Home from the dollar store. SERIOUSLY creeped out.

[Cyn]

I love the dollar store.

Reminds me of a story in the film studio where I worked. A whole department got fired and the head of the department kept his job because he distanced himself from the staff (that he himself had hand picked).

Someone sent him a cute, oriental box with two silver balls and an anonymous note:
“Here are some balls to replace the ones you seem to lack.”

@Excalibre

Wait, what? Ben-wa balls are not the same as those pairs of heavy metal balls that come in the pretty boxes. The metal balls make noise when you spin them in your hands - that’s all they’re for. Ben-wa balls are a different thing entirely - the metal balls are not meant to be stuffed in there.

I think these are just the kitschy little oriental gewgaws a lot of us have somewhere in our houses. These are not the same as ben-wa balls. Aren’t those usually attached together? Like, on a rope or something?

BTW, folks, don’t shove those clinky metal balls up your ass. They might not come out. When shoving stuff up there, stick to things with a nice flared base.

I have the same understanding of the Ben-Wa balls as you do. Those Eastern meditation thingies are completely different, and are supposed to come in fancy-schmancy boxes.

This is a minor hijack, but there used to be footage of a colonoscopy done to retrieve a vibrator from some hapless person’s ass. The video had no sound, but you could hear the snickers in the text description.

Wow 45 postings and no one has mentioned
Humphrey Bogart as Captain Queeg in the Caine Mutiny

Didn’t Captain Queeg roll these “stress relievers” in his hands ? I could hardly imagine they would have made a major motion picture in the 1950’s that featured objects that could also be sexual toys.

Too late!

@Mr. Moto

They’re very handy to have around when you’re a lonely, put-upon naval officer, and somebody has stolen all of the frozen strawberries.

The stress relievers, I mean. NOT the ben-wa balls.

[InternetLegend]

I was just finding your post to quote it, Mr. Moto, but you beat me to it.

@Otto

How about a chicken puppet? Would you and Jeremy like a chicken puppet?

Who wouldn’t want a chicken puppet? Assuming, of course, they already had anal beads.

@Little Nemo

Ben-wa balls on sale for only a dollar? At those prices, you could have filled a box with them.

What are you laughing at?
:eek:

oh… I get it now.

Shame on you.

[dogbutler]

@omni-not

Freiheit: They were return ben wa balls…

No returns,exchange only!

dogbutler, Dollar Tree manager.
Yes, I thought they were Ben-wa balls too. :eek:

[Really_Not_All_That_Bright]

@wolfman

I had always thought it was spelled “benoit” not “ben-wa”

Well, they can cripple…

@scott evil

Up the butt? Answer: yes.

You keep your smoking jacket up your butt?

:eek:

[Kempis]

I am appalled at this thread.

You all need to go to church, and in a religion that doesn’t celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ with anus and vagina toys.

:eek:

Praise the Lord!

My Apologies Mr Moto
Yes your posting #35 was way ahead of mine. I am always very careful not to submit an “I’m surprised that no one…” posting until I have thoroughly checked the entire postings so far. I used IE’s “Edit find” for words such as “Bogart”, “Caine”, “Mutiny” and so on. Little did I know that the SDMB™ is filled with clever folks that don’t always come right out and make a “ton of bricks” reference as I usually do.

Again, My Apologies Mr Moto

[Mr.Moto]

No apologies needed, wolf_meister. I was deliberately being vague to see if anybody out there didn’t get the joke.

I see you got the joke, but missed the post.
