…and nor am I. Anyone have any ideas?
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, check this.
Are you asking what a two-way is? It’s one of those neuvo walkie-talking things (Nextel/Motorolla/etc) or a two-way text messenger (pager/cell phone.)
Yup. Thanks.
Hmmm, I thought it was something dirty.
Ah well.
I thought it was like a double-header
Ok then, what’s a double-header?
AFAIK it’s like a sword fight only with two women and one bloke. I could be wrong though.
I can’t picture that. Do you mean a spit roast?
Does she wear while she watching wrestling?
I love that song.
Here’s one for kissthisguy:
“Her cd changer’s full of singers that are mad at their dad.”
I thought it was:
“Her cd changer’s full of singers that are manic or dead.”
Hee hee. I met the guys from Bowling for Soup while they were here in Charleston. They put on a good show, and they were really funny.
(If you liked this song, look for “The Bitch Song”. It’s funny, too.)
While we’re at it:“she’d like to score some reefer and a forty”.
I know what reefer is, but what’s “a forty”?
A forty is a bottle of beer that is sold in 40 ounce quantities. Mostly cheap beer, malt liquor. You can get a forty for $1.90 here. (Really cheap, but that stuff eats your stomach.)
How would she wear that??
what’s a double-header?
prop male genitalia built for two to use
how would she wear it?
strap-on, Duh! L (unless she had real muscle control)
A “two way” was old-fashioned slang for a stretch girdle – it stretched two ways, see? I read the lyrics to the song and her wearing a girdle fits. In fact, the girdle image in the first stanzaa gave me a mental picture of the girl that carried me through the song. A gum-popping, big-haired girl in tight clothes and high heels, right?
Jess (who is just barely old enough to remember two-way girdles.)
The song is definitely referring to a two-way pager, such as the Motorola T-900 or P-935. Trust me, I’ve spent the last three years working for a company that’s trying to sell the damn things, and before that, I spent two-and-a-half years working for the company that built the damn things.
As a matter of complete coincidence, I went to high school with Bowling for Soup. The bass player’s mom (she’s really cute!) was one of my professors in college.
How could she “wear” one of them though?
You wear a two-way clipped to your belt/waistband/pocket in the same way one might wear a cell phone.
Since they are mostly palm-sized (except for the monster Motorola Pagewriter 2000 series, or “clam shells”), the typical manner of operation is to have them on your belt and slip them out of the clip when you receive a message.
The Blackberry RIM series, the more popular devices on the market right now, resemble small calculators or PDA’s with their open faces and keyboards.
The Motorola units, OTOH, open like a compact mirror or Star Trek communicator.
I hope to get an official answer to this soon. We’ll see. Who knows? Maybe the point is that you’re not supposed be… quite sure what that means. 
We have confirmation. It’s a pager.
Very good!
