I just bought an album by Scottish band Belle & Sebastian called “The Boy with the Arab Strap”. There’s also a band from Scotland called Arab Strap.
I have some vague recollection that an Arab Strap is something kinky or S&Mish, but can’t find any references online. Anyone know what one is?
From the official Arab Strap site.

Well I’ll be. I thought I’d read everything on their site.
Thanks. Wonder what that looks like…?
Wolfie is this where I get to borrow your cool Southern Belle accent?

The lolly sticks are available in the following finishes:
English Oak

For an extra $10.00, our expert craftmen will individually monogram each lolly stick.
I sense a website business opportunity in the making, here …

Could be an idea for a new Straightdope marketing gimmick…

Oi! These ain’t cheap foreign rubbish.
My lolly sticks are made from the finest Lincolnshire mahogany, specially grown in the subtropical forests outside of Skegness.
They are hand carved by skilled craftsmen, based in a picturesque 16th century council flat (where it is rumoured that Shakespeare wrote his classic “Oliver Twist”) situated in the rural spendor of Wolverhampton.

Uh, TMI warning, I guess, though it’s on a plastic display model.
