought forth the electric toothbrush. Awwwww YEAH!

Wow. I feel so utterly and horribly naive.

I never commandeered anyone’s shaver or toothbrush!

I also found an additional useful feature when I accidentally dropped a coin next to my home shoeshine kit and it told me that word on the street was the Gambinis had been taking heat from the DA’s office on account of that business with Frankie the Snake.

I love his review for **The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex For Women**  
Be careful and think long and hard before you give this book to your wife or girlfriend as a gift. As I learnt to my cost, if she looks at it in horror you won’t be able to tell her that you are a little drunk and just slipped."

But that book just has some of the best reviews anyway filled with wonderful quotes like **A reader** from Wisconsin. GO look it up, it’s worth it.

Thanks for the Henry Raddick link **AmbushBug**! The shoeshine review was one of my favorites too.
