You couldn't handle that kite! :)
Posted by: 24-aholic | July 24, 2006 at 01:22 PM
Bazoomage, duh!
That kite is 110% of awesome.
Posted by: fudtheman | July 24, 2006 at 01:23 PM
What's the point?
Curser, foiled again.
You could REALLY make a giant "I'm with Stupid" now!
Posted by: Punkin Poo | July 24, 2006 at 01:24 PM
That kite has some nice ramparts....think Toys R Us is going to carry it?
Posted by: Baltimore Kat | July 24, 2006 at 01:25 PM
Dear Blog - would you be pasting Mrs Blog's face on that kite or Leetie-head?
Posted by: MOTW | July 24, 2006 at 01:25 PM
Dave - Pretty prolific posting presently. Are you waiting at a laundromat or something???
Posted by: Punkin Poo | July 24, 2006 at 01:26 PM
Does the Cute girl come with it?
Posted by: Alfred | July 24, 2006 at 01:33 PM
A small part of me thought initially thought that it was the girl that was the kite. Thus, I found it somewhat saddening to realize it was just a large cursor.
I think it would be quite cool to make a life-size girl-kite.
However, to joy of pointing at things for no apparent reason is not lost on me. So... Awesome Kite.
Posted by: Bobicus | July 24, 2006 at 01:39 PM
I would think (not being a guy myself) that the only reason for a guy to have a "girl kite" would be to look up it's skirt. Am I wrong?
Posted by: Punkin Poo | July 24, 2006 at 01:43 PM
The best part about this kite is its nice piece of tail.
Posted by: Layzeeboy | July 24, 2006 at 01:46 PM
Punkin, Punkin...as a woman of your bazoomage giftedness, you should know that we male men don't JUST want to look up the skirt but also down the shirt.
Posted by: blurkernomore | July 24, 2006 at 01:46 PM
Yes, Blurkie - but kite flying doesn't seem conducive to bazoombage diving.
*turns down A/C in office - nips keep putting holes in my shirts*
Posted by: Punkin Poo | July 24, 2006 at 01:56 PM
Turning down the A/C means you're lowering the temperature, making it yet colder than it already is, thus ensuring more hole-pokage from nipping bazoomage.
Posted by: Your friendly neighborhood reference wench | July 24, 2006 at 02:05 PM
So THAT'S what I've been doing wrong!!!
*puts duct tape over yet 2 more holes*
Posted by: Punkin (what do you expect from a blonde with bazoomas) Poo | July 24, 2006 at 02:08 PM
yfnrw - Shhhhhh....don't let Punkin know.
Posted by: fudtheman | July 24, 2006 at 02:08 PM
Blast! We've been had!
Posted by: fudtheman | July 24, 2006 at 02:09 PM
Punkin...the cure. You could be able to cut glass and no one will ever know.
Boy it took me way too long to realize that the arrow was the kite. At least I know it's just cuz I'm tired. It would be awful to be that stupid all the time.
Posted by: Ann | July 24, 2006 at 02:25 PM
Thanks, Ann - I will check it out when I get home - my office has banned "the GAP". Smart office.
Posted by: Punkin (pokey) Poo | July 24, 2006 at 02:28 PM
The burning man event is um...interesting. That's where I got that photo of a naked dude on a bike with Dolly the sheep....some amazing shots, but beware of nakedness... here.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 24, 2006 at 02:28 PM
Ann, if you ever want to distract the blog boys for a bit (for whatever reason), that's exactly how you do it. - a twinkie linkie.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 24, 2006 at 02:30 PM
Yeah, you can skip the regular store. But Gap Body makes the best stuff, from bazoomage-support to loungewear.
Posted by: Ann | July 24, 2006 at 02:32 PM
I'm just curious to know what happened to that chick after the giant cursor kite poked her head...
Posted by: Siouxie | July 24, 2006 at 02:35 PM
She deflated.
Posted by: Punkin Poo | July 24, 2006 at 02:37 PM
*snork*!!! ssssssssssssssssssssssss
Posted by: Siouxie | July 24, 2006 at 02:39 PM
Yeah, AWBH, I definitely had second thoughts on that link. But then I had third thoughts because that particular item is so worth owning.
