STRUMPDATE
Today Ridley and I head to Phoenix. At the moment we're at LAX, where security personnel alertly located, and confiscated, the deodorant stick I have been carrying on airplanes for two weeks now. Yes, I fought the law, and the law won. I feel like Bonnie and Clyde, whose luck finally ran out when lawmen ended their lawless rampage and took away their deodorant. The point being, if you come to see us strumpet in Phoenix, do not come too close.

Stinky boogers.

Dave, they sell deodorant in Phoenix. Just sayin'.

You know, Dave, I suspect that they sell deodorant in Phoenix, but I hear that underwear sales are surprisingly low there.
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 21, 2006 at 11:33 AM
By the time Dave gets to Phoenix
He'll be schvitzing....

Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 11:35 AM

Hope you find one before your trip to Denver tomorrow! I'm going to try to drive up to the city, but this is the weekend we extract the honey from our bee hives, so I might be "stuck" at home.

Dave, you
stinkyoutlaw you!!Posted by: Siouxie | September 21, 2006 at 11:39 AM
Phoenix Sky Harbor...nice place. Confusing as hell, but nice. Enjoy the cusine.
Posted by: angene15 | September 21, 2006 at 11:40 AM
Somehow, I think stinky pits might be more of a lethal weapon than deodorant. Just sayin'.

as long as they don't wave to their adoring masses, it should be perfectly safe.
or maybe someone can calculate a minimal safe radius while lobbing deodarant sticks at them... just sayin'
Posted by: pepe | September 21, 2006 at 11:44 AM
yeah but the deodorant on Phoenix smells like old people..
Posted by: Chaz | September 21, 2006 at 11:46 AM
I don't think pirates use deoderant.
Hey, I know, everyone who is going to the strumpdate go sans deoderant. That way no one will be able to tell that Dave is stinky. Of course, no one will be able to stand up, keep their eyes from watering, or breathe, but Dave won't be embarrassed.
Is that how you spell embarrassed? Hmmm, going to find dictionary...
Posted by: Jessica R. | September 21, 2006 at 11:49 AM
I thought I asked you guys to postpone your Phoenix trip until Friday? I can't get up there, today!
Ah, shucks.
Posted by: Schadeboy | September 21, 2006 at 11:49 AM
Jessica, you raise an interesting, if moot point. TLAP Day was Tuesday. If today were SLAP ("smell like a pirate") Day, I suppose that could work.
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 21, 2006 at 11:51 AM
Not to be confused with the other SLAP (sh!t like a pirate) Day, right CH???
Posted by: Siouxie | September 21, 2006 at 11:53 AM
Wouldn't that just be over the railing, Siouxie? I can do that, but the neighbors across the street might object.
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 21, 2006 at 11:55 AM
But is the security guy savvy enough to know that Dave's Deodorant Stick might fetch him a few bucks on e-b@y?
Posted by: KDF | September 21, 2006 at 11:57 AM
Jessica
I believe it is spelled
in-bare-@ssed.
No wait - that was yesterday's thread.

Just slap a tuna sandwhich under each arm....then you can blame the sandwhiches.
Posted by: Punkin Poo | September 21, 2006 at 11:58 AM
uh oh DPC - there you go again with your simuls
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 12:02 PM
KDF - I smell a conspiracy

And I barely got any refractory period...
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 12:13 PM
well, we like to keep you on your toes (hence the K)
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 12:15 PM
or on yours (hence the Q)
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 12:16 PM
either works for me
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 12:17 PM
Sheesh, get a room, you two! :-D
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 21, 2006 at 12:17 PM
Clean - there's plenty of letters that could include you
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 12:18 PM
*snork* Okay, I'm in.
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 21, 2006 at 12:22 PM
A is not my cup o' tea.
any other suggestions?
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 12:24 PM
well, how convenient for you that the only one left is H

Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 12:31 PM
okay - I'll give you M (or vice versa) but the others involve 2 women

Posted by: Siouxie | September 21, 2006 at 12:34 PM
Now, Siouxie, if you're in, that makes things easier - more options and less ick factor for the boys
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 12:37 PM
I was having a bit of trouble telling what bumps are where in those letters.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 12:39 PM
Completely understandable, DPC!
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 12:41 PM
wench, I can barely figure out half of those 'letters' let alone try ta bend that way...ouchie!

