> [@Arnold\_Winkelried](#): > > No, I’ll get her something, I always do, it just drives my wife crazy that every year I like to wait until the 24th for my power christmas shopping. But I work best under pressure! Yeah, my husband used to wait until the last day to hit the malls. Then he discovered that Walgreens was open 24/7, including Christmas Day, so now he waits until the last MINUTE. Yippee! If you’re going to go this route, I advise not just grabbing anything off the shelf. Show her that you’re thinking of HER you know? I mean, the Robitussin would have meant so much more to me had he gotten the kind with the expectorant instead of the chest decongestant… ---

I wonder if he’s been watching _Blue’s Clues._ The salt is fucking the pepper on that show, and they’re having little spice babies. Next thing you know, the spices will be doing it with animals. ---

There are many famous curdled celebrities: Ray Romano, Colby Bryant, Curd Russel and Gouda Hawn, Chester A. Arthur, Chuck E. Cheese - many did change the spelling of their names over the years (ie. the lead singer of Police used to be known as String), but most cheesy celebrities do indeed age well. Little know trivia - the film “American Graffiti” was originally titled “Brie Graffiti”, as a fromage to French Cinema, but was later changed to it’s more common, USA name. ---

It’s okay if he’s gay. It won’t cause him to croak, _monsieur_. Just make sure he marries a man taller than himself. ---