Posted by: Ann | July 24, 2006 at 02:42 PM
I agree - I had the same problem, but solved it with the IPEX from VS.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 24, 2006 at 02:43 PM
Punkin - maybe you could put the duct tape over the nipplage to solve the problem
Posted by: Layzeeboy | July 24, 2006 at 02:47 PM
Yeah, but ripping it off is so....FRIKKIN PAINFUL!
Posted by: Punkin Poo | July 24, 2006 at 02:49 PM
I for one, being a man of the male gender, cannot tell the difference between these and a regular bra (and I've been studying the pictures for awhile). Are they thicker material? Easier to remove?
What I did notice is pics 1 & 7 are exactly the same, minus the color; and the same with 5 & 6, but 6 is also slightly zoomed out compared to 5 (not sure why).
Posted by: fudtheman | July 24, 2006 at 02:51 PM
fud-It keeps us warm in cold rooms. IYKWIM
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | July 24, 2006 at 02:59 PM
"Easier to remove?" - such a guy!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 24, 2006 at 02:59 PM
Here, guys, since I can't be there in person, and it's too hot here to entertain you....enjoy.
oh, and warning - code yellow, I think.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 24, 2006 at 03:05 PM
Not that I have too much trouble with clasps, but I'm just saying, with all the advancements in bra technology, dontcha think they could figure out how to attach it using...oh, i don't know....velcro?
Posted by: fudtheman | July 24, 2006 at 03:07 PM
Yellow isn't the first color that comes to mind...
I'm thinking more, "red-hot"
Posted by: fudtheman | July 24, 2006 at 03:08 PM
Sorry to take this thread off topic and talk about the kite, but for those of you not familiar with modern stunt kites this is a good one!
It's a quad (4-line) kite which means that you can put it just about anywhere downwind from where you are. You can make it fly backwards, forwards, sideways, spin in place - whatever you want.
With a regular (2-line) stunt kite you're somewhat limited in what you can do. Sure, it's fun to come screaming across the area 3 feet off the ground at 40 mph, but it would be even more fun to silently and stealthily sneak up behind someone scratching an 'interesting' itch and then hang there, making sure everyone notices.
Posted by: KCSteve | July 24, 2006 at 03:09 PM
What kite?
Posted by: fudtheman | July 24, 2006 at 03:13 PM
fud, what a diligent researcher you are. The cut and material of a bra are critical determinants of whether a woman of the female gender looks lovely or awful. For the purposes Punkin mentioned, this one is good because it has a thicker lining than normal, which hides certain evidence of one's being cold, but it's not "padded" to make one's bazoomage appear bigger than it is. It used to be that your only choices were "paper-thin" or "enough padding to make people think you're Pamela Anderson."
Posted by: Ann | July 24, 2006 at 03:14 PM
fud - girly secret here - we judge guys on, among other things, their ability to handle those hooks. Do they:
-give up immediately?
-finesse the unhooking like a pro?
-attempt to unhook it several times, then whine when they're unsuccessful?
-don't even try, just tear it off like they beasts they truly are?
-suggest we replace the hooks with something easier, like velcro?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 24, 2006 at 03:17 PM
In college, I knew a guy who could unhook a three-clasper one-handed through a heavy winter coat, a thick sweater, and a t-shirt. He did it for kicks at parties (also outdoors, hence the coat thing). Velcro would insult him.
Posted by: Ann | July 24, 2006 at 03:20 PM
Well, I'm glad they have these, because as much as I may (or may not) be trying to listen to a woman I find it hard...difficult...nay, near impossible to do so, if she is, uh...ummm...
what was i saying again?
Posted by: fudtheman | July 24, 2006 at 03:20 PM
AWBH - I see your point(s).
Would you like me to demonstrate my skill?
Posted by: fudtheman | July 24, 2006 at 03:23 PM
Ann, thanks for the pictures.
Fud, what were you saying?
Posted by: blurkernomore | July 24, 2006 at 03:24 PM
You're gonna nead a ladder to get outa this hole, Fud.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | July 24, 2006 at 03:27 PM
so, fud, are you insinuating you're not a 2-line stunt kite, but a 4-line?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 24, 2006 at 03:27 PM
I can spell, I just can't type.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | July 24, 2006 at 03:28 PM
*snork* @ Wyo cowboy.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 24, 2006 at 03:29 PM
KCSteve ~
Your enthusiasm for the stealth kite is endearing.
