What ever you say **Kalley**. But I think my heraldic device should be wind-up. I wouldn’t want it to run out of juice just when I need it most and I didn’t pack along enough batteries. ---

And just why would an oyster need a dildo? 😃 Or for that matter a diablo. BTW, I have no idea why oysters _diablo_ is called that. They were kinda spicy but not real spicy. So I have no idea what makes em _diablo_. I’ve had chicken _diablo_ before. It was kinda spicy. Maybe _diablo_ means made by demon possessed oysters or chickens? Can pork be _diablo_? beef? other seafood? We need us a _diablo_ expert! -swampbear(who likes typing _diablo_) ---

Never forget the burly men. \*\* I’m too lazy to read through a whole thread looking for a single incident right now. Anyone want to give us the Reader’s Digest version or at least link to the post (I know that **Rue** knows how to link to posts, and nobody knows noses like Neosinephrin). And I’m not afraid to model tight, shiny pants for bears. Or any other of Og’s loveable creatures. Especially if they’re buying the beers. Just look and don’t touch is my motto. ---

In the crease of last week’s thread where it goes from page 1 to page 2, **Bumba** riffs on Pirates and pulls out Ray Stevens’ _The Pirate Song_ in which there are the lines: _I want to sing and dance, I want to be a pirate in the Pirates of Penzance. Wear me silver buckled slippers and me tight, shiney pants_ Now Pirates = shiney pants. It’s a strange ol’ World. Innit? ---

**scout** I say we keep giving **Shibb** beer and see how far we can get. 😉 BTW, I found the MMP buried on the second page. On Wednesday yet! Come on people get busy. Looks like the night shift is slacking again. Oh, and I now have DSL. swampy has entered the 21st century! ---

Pffft - DSL. _I_ have broadband cable! Yay me! 😛 Happy Wednesday, all. We have 5 tickets for tonight’s $32M lotto drawing. If I win, I’ll take all MMP-ers on a cruise. Maybe the rest of the board, too, but only the coolest of the cool hang out in the MMP. So you all will definitely get to go. If we win. ---

Trying to bribe providence, eh? That’ll never work. I think the two lottos you can get near here are $54 and $77 million, respectively. If I win, then I’ll take you all to steak dinner. Wherever you like. ---

Can we go on an Alaskan cruise **FCM**? I always wanted to do that. I thought about broadband cable, but then remembered just how often the digital cable goes off round these parts and how much I despise Mediacom (our cable company) and went with BellSouth DSL. -swampbear (wishing cooties on Mediacom) ---

**Shibb** , what kind of money would it take for you to not wear any pants to dinner? 😃 Hey, **swampy** what happened to your cool sig line? (I’ll take any kind of fame I can get) ---

Hmm… the 3.5 year old indeed makes it tough. In a couple years, I’d say [Apples To Apples: Junior](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004U3BA/103-9673268-7217426) or classics like Othello, Connect Four, Checkers. (Unfortunately two player games would require taking turns or playing in teams to involve the whole family) Hmm… maybe with someone to whisper the word in his ear he could play Pictionary Junior. Dexterity games might be fun, even if he’s not good at them yet, like Jenga, Kerplunk, don’t break the ice, or even Carabande. Drat… ask me again in like 4 or 5 years and I’ll have all kinds of suggestions. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/marilyn-marilyn-marilyn-lifes-a-butter-dream/217732.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/marilyn-marilyn-marilyn-lifes-a-butter-dream/217732.md?page=4)
