Phew! Sometimes being pathetically needy has it's rewards.

"the male performer's penis must never appear more than slightly tumescent".
I think I dated him...

Layzee - don't you mean dangle in there? ;-)
Posted by: DeskDiva | July 25, 2007 at 12:06 PM
Well, I did learn something new, today. I learned the meaning of the word tumescent.
Which, depending on the definition you choose, could be:
a) swelling; slightly tumid.
b) exhibiting or affected with many ideas or emotions; teeming.
c) pompous and pretentious, esp. in the use of language; bombastic.
I think the last one is the definition that applies here.
Posted by: Schadeboy | July 25, 2007 at 12:07 PM
Depends on whom you're talking about, Schade.
Posted by: DeskDiva | July 25, 2007 at 12:08 PM
In my case, it could easily be definition B.
Posted by: Schadeboy | July 25, 2007 at 12:13 PM
This explains a lot about the Florida Weirdness Peninsula.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 25, 2007 at 12:20 PM
LOL Annie!

So, Paul McC@rtney had more in mind than landscapes, it seems:

The rule is thought to have first been broken on UK television by a 2003 Channel 4 series entitled Under the Knife with Miss Evans.
Somehow 'tumescent' and 'under the knife' just don't seem to go together.
Posted by: fivver | July 25, 2007 at 12:27 PM
Then someone tell Harvey Keitel to keep his dang clothes on.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 25, 2007 at 12:30 PM
I read definition a) as "slightly timid"...which might also fit

My paternal family was orig from the Isle of Skye... no McIntyres that I know of... we were a more upstanding clan, apparently:)
..angle of the dangle....
Posted by: russellmc | July 25, 2007 at 12:32 PM
NOW can I say it, Stevie?
Those wacky Brits!
Posted by: Eleanor | July 25, 2007 at 12:34 PM
angle of the dangle?
British class always shows, doesn't it?

Mulled whine-
"Noooo, not tonight- I have a headache!"
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 25, 2007 at 12:40 PM
Then take an aspirin.
Posted by: Alive and Kickin' | July 25, 2007 at 12:49 PM
I'm gonna take an aspirin, all right. And put it where the doorknob's gonna hit ya.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 25, 2007 at 12:52 PM
at first I thought it said professor John Holmes!
Posted by: Jazzzz | July 25, 2007 at 12:53 PM
I'm with you, fivver! Even mentioning erect or semi-erect penises in the same story with the words "Under the knife" made me shudder.....
Posted by: Clark Kent | July 25, 2007 at 12:54 PM
...then so much for circumnavigating the Mull of Kintyre.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 25, 2007 at 12:55 PM
hmm...sorta on topic but not really.
My sister just came back from Eng/Scotland and they brought me a set of coasters showing a lovely photo of a kilted-man's butt. I thought of judi.
Back to the tumescent mcpenis! (probably not a good name for a new sammich).
Posted by: Siouxie | July 25, 2007 at 01:05 PM
*will be serving our Pre-Hunt party cocktails on those coasters, of course*
Posted by: Siouxie | July 25, 2007 at 01:06 PM
Mull of Kintyre = to fully merkin
*snork*