Posted by: Cat R. | July 24, 2006 at 03:29 PM
Wonder how many Leetie kites we could sell, and what kind of percentage she'd ask for...
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | July 24, 2006 at 03:36 PM
ahh we're back to the REAL topic now :)
Posted by: Siouxie | July 24, 2006 at 03:37 PM
Leetie's the real topic?
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | July 24, 2006 at 03:38 PM
Actually, the real topic was Punkin and duct tape.
Posted by: blurkernomore | July 24, 2006 at 03:40 PM
Blending the main topics of this thread together, "Kite Bazoomage" WBAGNFAB. Of course, it's completely random and has no meaning, but neither does anything else in music today. Take "Gnarls Barkley." Or "Blink 182."
Posted by: Ann | July 24, 2006 at 03:49 PM
The trick to getting a bra off of a woman is to be sooo damn sexy the woman tears it off of herself....Just sayin'
Posted by: Jazzzz | July 24, 2006 at 03:56 PM
Wyo -what I meant was the topic USUALLY being of the bazoomage kind - no matter how it starts out ...
Posted by: Siouxie | July 24, 2006 at 03:57 PM
Frankly, Frank, I'm a little worried about Fud and KCSteve. I've never seen a guy change the topic from bazoomage to kites, nor have I seen a guy want to discuss the possible schematic re-engineering of a brassiere.
Either one of you two work with Linux?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 24, 2006 at 04:10 PM
Huh? Whut kite?
Posted by: blurkernomore | July 24, 2006 at 04:17 PM
sigh..
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 24, 2006 at 04:24 PM
Somebody needs to invent a bazoom kite. Would take the weight off the shoulder straps.
How's that for keeping the thread in there somewhere?
Posted by: Hanna | July 24, 2006 at 04:27 PM
Wyo - No ladder needed. I like it in this hole, there's a plasma TV in it. (I'll be back in a few days, you know, when global warming floods the hole so I can float up to the top).
Which reminds me, in regards to this whole "nippage protrusion" problem - I blame global cooling.
AWBH - I have taken some time to reflect on my past experiences, and it seems to me, that early on I was quite good at 1, 2, or 3 hooks with one hand, but more recently I seem to have delveloped the "no-handed stare", by which the bra, upon seeing this look, just falls off.
I may be leaving out some of the details...
Posted by: fudtheman | July 24, 2006 at 04:28 PM
fud-"some of the details" like what, lots of alcohol?
Posted by: maggie | July 24, 2006 at 04:31 PM
No, no, no. Actually more along the lines of Jazzz's 3:56 post, OR I unhooked it 10 minutes ago to get the desired effect.
Ok, maybe a little alcohol ("Me and the captain make it happen!")
Posted by: fudtheman | July 24, 2006 at 04:35 PM
Ha, ha, I see. All's fair in love and war.
Posted by: maggie | July 24, 2006 at 04:38 PM
Hey Hey Hey! I don't appreciate my bazoombage being tossed carelessly about!
(How many times have I said THAT?!)
Posted by: Punkin Poo | July 24, 2006 at 04:40 PM
Trust me, Punkin, it's not careless.
Posted by: blurkernomore | July 24, 2006 at 04:42 PM
*Off-topic alert*
I just checked my email and got a message titled "Nondairy Missle." Either I am getting email about Walter or the Random English Word Generator strikes again. Either way, it is potentially AGNFAB, and definitely dirty.
*OK, back on topic*
Posted by: Ann | July 24, 2006 at 04:45 PM
Punkin. I've seen your bazoombage's. They could be registered as a deadly weapon(s) !
Certainly not a concealed weapon(s) anyway.
Posted by: Musically Challenged | July 24, 2006 at 04:46 PM
fud - try undoing a bra with about 1500 lbs of dynamic tension on it! The resulting explosive expansion can take a man's head off!
(Interpret that any way you like)
Posted by: Punkin Poo | July 24, 2006 at 04:47 PM
Damn it's cold in here...
I'm sorry Punkin, what were you saying?
Posted by: fudtheman | July 24, 2006 at 04:48 PM
*slowly raises hand*
Um...Punkin...I'll give it a try.
Posted by: blurkernomore | July 24, 2006 at 04:49 PM
You're a brave, brave, horny little man, Blurkie....
...Exactly the qualifications I listed on E-Harmony!
