awwwwww **Rue** I didn’t win the big game thing either. But I am going to buy another quick pick. I just know that lottery puter’s gonna give me the right numbers one day. Is a polopony that thing doctors are always telling men over forty they need? If it is why would you wanna get two at one time. Yikes! You know what goes good with ham sammiches and beer? Marshmallow fluff! And **FairyChatMom** I am a grown man who likes thinking about grown men in their underwear (and less) a lot. So there! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by swampbear \* > \*\*And **FairyChatMom** I am a grown man who likes thinking about grown men in their underwear (and less) a lot. So there! \*\* Ya know, **swampbear** , I like ya and all, but I didn’t need a mental image of you thinking about grown men in their underwear. If you implant visions like this into my brain ever again, I shall have to give you a stern look and a severe talking-to! And then I shall snub you for an indeterminate amount of time. And then I just might hold my breath. And then **Rue** will skewer you with his rapier wit because of my Special Friend status and all that. So, in the future, I suggest you confine your remarks to the esteem and adoration you have for me, with the occasional marshmallow fluff reference tossed in. That way, everyone will be happy. No, really, I know what I’m talking about! I have my finger on the pulse of this thread and… no, wait, that’s not the pulse… and that’s not this thread… …excuse me while I wash my hands. sheesh. ---

Perhaps we can get together over some marshmallow fluff and you can tell them to me. Up (err…down?) with underwear!! L ---

Alllll Righty then… Adressing previously raised points: Underpants - I likes 'em on wimmins, until I get 'em off. On guys, not so much. If you boys want to do another _Underpants Exchange_ please leave me out. A Bit of Affection in the Seat - Ewww. Unless you’re into that sort of thing. Nothing wrong with that. Not Going Fishing With **Rue** - and apparently not sitting in a rowboat for an afternoon with a cooler full of beer and **Rue** either. DANG. No Instant Huge Wad of Cash - Eh. Never had it, don’t miss it. Socks - Who really needs socks anyway? I mean, people like me who live in relatively temperate climates don’t need 'em. Except, maybe in winter when the snow is about two feet thick, but then I’ll be wearing boots anyway, and … aw, ignore this part, socks are cool. **lno** Wanting to Play Word Association - Think of a festering about-to-burst pustule growing out of a multiplexer. A multiplexer that’s just stuck in a rack next to the access blocks. Then, try to get some sleep tonight. I still want to pet the polopony. And feed it carrots. ---

I’m curious. Why is everybody demanding that everybody else display their bottles of the GREATEST SOFT DRINK EVER PRODUCED? What is wrong with you people? You can get your own **Moxie** [sup]TM[/sup]. All you have to do is walk into the nearest supermarket (if you live in the _extreme_ Northeastern United States) and buy a bottle of the stuff. Then you go sit on the beach and watch the bikinis walk by. And eat your Amato’s. Fer cryin’ out loud, I have to tell you people everything. ---

I think polopony is a great word. [Really. See?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=1899019#post1899019) I think more people should use it, in fact. I’m sure Ed wouldn’t mind.

… **Cartooniverse** strolls across the beach blithely. Stopping to hug Dopers he’s missed for way too long. He reaches the surf’s edge. Oh, what to do? Stroll with his feet in the moist sand, as he talks quietly with his secret paramour, hand in hand, heads bowed closely so they can whisper over the relentless surf sounds? Recline regally and chat about as he watches the waves endlessly pound? Maybe, peel a few grapes and sip lemon water and soak up the ambience? Hawaiian shirt is dark blue huge flowers on a bright yellow background, festooned with pineapples. Matching blue shorts, and cobalt blue Tivas complete the outfit. Miraculously, the shirt disguises his belly. Reflective blue shades on top. No straw hat, he loves the sun on his face. However, since he’s aware of the dangers of melanoma, he has Desitin schmeared all over his entire body. The sweat struggles to pop through, but doesn not succeed. Fortunately, he found Blue Desitin, and man does he look good in coordinated petrolium by-products !!! 🆒 Cartooniverse ---

Now I’m visualizing the Blue Man Group on the beach in Hawaiian shirts. I’m also visualizing a _really_ long extension cord so I can mix up a big blender full of Marguaritas next to my beach chair. I’ve got this visualization thing down pat. Aren’t those thongs uncomfortable?