Posted by: Siouxie | September 21, 2006 at 12:50 PM
Perhaps airlines should start giving away complimentary toilettries. Nothing huge, just a couple days worth of fresh. That will never happen though, as they no longer feed people fly domestically. Or you have to pay for a box lunch.
Posted by: Prairie Dog | September 21, 2006 at 12:51 PM
you might want to throw in a Yoga class as well - some are a bit challenging
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 12:52 PM
never mind, Siouxie - looks like the boys have moved on
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 01:05 PM
No! No! I'm right here!
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 21, 2006 at 01:15 PM
snork, Clean...afraid you'll miss the party?
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 01:19 PM
Sorry - I had to deal with
annoying idiots who think their problems matterwork.Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 01:39 PM
do they not realize you have bloggers waiting for you?
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 01:42 PM
Hmmm sorry...I guess I saw something shiny...
what were we doing again?
Posted by: Siouxie | September 21, 2006 at 01:46 PM
Please don't get me started. Several of us have discussed having a bake sale to raise money to hire a hit man to deal with the situation. This group of people p!$$ off everyone in my office. (they're at a remote site)
Brownies for a buck.
Giant cockroach is only 2 bits.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 01:48 PM
ooh...do tell DCP...need torture ideas?
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 01:50 PM
Please do provide torture ideas. My favorite so far is to tie them up, cover them with Jell-o, and leave them in the wood to be eaten by rabid critters.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 01:58 PM
Or you could slowly drive them insane - have you tried piping all Barry Manilow music into their Muzak system?
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 02:08 PM
They already are insane. They are trying to make us join them. We'd like a more permanent solution.
Being locked into a water-tight room, given all the food and drink they could want, and being left to drownd in their own waste is another popular option.
(Not funny - some of them have gone to jail for the cr@p they've been doing.)
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 02:13 PM
No kidding? Sounds like a good story............(prompting you for more dirt)
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 02:20 PM
The {spit} government oversight agency for our industry is very specific about what you can and cannot do. These bone heads tend to interpret those regulations rather losely. Plus they are terminally (I hope) stupid about PCs.
Them - Your application crashed.
Me - No. It's a SmallLimp PC. Winblows wend Blue Screen. My application was working just fine until its operating system died.
Them - Huh??
Me - {Bang!!}
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 02:31 PM
glad I don't work with you - as soon as you started using those terms, I heard a buzzing in my ear...
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 02:34 PM
SmallLimp?
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 02:35 PM
SmallLimp?
Winblows?
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 02:36 PM
Dave, happy to hear that they didn't confiscate your lipstick, too...
Posted by: estrogen centrale | September 21, 2006 at 02:36 PM
you're asking me, DPC?
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 02:42 PM
I was trying to guess which terms caused the buzzing in your ears.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 02:46 PM
you seem like a smart guy so I'm a bit embarassed to say pretty much all the computer lingo you said caused the buzz...forgive those of us a little further down on the IQ chain.
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 02:48 PM
Not overly inteligent, no. I just remember most of what I've ever seen or heard. And I'm sure that you could drag out some jargon that would make me say "huh?".
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 02:56 PM
and probably blush as well
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 02:57 PM
Cool! Lets hear it!
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 03:00 PM
all in good time
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 03:01 PM
OK.
I'll wait for the bell to ring before I start salivating.
You will ring the bell first, wont you?
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 03:06 PM
why? Afraid I'll take you down when you're not ready?
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 03:12 PM
I'd like a chance to put on a bib to catch my drool.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 03:16 PM
wow - and I haven't even warmed up yet
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 03:20 PM
DCP - I thought "ring my bell" was the man's job.
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 03:22 PM
Huh? What? I got distracted by
yourGiselle's puppies.Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 03:30 PM
VS should pay us blogettes for the referrals we give them! I have some as well and they are the most comfortable bra ever made.
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 03:31 PM
I'll take your word for it. I don't wear one -NTTAWWT for those (guys) who do.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 03:36 PM
doesn't mean you can't suprise the little woman with one...we love that kind of stuff
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 03:37 PM
Dave you could always check in your deodorant. Just the deodorant. don't put it in a bag or anything apply the baggage claim ticket directly to the deodorant bar. I'm sure it will show up in Phoenix by say Tuesday.
Posted by: Mad Scientist Weasel | September 21, 2006 at 03:41 PM
Um, no. She definitely needs to try those on before she suys them. And I'm not sure VS has her size.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 03:42 PM
Isn't the book strumpeting tour still about pirates?
Posted by: Jessica R. | September 21, 2006 at 03:42 PM
wow - how big are your hands?
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 03:43 PM
My hands measure just under a D.
And, yes, there is some wasted.
I hadn't heard that there were pirates on this leg of the tour - except for the government security pirates pillagin' the deodorant, don't 'ee know.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 03:47 PM
Oh - well, they definately carry her size then. That's smaller than me is how I know
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 03:48 PM
I thought the web site listed 38D as the top size. More research is required!!
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 03:50 PM
you have to visit a store to get bigger...but don't get too excited - I don't think they allow you to judge size by feel
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 03:51 PM
Mad Scientist-Or some security guards are really nice and let you keep the container, as long as they remove the suspicious contents. ;-)
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | September 21, 2006 at 03:54 PM
Shoot.
Then she'll definitely need to try on the first one. Surprises can follow after I know what to get.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 03:56 PM
Some travelers have accused the security contractors of being in cahoots with deodorant vendors that greet them when they deplane. This accusation came after one man’s purchase turned out to be the same deodorant that he had turned in to security when he boarded.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | September 21, 2006 at 03:58 PM
well, you can feel her, not the saleswomen. Although the idea of you going into a store fondling the shocked saleswoman makes me laugh. I wonder if they'd let you to get the commission? care to try and report back?
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 03:59 PM
I'll try anything (that does not get me arrested) once. I think I'll have to ask before groping.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 04:05 PM
well, that takes away the dare part of the whole experiment!
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 04:07 PM
I said "I think". I'll see if the sales girl looks willing when I get there and procede accordingly.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 04:10 PM
I can't wait to hear the results! If you get injured, we can take up a blog collection for your medical bills
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 04:13 PM
It'll take a few days - possibly this weekend. I'll be sure to update when there is something to update. You might need to take up two collections. If I need medical help because of the sales girl, you can be sure that after I recover I'll need more medical help because of my wife.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 04:19 PM
hmmm..."honey, I did it for the blog" probably won't help, will it?
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 04:21 PM
Odds are pretty good that that would cause her to Q me. Hard.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 04:23 PM
{{{{I e-mailed you torture techniques. Gotta keep it on the down low around these bloggers}}}}
Should I send you ice packs now?
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 04:27 PM
Actually, now I need a titanium sports cup. Later I may need ice. I'll let you know. If she isn't too rough, it might be enjoyable...
Thanks for the email - a few of those could be fun - if that's what floats your boat.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 21, 2006 at 04:35 PM
No problem!
I would wear the cup before attempting the fondling action, if I were you!
Posted by: wench | September 21, 2006 at 04:38 PM