Posted by: Punkin Poo | July 24, 2006 at 04:57 PM
My eyes are up here, fud.
Posted by: Punkin Poo | July 24, 2006 at 04:58 PM
"Exploding Bazoomage" wbag...way for me to die.
Posted by: blurkernomore | July 24, 2006 at 05:05 PM
huh? what? somebody say something?
oh, hi Punkin.
Posted by: fudtheman | July 24, 2006 at 05:06 PM
Amen to that, blucky. I mean blurkie
Posted by: fudtheman | July 24, 2006 at 05:07 PM
"way for me to die;" you would certainly go down in history as having a unique cause of death.
Posted by: maggie | July 24, 2006 at 05:08 PM
at least you'd be smilin' blurker!
Punkin- what you said reminded me of a friend of mine - has a coupla DD's - and once we were out...talking to some guys and she looked at one and goes...THEY don't talk back!
I was LMAO!
Posted by: Siouxie | July 24, 2006 at 05:08 PM
no, he'd die pretty much the same way everyone else does...lack of oxygen to the brain.
Posted by: fudtheman | July 24, 2006 at 05:10 PM
Blurk...at least in Punkin's case, it would probably be an experience something like this (about which, as a reader of The Blog, I am sure you are familiar).
Posted by: Ann | July 24, 2006 at 05:10 PM
*changes "about" to "with"*
Posted by: Ann | July 24, 2006 at 05:11 PM
as in he'd die from being smothered by them?
Posted by: maggie | July 24, 2006 at 05:11 PM
Save yourselves!!! I'm goin' in!!!
Posted by: blurkernomore | July 24, 2006 at 05:14 PM
Good luck, blurk. Watch out for falling whale blubber.
Posted by: fudtheman | July 24, 2006 at 05:16 PM
"the blast blasted the blubber beyond all believable bounds" !!!
Posted by: maggie | July 24, 2006 at 05:16 PM
Thanks, fud.
Punkin, thanks for the mammaries.
OK, that was just bad.
Posted by: blurkernomore | July 24, 2006 at 05:18 PM
*zips in LTTG*
So where was the kite?
pssst to the ladies - do you think the guys know they get graded on their ability to do the "unhook" thing with one hand?
Posted by: Eleanor | July 24, 2006 at 05:21 PM
Eleanor---excellent point about grading. The sad thing is that it's "pass/fail" not an A/B/C grade scale.
Posted by: maggie | July 24, 2006 at 05:24 PM
yes, El , butt they're graded on a....curve.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 24, 2006 at 05:25 PM
Whoo!!! I survived!!
El, despite my considerable one hand talent (if I do say so myself), in Punkin's case it required a chain, wench, bungee cord, space suit foot restraint, WD-40 and two professional wrestlers.
Posted by: blurkernomore | July 24, 2006 at 05:27 PM
soooo true.
Posted by: maggie | July 24, 2006 at 05:27 PM
wench or wrench?
Posted by: maggie | July 24, 2006 at 05:28 PM
I think I meant "winch"
I are learnt to spell tomorrow.
Posted by: blurkernomore | July 24, 2006 at 05:30 PM
Punkin supplied the wench.
I know, I know, I am SO in trouble for that one but it was too easy to pass up.
*blinks apologetically at Punkin*
Posted by: blurkernomore | July 24, 2006 at 05:36 PM
I realized the ambiguity of wench, which is why I asked.
Posted by: maggie | July 24, 2006 at 05:39 PM
Oh - were you in there, Blurkie? I just thought my underwire was pinching!
Posted by: Punkin Poo | July 24, 2006 at 05:48 PM
I dunno maggie, that guy I knew in college definitely got an "A" from me. He could run a clinic. *realizes this is the idea that will bring in billions* *wonders why she published it*
Posted by: Ann | July 24, 2006 at 05:50 PM
lol, perhaps you're right. Maybe he can teach classes, "The one-handed art form"
Posted by: maggie | July 24, 2006 at 05:52 PM
Punkin, you couldn't tell that was me? I was even wearin' a hard hat.
I wonder who's gonna run with THAT comment.
Posted by: blurkernomore | July 24, 2006 at 05:52 PM
I think yer on yer own blurker
Posted by: Siouxie | July 24, 2006 at 05:57 PM
I think Mrs. Blurkie would run with that comment.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 24, 2006 at 05:58 PM