Viva Kielbasa!
(was that out McLoud?)
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 25, 2007 at 01:08 PM
This is gonna turn out to be quite the slumber party Suz. You up for it? Do you have enough feather pillows for the inevitable fight?
Posted by: casey | July 25, 2007 at 01:09 PM
casey, if not, I'll pluck the feather boas. ;-)
Posted by: Siouxie | July 25, 2007 at 01:25 PM
Given Siouxie's propensity for breaking out the hot wax, it might be wise to put away anything involving feathers.
Posted by: Doc Rick | July 25, 2007 at 01:30 PM
This reminds me of the beefcake I had for breakfast.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 25, 2007 at 01:31 PM
Of course a house full of women is the equivalent of a bunch of cackling hens so I guess it would be allright. *ducks behind the bar*
Posted by: Doc Rick | July 25, 2007 at 01:31 PM
That is one big Mull.
Posted by: Bethie | July 25, 2007 at 01:31 PM
LMAO, Rick. :) How are ya this fine mornin'? Still blazin' hot?
Hm. Well, I know YOU'RE blazin' hot, but I really meant the weather. ;-)
Posted by: DeskDiva | July 25, 2007 at 01:32 PM
Bethie - put your spurs on. We got the Doc in a simul sandwich.
It's gonna be a long day.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 25, 2007 at 01:33 PM
Apparently we moved to the Amazon in my sleep Diva. Hot and rainy all the time down here lately.
Posted by: Doc Rick | July 25, 2007 at 01:33 PM
Good thing I've got to get back to work...*cloud of smoke and exit door stage left before the butt kickin'*
Posted by: Doc Rick | July 25, 2007 at 01:35 PM
*glares @ Rick*
*holds up her hot wax jar*
you were sayin??
Posted by: Siouxie | July 25, 2007 at 01:35 PM
*watches Rick's feathers scatter as he high-tails it outta here*
*cluck* *cluck*
Posted by: Siouxie | July 25, 2007 at 01:38 PM
Where'd Doc Chick go? He forgot some of his tailfeathers.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 25, 2007 at 01:41 PM
*will be serving our Pre-Hunt party cocktails on those coasters, of course*
Posted by: Siouxie | 01:06 PM on July 25, 2007
well that clinches it. i'm in even if i have to kennel the boys.
Posted by: crossgirl | July 25, 2007 at 01:42 PM
Ah keeps mah tailfeathers numbered for occasions such as these....
Posted by: Foghorn Leghorn | July 25, 2007 at 01:47 PM
Nah, cg. You go to the Hunt. I'll watch your boysies. They should provide good entertainment.
*digs around for that book 1000 Boys Should Never Be Allowed to Do.
Posted by: DeskDiva | July 25, 2007 at 01:49 PM
Everybody just keep their hot wax, feathers, and especially SPURS put away. I'll buy all the ladies booze later tonight.
Posted by: Doc Rick | July 25, 2007 at 01:50 PM
Oh, I don't know, Doc...get rid of that hot wax and the rest of it sounds kinda interesting.
Posted by: Alive and Kickin' | July 25, 2007 at 01:52 PM
Doc - then whatcha gonna buy for me and Siouxie?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 25, 2007 at 01:54 PM
A&K, you know we don't do spurs and feathers without the wax. It's a package deal at "Sioux & Annie's House of Wax Emporium".
Posted by: Siouxie | July 25, 2007 at 01:55 PM
Doc, say shoes.
Works every d@mn time.
Posted by: Alive and Kickin' | July 25, 2007 at 01:55 PM
Oh geez... who gave Siouxie the wax?
Posted by: CTProf | July 25, 2007 at 01:57 PM
And chocolate.
Careful where you kick there A&K.
Posted by: Siouxie | July 25, 2007 at 01:59 PM
AK's right. Try these shoes. They're cute AND edible.
Posted by: DeskDiva | July 25, 2007 at 02:01 PM

CTP, whadda ya mean WHO?
You were supposed to keep that stuff in a super-secret-they'll-never-find-it-there hidin' spot.
Posted by: Alive and Kickin' | July 25, 2007 at 02:02 PM
LMAO ^5! psychic simul!
Posted by: Siouxie | July 25, 2007 at 02:02 PM
oh my...4-way with 2 of me???
Those Pilates classes are really starting to pay off.
Posted by: Siouxie | July 25, 2007 at 02:04 PM
Women are sneaky AK... I TRIED to hide it.
Posted by: CTProf | July 25, 2007 at 02:04 PM
CT Prof - you volunteering to be included in the '2 for 1' sale? Because that CAN be arranged.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 25, 2007 at 02:04 PM
Did someone say free drinks?
Posted by: Lady | July 25, 2007 at 02:04 PM
I personally thought we had locked the hot wax in a safe strapped with chains and padlocks and dumped it into the Mississippi river.
Posted by: Doc Rick | July 25, 2007 at 02:05 PM
and another 4-way...I'm heating up the damn wax myself!
*smokes*
Posted by: Siouxie | July 25, 2007 at 02:06 PM
thanks diva! you think a refrigerator box will be big enough to ship 'em in?
Posted by: crossgirl | July 25, 2007 at 02:06 PM
We could take all the batteries and hold them hostage until the wax goes away.
And no thanks Annie... I'll let someone else take advantage of your generous offer.
Posted by: CTProf | July 25, 2007 at 02:07 PM
Rick, I thought you had some work to do??? besides...we have our sources.
and a *snork* @ the Lady!
Posted by: Siouxie | July 25, 2007 at 02:08 PM
Possibly. But I can ship me down easier. If you do decide to send 'em, tho, don't forget a water dish and some airholes.
Posted by: DeskDiva | July 25, 2007 at 02:10 PM
Report to the blog bar this evening Lady! It's my Friday so the party is on! I'll break out the Visa Nickel card so come ready to imbibe. Or get drunk, whichever!
Posted by: Doc Rick | July 25, 2007 at 02:10 PM
CT Prof - batteries? We don't need no steenkink batteries! We gots Manuel backup.
I didn't say you weren't getting waxed. I just asked if you were volunteering. Sometimes you volunteer, sometimes you get volunteered.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 25, 2007 at 02:11 PM
Yes Siouxie, I had some work to do. Then Michael Vick decided to cancel his press conference so I'm off the hook for now. You'll just have to deal with me. *oh crap, should not have said that last statement to Siouxie*
Posted by: Doc Rick | July 25, 2007 at 02:12 PM
exxxactly, Annie! Manuel looks like he can go on and go on and go on....
Posted by: Siouxie | July 25, 2007 at 02:13 PM
*Shakes head sadly*
Good luck, Doc.
Posted by: Hammond Rye | July 25, 2007 at 02:15 PM
Have I ever mentioned my severe allergy to pain Annie?
Posted by: CTProf | July 25, 2007 at 02:16 PM
*Waves @ Hammie!!* Hey, missed you this morning! How are you today?
Posted by: DeskDiva | July 25, 2007 at 02:17 PM

Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 25, 2007 at 02:17 PM
diva, if you're shipping yourself down, you're going all the way to miami with us. i'll just set a water bowl out for the kids.
Posted by: crossgirl | July 25, 2007 at 02:18 PM
*Backs out of door slowly*
*Waves non-threateningly @ DD*
Posted by: Hammond Rye | July 25, 2007 at 02:19 PM
Annie, with Rick that's 4!
Prof, don't worry. It'll be quick. Promise.
Posted by: Siouxie | July 25, 2007 at 02:19 PM
Thanks Hammond! Pretty much assuming I'll be in the safe mentioned above once Siouxie gets ahold of me. Good thing I can hold my breath for long periods. (comes from biting your tounge around the workplace)
Posted by: Doc Rick | July 25, 2007 at 02:20 PM
Hammie, you don't gots to be 'fraid o' me. I don't have any wax.
*shows Hammie both hands*
cg - that's a nice idea, but then what would you do with your boysies?
Posted by: DeskDiva | July 25, 2007 at 02:21 PM
cg, those automatic pet feeders work great too!
Posted by: Siouxie | July 25, 2007 at 02:27 PM
All I know is that with mrs. padraig finally arriving home this evening after four days at Boy Scout camp, all I frickin' needed was a bunch of talk about peninsulas and promontories....
Posted by: padraig | July 25, 2007 at 02:39 PM
Mull of Kintyre?
I've heard it said that there are some guys who can merely wish it looked that good ... yeah, I've heard that said ... uh-huh ...
Posted by: OtheU(manity) | July 25, 2007 at 02:48 PM
siouxie's been on grownup vacation before, hmmm?
Posted by: crossgirl | July 25, 2007 at 02:49 PM
cg, you never heard it from me.
Posted by: Siouxie | July 25, 2007 at 02:54 PM
padraig - you're married to a boy scout? NTTAWWT, but is there a badge for that now?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 25, 2007 at 03:10 PM
I was a Boy Scout.
Got kicked out fer eatin' brownies.
Posted by: Alive and Kickin' | July 25, 2007 at 03:18 PM
I just zip in for a minute (sorry Eleanor) and find yet another reason to visit Great Britain....Zipping out....
Posted by: Kathybear | July 25, 2007 at 03:20 PM
*SMACKS* A&K!
I was a Girl Scout. Got thrown out for showing my Samoas.
Posted by: Siouxie | July 25, 2007 at 03:26 PM
That was YOU??!!
Hey, I'm sorry about that whole "no, you really can get a merit badge for this" episode.
Posted by: Alive and Kickin' | July 25, 2007 at 03:31 PM
No problem, Kathybear. :)
Posted by: Eleanor | July 25, 2007 at 03:51 PM
The angle of the dangle is equal to the tickle of the pickle
Posted by: Bamadano | July 25, 2007 at 03:59 PM
mrs. padraig as it happens is an Official Assistant Scout Master, and as it also happens I have a weakness for a woman in uniform. I think it's the cuffed khaki shorts and the epaulets that get me worked up.
Or maybe it's just an old Linda Ronstadt fixation...
Posted by: padraig | July 25, 2007 at 04:01 PM
Linda wuz a Cub Scout?
I did NOT know that! She wuzn't in MY Den ...
